KNLA Announces

Two New Events!

Nurs ery Views • Spri ng 2015

H

ello! I hope everyone is having a busy and profitable season. It was so nice to see so many of you this past winter at our education conference and expo! We are excited to announce some significant changes that will take place with our schedule of events this year.

Our board, exhibitors, and attendees have realized that real changes need to take place for our main trade show, previously held in the winter, to survive and thrive. This coming year, the convention center in downtown Louisville will be under construction, thus unavailable to us. Also, there are so many winter trade shows, we were in constant competition with other states’ events. We were also somewhat at the mercy of the dates the convention center could offer us because of other scheduled events. This forced some potential exhibitors to choose which state show to attend. In short, we felt that we needed to put some sanity into our tradeshow(s), both for our exhibitors and to attract a more robust crowd of attendees.

In January, a task force was created to address the future of our expo and education seminars. Chaired

by Kim Fritz (KNLA’s vice president), task force members — Tom Weeks, Jeff Moore, Dr. Bob McNiel, Wes King, Brent Grunfeld, Michael Mueller, Betsie Taylor and I — spent considerable time this year overhauling our summer and winter meetings. This was a grueling task, and I want to thank them for their work on this matter. We also canvassed some of our exhibitors and want to thank them for their valuable input.

So, ladies and gentlemen, I now want to present to you the results of those many hours, surveys and site visits.

Our summer show (replacing our traditional winter show) is now called KNLA’s Summer Retreat – Leadership Forum and Marketplace, which will be held in Lexington on September 1–2, 2015, at the Embassy Suites, adjacent to the University of Kentucky Agriculture area. The hotel is extremely nice, with a great outdoor space for our Marketplace. This new two-day event will include seminars geared toward

4

management and business as well as plants and landscape design, with the intent of attracting qualified buyers. The Retreat will also include KNLA’s new Marketplace expo, now our major tradeshow of the year. The Marketplace has expanded to two days and offers ample room for exhibitors to display equipment, plants, mulches, irrigation, pavers/rock and many other items. Please plan on joining us for our fun-filled education and Marketplace!

Our annual winter meeting is now called KNLA’s Spring Training & Showplace and will be held on January 27–28, 2016, at the totally renovated Ramada Plaza Hotel and Conference Center off of Hurstbourne Lane in Louisville. This meeting will feature seminars geared towards crew academy, plant production and management. It will also include pesticide classes for those wanting to obtain a pesticide license and for those needing CEUs to maintain their pesticide license.

Also classes and CEUs for arborists and for landscape architects will be offered at both events. We will have an exhibit area, and we will continue to offer the Kentucky Certified Nursery Examination.

This past year saw a 15% increase in attendance at our educational program. 70% of these participants came from Louisville and nearby surrounding counties.

This high percentage was a determining factor in keeping our winter meeting in Louisville. Dr. McNiel has done a wonderful job in coordinating the seminars and acquiring interesting and informative speakers. It is a daunting task to put together such a program with three concurrent sessions, for two days. We all want to thank Dr. McNiel for his tireless efforts! We also would like to thank our other two education advisors for their volunteerism and expertise — Dr. Dewayne Ingram and Dr. Win Dunwell. Dr. Dunwell also is the chairman of our Kentucky Certified Nurseryman’s exam, an incredible undertaking.

The KNLA board and I encourage each of you to support both cutting-edge and dynamic programs!

Martin Korfhage 2014-2015 KNLA President

Smaller Selections of

Oakleaf Hydrangea

Nurs ery Views • Spri ng 2015

H

ydrangea quercifolia (oakleaf hydrangea) species and cultivars were selected as one of Kentucky’s Theodore Klein Plant Award winners in 1999. H. q. is a native of the southeastern United States. Although it’s not on the NRCS Plants Database map for Kentucky, Ronald L. Jones includes it in his book Plant Life of Kentucky as a “to be expected” plant, but an observation in the wild has not been published.

Hydrangea quercifolia can be a large and sometimes rangy plant, leading to a desire for smaller selections. Smaller selections have been made: most notably, H. q. ‘Ruby Slippers’ and H. q. ‘Munchkin’

by Sandy Reed, retired breeder (USDA — McMinnville, TN). In addition, H. q.

‘Pee Wee’, an earlier blooming variety, has done well in Kentucky landscapes, as has a yellow-foliage variant of it, Little Honey™ (‘Brihon’, PP15,477).

These smaller cultivars were selected for the 2014 Theodore Klein Plant Award.

They are frequently advertised as 3' by 3' in size, but most of the cultivars mentioned in this article have been known to continue to grow larger than stated (but smaller than the species).

The bloom is smaller than standard Hydrangea quercifolia but showy all the same.

‘Munchkin’, a seedling from openpollinated H. q. ‘Sikes Dwarf’, is 3' tall by 4.5' wide at 9 years. It blooms early in the season for the species, and its flowers

10

open white and then turn pink with age.

‘Ruby Slippers’, the result of hybridization of oakleaf hydrangea cultivars Snow Queen® and ‘Pee Wee’, is 3.5' tall by 5' wide at 7 years (4' to 5' tall x 6' wide at 12 years) and, like the others, opens white but quickly turns pink and darkens to rose.

‘Sike’s Dwarf’ Hydrangea was introduced

by Louisiana Nursery and has been grown in Kentucky landscapes. Open-pollinated seedling selections have been made from it and crossed with other oakleaf hydrangeas to get a small stature and good foliage into newer cultivars.

Propagation Oakleaf hydrangeas are propagated by seed, cuttings, tissue culture and division.

“…We usually take softwood cuttings in June. While preparing the cuttings, we use scissors (not clippers) and cut half or more of the foliage off (1) to reduce top weight and (2) to allow better mist circulation around the entire cutting. We found that scissors made a good clean cut and was less tiring on the hands than using clippers. Both sides of the cutting is wounded, then dipped in a quick dip of 2500 KIBA. Our prop mix is 100% bark, and we typically use an 18-cell tray.

We use a fogging system from early daylight to almost dusk. This has proven to work well because the bark does not get over saturated and cause stem rot, but enough mist to keep the leaves from drying out, usually about 95% to 98% Hydrangea quercifolia ‘Ruby Slippers’.

humidity. Once the roots start forming, we move out of fog and use intermittent mist.” (Sandy Reed and Donna Fare, personal communication).

Michael Dirr (2004) recommends propagation through single-node cuttings, taken in the morning, 1000 ppm KIBA (“any commercial rooting hormone will work”). In the Manual of Woody Landscape Plants, Dirr says, “Our standard procedure is firm, woody cuttings in May, June and into September, 5000 ppm KIBA dip, well-drained medium, either all perlite or 3 perlite:1 peat, intermittent mist, 4 to 6 weeks rooting time.” Avoid over-

wetting the media or using media that has high water retention.

Boxwood Blight on the

Radar for Nursery Growers

By Nicole Ward Gauthier, Ph.D. Extension Plant Pathologist, University of Kentucky

Nurs ery Views • Spri ng 2015

H

appy spring and summer, nursery growers!

As the weather has warmed, my email box has been blasted with questions on boxwood blight, which is a disease of boxwood (Buxus spp.), causing rapid defoliation and plant dieback. This fungal disease is particularly devastating to American boxwood cultivars, which can defoliate within a week and die within one growing season.

Plants are eventually weakened by repeated defoliation and dieback, and resulting plant stress and consequent colonization by secondary invaders result in plant death.

This fact sheet should help answer any questions you may have: http://www2. ca.uky.edu/agcollege/plantpathology/ext_ files/PPFShtml/PPFS-OR-W-20.pdf.

Remember, if you suspect boxwood blight in your nursery, contact your county agent ASAP for help with sample submission and disease confirmation. The entire UK Extension team will work closely with you for disease management and eradication.

More disease-related pubs can be found on the UK Plant Pathology webpage at http://www2.ca.uky.edu/agcollege/plant pathology/extension/pubs.html#Ornamental Woody. Feel free to copy this information and distribute it to your customers.

Follow my Facebook page for up-todate alerts and seasonal information www.KYPlantDisease.com. 2 Photo 1. Early symptoms of boxwood blight include leaf spots, but because leaf drop occurs soon afterward, this phase often goes unnoticed.

Photo 2. Dark stem lesions are one of the most distinguishing symptoms of boxwood blight.

Photo 3. Defoliation of the lower plant canopy is often the first obvious symptom of boxwood blight.

News from the kda

Take Advantage of KDA’s Cost-Share Grants to

Cut Your Business Expenses and Expand Your Options!

By Joshua Lindau, Horticulture Marketing Specialist, Kentucky Department of Agriculture

T

his past March marked the beginning of my third year at the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, and as many of you already know, I am the administrator for the Kentucky Horticulture Grants.

For the last two years, the Kentucky Horticulture Council Grants have NOT been fully exhausted, and I want make sure that you are aware that these cost-share programs are available to Kentucky Proud members whose primary business is horticulture. Below are all of the grants available for 2015 through Kentucky Proud and the Kentucky Horticulture Council; both were made possible by funding from the Agriculture Development Board.

The Kentucky Horticultural Council continues to support the horticultural efforts in the Commonwealth for 2015 with three grant programs, each with a $1,250 maximum benefit for the 2015 calendar year. There is also a Kentucky Proud promotional grant worth up to $12,000 currently available to those who qualify.

Please note that the $5,000 lifetime cap on the Kentucky Horticulture Council Grants HAS BEEN REMOVED, so if you previously had maxed out, you are now eligible to participate again. Below I have listed each grant and how you may be eligible.

Advertising Cost-Share Grants

Market Development Cost-Share Grants

The 2015 Kentucky Horticulture Council Market Development Cost-Share Program is a reimbursement program for producers in the horticulture industry. This grant may be used to learn new marketing techniques, become aware of marketing trends, create and develop new markets as well as expand old ones, create opportunities to network and make new contacts in the marketplace. Eligibility for reimbursement under this program includes, but is not limited to, the following horticultural-related items: registration fees for conferences, seminars and educational workshops; booth fees for exhibiting at tradeshows; tours of horticultural facilities and wholesale agents; and other market development avenues with specific pre-approval.

Under this program, participants are eligible to receive up to 100% of your registration fee for any appropriate conference or educational opportunity. (All activities are subject to approval, and college credit courses are not included in this program.)

You must match the fee cost with your travel expenses (mileage, meal per diem, lodging, etc.) for attending the educational opportunity. No purchases at the conference will count toward your match (speaker recordings, books, DVDs, etc.).

The most you may receive under this program is $1,250 for the granting year, which is on a calendar basis.

Third-Party GAP Cost-Share Grants The 2015 Kentucky Horticulture Council Third Party GAP Audit Cost-Share is available to any Kentucky producer who is a Kentucky Proud member completing a third-party Good Agricultural Practices audit. This cost share is 50%, with a maximum reimbursement of $1,250 for 2015.

Funds are limited for 2015; pre-approval is strongly encouraged, but not required.

Kentucky Proud Promotional Grant

The 2015 Kentucky Proud Promotional Grant reimburses up to half of eligible expenses for advertising, marketing and reaching consumers at the point of purchase to promote Kentucky Proud products with direct Kentucky farm impact. The maximum for this is up to $12,000 in 12 months, based on 10% of direct Kentucky farm impact. For more information on this grant visit: http:// www.kyagr.com/marketing/documents/ KYP_GrantApplication.pdf

Summary To be able to participate in any of these programs you must be a Kentucky Proud member. It is free to join and can be done at http://www.kyproud.com/register/ index.aspx.

I look forward to helping answer any of your questions or directing you to someone who can. You can reach me at joshua.lindau@ky.gov or 502-782-4115. 2
