Trees and shrubs that work well in New Hampshire landscaping.
Research results for landscape and nursery professionals.
Several species of insects bore into NH apple trees, including roundheaded apple tree borer, flatheaded apple tree borer, dogwood borer, leopard moth and the broad-necked root borer.
Common New England trees are illustrated with a sketch and description of leaves or needles, twigs, fruit, and bark.
Lists drought tolerant plants for New Hampshire.
Guide for growing dwarf apple trees at home.
Dwarf apple trees offer real advantages over standard (also called seedling) apple trees. They require less space in the garden. Their reduced size makes it easier to prune and spray the trees and harvest fruit. In addition, dwarf trees bear fruit earlier than their standard-sized counterparts, often just 3-4 years from planting, as compared with 7-10 years for the average standard tree.
Intended for commercial landscapers, property managers and nursery audiences.
Summarizes a quick and efficient method to estimate the volume of potentially salvageable timber blown over by heavy winds. This description presumes an understanding of standard methods for estimating standing timber.
Describes when to fertilize; how to manage soil pH; what fertilizers to use; how much to use; and how to apply fertilizers.
Gives a "quick and dirty" method for estimating the amount of firewood in a stand or on a woodlot.
question of the week
NH is facing a major threat to the health of our forest and landscape trees from exotic invasive insects. These invaders include the Asian longhorned beetle (ALB), emerald ash borer (EAB), hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA), and elongate hemlock scale (EHS). This guide helps growers and consumers become aware of which trees are susceptible to future infestation by these devastating insects and guides them in the selection of non-sussceptible landscape and street trees.
