Nice video. I thought “haw” meant “fruit”. V. prunifolium bears dark - nearly black - drupes.

Haw can refer to a fruit, particularly to hawthorn fruits. So you are correct, blackhaw might refer to the black fruits rather than to the bark.

What's going on with viburnum beetles? In Michigan, Extension Master Gardeners were advised against recommending V. dentatum because it was so heavily attacked, we were told most new plants would be dead within five years. Yet here on the East Coast, every video I've seen strongly recommends V. dentatum.
@SylvanGreenEarth9 ай бұрын
In Maryland the leaf beetle hasn't reached large numbers yet. I'm not sure about the status in other eastern states, although a quick search makes it seem as though it is most problematic in the northeast so far. Blackhaw viburnum is less susceptible according to Cornell University, www.hort.cornell.edu/vlb/suscept.html

Enjoyed your vid. I work in the UK - a completely different context where the place has been densely populated for many hundreds of years. Our wood anemone is Anemone nemerosa or 'wind flower'. It's one of a suite of plants that is an indicator (in context) of ancient woodlands. An ancient woodland is woodland that has never been grubbed or ploughed since 1600 or before - it may have been felled, maybe repeatedly (coppiced). If your interested, here's a link that shows the plant and the context it is sometimes found in. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXjMXpqahdephK8

Just as they were going over there were quite a lot of bluebells that would have come on to replace them in the show. Question: how long was your woodland farmed for? was it ploughed or grazing land? I'm not familiar with the American context, but I wonder if your wood anemones are like our: slow to spread and intolerant of soil disturbance?

The seeds are difficult to germinate and must not dry out before planting, so not many places carry them. Prairie Moon Nursery sells them, note their comments on keeping them cool and moist. It is easier to establish these plants from potted plants grown by a local nursery.

It would be best to transplant it in the fall. As the tree prepares to go dormant, it will cause less stress for it to be transplanted. If it's a dry fall or winter, be sure to give it some extra water after transplanting.

In late autumn a pollinated spadix will swell into a golf ball sized fruit looking like a small pineapple. You can harvest said fruit but wait until it comes off easily or you will kill the fruit. It will be soft and spongy when ready. Break the ripe fruit open and take out the marble sized seeds and put them in the refrigerator for winter or plant them in the ground and they will grow in the spring. It will take the plant seven years to reach sexual maturity at which they flower.

@@SylvanGreenEarth Thanks for the correct answer. I also did my research and looked it up. Found the same website. Good stuff. It's amazing that our Hornbeam "Ironwoods" are actually not at the very high end of the most dense hardest woods. As a large portion of the most densest and hardest woods are often the Tropical Hardwoods. I also remember from years ago in my observations, that one negative effect of Hornbeam breaking down and rot quickly in the wilds of nature. However if you harvest it, debark and Season it indoors all of it's Streangths will come together to be preserved. American Hop Hornbeam like you said is slightly harder and more resistant to rot if left out in the wilds. The larger European size version of Hornbeam is not as hard as the American version.

Thanks for the information. I just started doing some research on this tree and never new they were so historic. I have lived all over the country (primarily Northern Midwest and West), but I did live in the DC area for many years. This tree was never on my radar and I don't ever recall seeing the leaves, which are very distinct. I moved to CT four years ago and I have several of these trees on the edge of my wooded property. Most are relatively young as the tallest is probably 20 25 ft high. I just identified the trees and discovered that they are blooming. Now that I identified them, I am seeing more and more young ones on the edge of my woods. I grew up with oaks, elms, maple and birch so having this flowering tree on our property is very exciting. I noticed an increase in humming birds over the last 2 years too, so I wonder if the larger ones blooming is drawing more humming birds to my property. Thanks again for the information.

I don't know. I'm surprised it hasn't flowered again if it was flowering before it was pruned. Maybe it is putting energy into regrowing instead of flowering, but three years is a pretty long time. Could the flowers now just be too high to see? Although you should still see parts of the flowers on the ground around the tree. The flowers can be pretty short-lived though.
