Notes (Ev=Evergreen, Dec=Decidious, SE=Semi-Evergreen) Louisa: "Burns the candle at both ends" like New Yorkers, narrows at bottom as well as top of frond Judy: In wild usually grows on thin layer of soil on rocks and walls Mary: Evergreen groundcover, nothing bothers it, clumping, loves dry, shady slopes, Judy: good for preventing erosion, drought resistant after established, Louisa: Mine never grew much, evergreen but not very attractive in winter, gets brown and droops; Barbara: Nice evergreen, easy to propagate; Sharon: Planted for erosion control on shady slope
Judy: growing from seed 8/13, Louisa: May grow taller - 6-8'? , great for meadows and in gardens but I don't know how you contain it, since it spreads instead of forming clumps Natalie, Steve, Mary: Love them all Mary Holly, Andie, Andie: Color fantastic and upright over Mary winter, Holly: ditto, Mary: Beautiful fall color, withstands ice and snow Andie, Holly Andie: Color fantastic and upright over winter, Holly: ditto Natalie, AR rain Andie: Flops over, sprawls, looks messy, garden, Steve, hard to incorporate into garden, Judy: Judy growing from seed 8/13, less likely to flop in poor soil, Louisa: Many cultivars available for specific purposes

Notes (Ev=Evergreen, Dec=Decidious, SE=Semi-Evergreen) Louisa: Toxic so should be deer-proof, flowering depends on previous summer's sunlight: minimal sunlight, no flower; some sunlight, male flower; more sunlight, female flower but needs some shade to survive; Barbara: easy in shade and beautiful, easy to propagate by laying seed head in moist, shady area, Eva: Always some coming up somewhere in my yard Natalie: Alternative to astilbe, Louisa: Bloom period 1 week, during which it was always covered with bugs
Cathy: slow growing in shade, Judy: Mine grows fairly quickly, evenly and thickly in shade, self-seeds but not aggressively, Barbara: Easy, Eva: Nice groundcover Barbara: Unruly, but has beautiful rose pink flowers which are very fragrant. A few plants perfume my whole ½ acre yard. Pollinators love it! Monarchs chose to lay eggs on this over my other varieties of milkweed; Irene: I grow only for monarchs but plant seeds everywhere and can become invasive
Georgia, Pat H., Louisa: Easy and beautiful, though a Pat G., Holly, wetland plant, flourishes in good garden soil Louisa, Eva

Louisa: Great fall color Judy: Chicago Lustre together with Blue Muffin flowers more, prefers moist soil, but adaptable from dry to wet soil Judy: Chicago Lustre together with Blue Muffin flowers more, prefers moist soil, but adaptable from dry to wet soil Louisa: Indigenous only to coastal plain in MD.

Notes (Ev=Evergreen, Dec=Decidious, SE=Semi-Evergreen) Natalie, Barbara Louisa: Calciphile, needs moist shade, doesn't seem to get anthracnose; Barbara: This is the first year it bloomed, pretty white flowers, birds ate all the berries as soon as they were ripe Natalie, Pat H., Lisa: Our mature trees succumbing to Andie, Anne, anthracnose, Pat H. Ditto, Louisa: New Pat G., Lisa, anthracnose-resistant cultivar 'Appalachian Judy, Louisa, Spring' - found healthy amid thousands of Eva, Sharon dead dogwoods on Catoctin Mtn. Unfortunately not tolerant of urban heat/sun. Steve Louisa: Tolerates high pH but adaptable, great fall color and bark Judy Sylvia, Anne, Pat Lisa: Deer browse some years and others G. , Lisa, Judy, not, as high as 5'5" from ground, Louisa: Barbara Dioeceous, for berries, you'll need to find a place for a male, too Judy, Pat H. Judy: Produces juglone, a chemical toxic to some plants Anne Louisa: Form is variable, can be very odd but this has allowed many cultivars to be propagated , some stay just a few feet wide Judy, Pat H., Sharon Anne, Howard County Conservancy, Steve, Holly, Judy, Barbara, Eva Judy
Sharon: Shed leaves in dry weather Hollly: This is my favorite small tree, lemon scented blossoms in late spring! Louisa: Though a swamp tree, will grow in good, moist garden soil.

Notes (Ev=Evergreen, Dec=Decidious, SE=Semi-Evergreen) Louisa: Late to leaf out, early to color and lose leaves in fall, great fall color, textured bark, local trees have pink fall color; nurseries sell trees from Florida that turn scarlet. Louisa: Indigenous to southern Appalachians so don't expect it to grow as well here. Louisa: Not an ornamental tree, self-sows VERY aggressively. Lisa :Lovely, mature trees already on property, Louisa: Grows rapidly in full sun when young, widely adapted.
Lisa: Growing slowly; Barbara: Branches droop so not the best tree for a yard, tree trimmers pruned it nicely so that mower could get under Natalie, Barbara Louisa: Tolerant of drought and urban conditions, good street tree.
Lisa: Lovely, mature trees already on property Lisa: Lovely, mature trees already on property Lisa: Loves wet feet, great for swales to absorb runoff Louisa: Around here likely to be attacked by leaf-miners every summer. Judy: Needs periodic spraying with horticultural oil/soap to keep wooly adelgid at bay
