Want to plant a tree? Consider ‘climate-smart’ ones that can take our future heat | George Weigel Today 7:00 AM A changing climate is behind some of the troubles the region has been experiencing lately in conifer health. Facebook Share Our climate isn’t like it was a generation ago, and our plants are showing it – especially trees. Many of Pennsylvania’s recent tree demises – from diseases on spruce and firs to branch diebacks on Japanese maples to “mysterious” deaths of sugar maples – are directly or indirectly related to climate changes. And it’s not just warmer temperatures, as we saw during last year’s hottest month ever in July, or the string of recent record-setting warm years.

Gardens of the Cross Timbers: Plant zoos

Gardens of the Cross Timbers: Plant zoos Becky Emerson Carlberg Contributing writer The native spring flowers keep coming. The dewberries (Rubus species), close relatives of blackberries, form trailing vines close to the ground, not upright canes. Dewberries bloom before blackberries and are now producing five petaled white flowers. Soon, sweet little squishy purple raspberry-like fruits will be ripe and ready. The black locust trees (Robinia pseudoacacia) are blooming. If planted near crops or trees, the nitrogen-fixing legume enhances their growth. Honeybees and bumblebees love the flowers. Another example of an American plant taken overseas. Hungarians imported black locust seeds in the 1700s. Through selective breeding, strong black locust stock was developed. Not only are Hungarian forests almost 20% black locust, the tree has become important in their commercial honey business.
