I just moved into my house April 1st of this year. Stuff is starting to grow and I am uncertain what most of these plants/shrubs or trees are. Now I live in zone 5. So maybe this will help IDing these plants. Item #1 we have this tree which I thought was an apple tree. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y143/Dupss/house/Garden/DSCN2893.jpg Here is a close up of the new growth maybe it'll help with the ID. Next up.. Item #2 Item #3 Item #4 Item #5 Item #6 Item #7 Item #8 Item #9 Item #10 Item #11 Now I was wondering if anyone had suggestions with the following shrubs/cedar trees. There are a few dying spots. Now are these trees too sick to recover? Or just not well maintained? The previous owners were so so with upkeep according to the neighbours. Patient #1 Close up Patient #2 Patient #3 So any suggestions or ideas on how to fix the brown spots in those shrubs is much appreciated. Thanks in advance for those trying to ID these plants.
item 4 is a Sedum, one of the tall ones like Autumn Joy. item 6 is a peony. item 7 probably lilies, I think also item 9, but by now I have clicked and scrolled back and forth so much that I'm dizzy and can't bear to do it again to check for sure. item 10 possibly blue star creeper? I think you should post the questions about the cedar trees in the conifers forum. Also, if you post your pictures in the body of your email directly it is oh-so-much easier to remain organized while responding.
#2 Eatern redbud? #3 is echinacea (purple cone flower) #4 sedum autum joy #5 spirea #6 peony #7type of lily #8 iris #9 another type of lily #10 Creeping phlox #11 varigated liriope..................There u go!
no way #3 is echinacea, not even close....more likely an oregano, perhaps golden oregano...crush a little and smell it.
sorry..i looked at the wrong one... #1 is redbud maybe... and #2 is echinacea.. and yes woodschmoe u r right#3 is greek oregano.. im sorry
Since photos not visible here most of comments meaningless to someone who hasn't clicked on the links, then come back to look at comments, then clicked on links again...like me.
Looks like anthracnose on the evergreens to me. And a minor infection if it is. This generally is easy to clean up with the proper treatments. But if left untreated, and it is anthracnose, it can spread across the plant quicker then one may like. If it is diagnosed as this, then copper is likey the safest and most effective treatment, spring and fall. Removal of infected areas are also imortant. And keep clipping off the tips that get reinfected each year till its gone. Jim
Sorry about the links. I usually post links to the photobucket with IMG tags but this one just links it. I could do attachements but my pictures are on my system at home and are much too large for the attachement maximum, Thanks to all taking the time to go back and worth. Here is a hint for Internet Explorer users. Just hold shift and click on the link. It'll open in a new window so that'll help a bit for the back and forth :)
#1 - Syringa vulgaris (Lilac) #6 - Paeonia lactiflora or related species #10 - Phlox sp. Patient #1 - Juniperus (sp.) possibly J. scopulorum (Rocky Mts Juniper) Patients #2 and #3 (and also "close-up" under #1: this doesn't look to be the same plant as #1!) - Thuja occidentalis (Arborvitae) cultivars. They all look a bit like a large dog has been peeing on them. If not, then check out Cercospora, Kabatina and Phomopsis juniper blights.
#1 is a lilac but not vulgaris. It's S. reticulata (Japanese Tree Lilac) #2 is an Echinacea of some sort #5 looks like a Spirea (Spirea japonica) #6 - Peony #7 - Iris, probably Siberean Iris? #10 - Moss Phlox (P. subulata) #11 - Crocus foliage
