Presented by Mark Weathington, Director, Greg Paige, Director of Horticulture, and Tim Alderton, Research Technician, JC Raulston Arboretum on March 20, 2024
Native plants are a hot topic these days, particularly with the new legislation mandating the use of native plants on state property. Join Mark and Greg, our Director and Director of Horticulture, as they discuss the ramifications of this new law, and are then joined by our Research Technician, Tim, as they show off and discuss some of their favorite native plants that have been introduced to the trade through the JC Raulston Arboretum.
This was a live performance that was streamed online as part of our annual Day of Giving.

Love the burgundy spice calycanthus, the form in a nursery container seemed to be extremely floppy. Looking forward to seeing more of them.

Great presentation! I'm in the Wilmington area and have been looking all over for a Roulston Hardy Viburnum without luck. I think it will be a perfect addition to my pollinator garden.

"Acer skutchii, also known as Acer saccharum ssp. skutchii, is naturally one of the southern most growing maples in the world. It occurs in five disjunct populations, with four of them being in Mexico and one being in Guetemala. In its native habitat in occurs in the cloud forests and along the rivers of the rainforest which are being destroyed, making the preservation of this tree extremely important." - Mr.Maple

Good talk! I'll have to keep my eyes open for one of those White Lightning trees! That's a really beautiful form, and I might just have a spot in the yard where it could really show off! My worry about the native plant movement is this fetish for different colors in the leaves and such. Dr.Tallamy and Mt.Cuba Center have noted that even though the plant is a native, the fact that it's shape and color have been changed to appeal to human sensibilities can often mean that it's unrecognizable to the pollinators who need the plant for food and shelter. Here in South Carolina, finding native plants isn't the easiest thing. There are some good selections, but often, we're missing out on so much more because everyone's still got this obsession with non-native. Sadly, I'm fighting a never-ending battle against privet, nandina, bamboo, ivy, and a host of other invasive species threatening to overtake my position! The more natives I can get in the ground, the better, but I have to hunt hard to find them. And when you do find them, they are only one or two "mass produced" varieties rather than Straight Species that are local to the specific Eco-Region. For example, I just learned about Smooth Purple Coneflower (Echinacea laevigata) , a species that's unique to the Southeast. I'd love to have some for my garden, but getting seeds or plants has proven impossible. If the "industry" starts up factory farming to produce millions of Echinacea purpurea or Echinacea pallida, as they already do, what does that mean for the Echinacea laevigata? Too often, people throw around words like "diversity" when talking about the ecosystem, but what "diversity" is there, truly, when we're just installing millions of the same handful of plants? Who decides what plants will be on the "approved" list? I'd be totally in favor of spreading things out, contracting with small local nurseries and even trade schools or high schools that have horticulture classes. While it might be hard for any one nursery to provide thousands of plants, thousands of nurseries could provide dozens or hundreds of plants without stressing their operation. Not only would this allow for more variety and local specialization, but it would be a great way to get the young people involved. Dr. Doug Tallamy has started the Homegrown National Park website/movement, and I could very easily see some kind of cooperative agreement with the members there who can grow an extra few dozen plants for use in their local area. Just as they signed up with the website, they could sign up with the local DOT, signing a contract or pledge to provide however many pots they can. In a sense, we build community involvement in a very real way because we're involving the community at the "root" level. As we focus on the big stuff, let us not forget the little stuff. While I want one of those White Lightning trees, it will need a nice surrounding of Carex to go with it! The lowly plants, the spring ephemerals, are just as vital to our ecosystem as any large tree might be.

I have a some what contorted pinus virginiana that I'd love for yall to look at. Not sure if it can be got from cuttings or if it's true to seed considering it's covered in cones. I'm in Tazewell County virginia. I'm not sure if you'd call it contorted or horizontal but it's not normal.

We can grow 100 burning bushes a lot easier than a native plant, hence, we want to keep growing burning bushes...
