Sortiment possibilities for green forms, by P. Goossens, BSc
In recent years, the Proefcentrum voor Sierteelt (PCS) in Destelbergen, Belgium, regularly received questions about the application of evergreen topiary shrubs (hedges, columns, clouds and spherical forms), both from the production sector and the green space industry. Themes that mainly came up were control of problematic diseases and pests and species selection according to site conditions. This article looks at the choice of species and discusses the insights gained by the PCS after research.
Helwingia – Sortiment overview, by ir. J.J.C. Janssen
The genus Helwingia is named after the German preacher and botanist Georg Andreas Helwing (1666-1748). Von Siebold introduced Helwingia japonica to the Netherlands in 1830. For a long time, this was the only known species. The shrub is notable for the anomalous arrangement of its flowers, also called bloom-on-leaf. This article gives an overview of the assortment.
