[MAIPC] MAIPC Digest, Vol 64, Issue 4

Mon Feb 6 17:17:55 PST 2017

I hope that my interjection isn’t too much of a non sequitur, but both state and US Forest Service have promoted the use of the Asian sawtooth oak (Q. acutissima) for decades, which has proven to be invasive in many locales. It’s also important to consider that native oaks provide the broadest Lepidopterian host plant option of any taxon, but I don’t know if they can actually use Q. acutissima (a la Doug Tallamy).

Do the State Forest Service's apply any guidelines to choices made to raise natives rather than non-natives in state nurseries? May be a naïve question but wouldn't surprise me if this is not the case. If so, can such lists be used to guide selection by local government entities?

I've been trying to get PA DCNR's Treevitalize program to be a bit more selective about their suggested tree species list, at very least for some of the species that we've heard negative reports from the field (sawtooth oak, callery pear, corktree). They are currently working through updating their list, so hopefully I'll be able to report some positive process soon.

Nathan,
I'm glad you picked up on this. Perhaps someone on the listserve has a contact with Philadelphia Parks and Rec.

My personal view is that we might want to try to move towards something of a white-list type of advice where MAIPC or others could work towards getting these lists moved more and more towards native species and non-invasives (dare I say, that have gone through "extreme vetting?" I dare). If we could get some evidence-based information on where these non-natives have been used and for how long, it might be reasonable to give them a different designation than less well studied non-natives. I see this approach as entirely a pragmatic one (I'd prefer that nurseries produced far more diversity and abundance of native species so that they would be easier to recommend or mandate) - but at least this approach could make some inroads towards these types of plantings doing less damage and it might be more successful than a full frontal assault that could be more easily ignored and would be difficult to implement at best.

Best,
Norris

Subject: [MAIPC] Philly Street Trees

Hi all,

My roommate was applying for an internship with them and came across the list of approved Philly street trees.  Recently Philly has made a push for more planting similar to NYC's.  Well, she knows a lot about invasives due to her proximity to me talking about them.  We were very disappointed to find a number of non-natives (regionally non-native as well).  Other than crabapples (which I can't tell what species they are since they are all cultivars), I didn't immediately recognize any as commonly naturalizing, but as we all know that doesn't mean much for the future, and doesn't do as much for the environment anyways.

So I was wondering what we could do as an organization (aside from me writing a letter to them since I live here).  An impact here could make a huge difference given the geographical size of the city.  Perhaps any contacts with NYC million trees program could be useful.  Here is the list:
