Winter Park's Mead Botanical Garden undergoes native-plant makeover

The new trees will also help clean up stormwater that flows through the park and into a nearby creek that feeds lakes Osceola, Maitland and Virginia.The crews were targeting about a dozen trees in the uplands, including towering camphors. Eventually, 30 native oaks and maples will stand in their place.The camphors, native to China, have become a popular shade tree in Winter Park and are found in yards across the city as well as in Central Park, the city’s Urban Forestry Manager Dru Dennison said.“Camphors are difficult ones because they’re so attractive, people get attached,” said urban forestry manager Dru Dennison. “They do cause problems … they push out native species. They’re very aggressive trees.”It will take between two and three years for all of the non-native plants to be removed, Egan said.“We’ll grab everything that was native to this area and try to re-establish,” Dennison said. “Long term, I believe it will be an outside schoolroom, where folks can come and it will be a healthy environment that will produce native bird species.”The work won’t stop Holder from venturing into the park with her young grandsons and the family’s new rescue dog, Milky.“I always love to see what flowers are in bloom, ” Holder said. “You can tell the caretakers do a great job.”Have a news tip?

The smell of citrus flowers is intensely divine!

The tangelos are tangerine-grapefruit hybrids that produce loose-skinned, tangerine-like fruits. Cultivars include Orlando, Lee, Robinson, Osceola, Nova and Page. However, plant alongside Dancy or Clementine for cross pollination for best fruiting.If an effort is made to grow sweet oranges, then cold protection will also be needed (cold damage occurs at or below 20 degrees F). Cultivars include Hamlin and Ambersweet. The naval orange is also a good choice to grow. Cultivars include Washington, Dream and Summerfield.The acid types of citrus provide favorable fruits and make effective ornamental specimens. They are self-fruitful and do not require cross pollination. The kumquats are the most cold tolerant of this group. They will withstand temperatures as low as 15 degrees F. The small orange-like fruit is about one inch in diameter and can be eaten fresh (peel and all) or used in making jellies, marmalade and candies. Cultivars include Nagami (oblong to pear-shaped fruit with acid pulp), Marumi (round and sweet) and Meiwa (round and sweet).The calamondins have small, round fruits with acid pulp and look like a tangerine. These can be grown as a container planting, either indoors or outdoors, and have good cold tolerance (low 20’s degrees F). The fruits are yellow to orange in color and can be used as lemon or lime substitutes.The lemon is another good choice of citrus for the landscape and will tolerate temperatures in the mid 20’s degrees F. Meyer is a good cold-tolerant cultivar. The limequat is a very cold tolerant (low 20’s degrees F) lime-kumquat hybrid which makes a very attractive container plant. They produce fruit resembling the lime in looks and quality. Eustis, Lakeland and Tavares are cultivars of the limequat.The Thomasville citrangequat is a cold hardy citrus tree with good fruit and makes a great lime substitute with a kumquat/orange flavor. The tree is named for Thomasville, Georgia where it first fruited and is will tolerate temperatures to 5 degrees F once established.Citrus trees are self-fruitful and do not require cross-pollination, excepting Clementine tangerines and Orlando tangelos. The self-fruitful types of citrus may be grown as single trees in the landscape for aesthetics and fruit. They produce fruit best when grown in full sun, but large tree canopies can provide some degree of winter protection. Do not plant these trees near septic tanks or drain fields. Citrus trees do best in sandy loam soils with good drainage.Blossom, fruit, and leaf drop can be noticed in citrus and happens naturally. Such natural shedding of flowers and fruits prevents citrus from overproducing which minimizes stress to the plant. Citrus leaves remain intact for about two years and then drop. However, some leaf drop occurs throughout the year as is the case with most evergreens. Also, be aware of other causes for leaf drop and poor plant health such as environmental conditions, cultural practices, disorders, insects or diseases.If you elect to grow citrus in your home landscape, research your choice before purchasing in order to fully understand what is needed to keep the plants healthy and attractive. Look for citrus that are cold tolerant and do well in the south Georgia environment.Think in terms of native and sustainable plants in the landscape. Keep your hanging baskets and potted plants refreshed with water and food. Remember to feed and water the songbirds, and give your pets the care they need (protect them from this summer heat and humidity). Also, be on lookout for children playing and bicyclists riding along the streets and roadways throughout our communities. And remember to safely share the road with motorcycles. Drive alert and arrive alive. Don’t drive distracted or impaired, and don’t text while driving. Help the homeless every chanc... (Moultrie Observer)

Ted Cruz presses the flesh at Bravo Cafe in Osceola in day before Indiana presidential primary

OSCEOLA — Ted Cruz didn’t touch the baklava or blueberry pie at the Bravo Café, but he did wind up individually greeting several hundred people. In a five-city sprint one-day before the Indiana primary on Tuesday, Cruz spent well over an hour at the Osceola restaurant on Lincolnway, signing books, taking selfies with customers and talking politics as he hopes to win over enough votes to upset front-runner Donald Trump in the Republican race. A table reserved for the Texas senator was adorned with red flowers, baklava and two blueberry pies, but Cruz visited every other table around it and then headed outside, where a long line of fans awaited him. Waitress Cassie Menges was called in to work by her boss for the special event and prepared a table reserved for Cruz. But the quintessential photo op of a candidate taking a bite never transpired. Related Stories Menges was OK with that. It was worth it, she said. “I still got to talk to him,” she said while clearing tables afterward. Cru... (The Elkhart Truth)
