1 Catalog of Trees and Shrubs The following plant species were installed in 1981 as specified by the Landscape Architect. Plant Finder Missouri Botanical Garden Look up, view a photo and read about the over 6,800 plants which are growing or have been grown in the Kemper Center display gardens (plus selected additions) by scientific name, common name and/or selected plant characteristics Working with Trees and Shrubs The continued restoration of Deep Run would not be complete without the replacement of the over grown landscape material provided by the developer in Caution should be used when considering the use of the Bradford Pear or White Pine trees that have been removed from the property. You are invited to research these species and determine why they should not be restored. Alternatives to Bradford, Callery pears: Aesculus pavia Red buckeye Red buckeye is a clump-forming shrub or small tree that typically grows tall. Showy 4-10 long panicles of red to orange-red tubular flowers appear in spring and attract hummingbirds. Shiny, dark green leaves are attractive in spring and early summer, but usually begin to decline by August. Seeds are poisonous and are avoided by most wildlife. August 4,

2 Magnolia tripetala Umbrella tree The long, shiny green leaves (24" long and to 10" wide) of this deciduous magnolia appear in whorl-like clusters at the stem tips, purportedly resembling the spokes of an umbrella. It is a small (30' tall) understory tree that is often multi-trunked. Large, malodorous but showy, creamy white flowers (6-10" across) bloom in spring shortly after the leaves emerge. Flowers are followed by cone-like pink fruits that ripen in fall August 4,

3 Cladrastis kentukea Yellowwood Excellent, lowmaintenance, small shade tree (30-50' tall) for residential lawns, particularly on smaller properties. The roots go deep, so other plants may be easily grown underneath. It features intensely fragrant, wisterialike, white flowers in clusters 10-15" long that virtually cover a mature tree in late spring. Good yellow fall color. August 4,

They create a mess, dropping leaves and twigs that must be swept regularly to keep the area around the tree neat. Due to the tree's brittle wood, branches also break and drop off easily during rough weather. The roots are invasive and can clog pipes, lift sidewalks, and invade lawns. Young suckers may emerge at the base of the tree or above roots. In fact, the Missouri Botanical Garden states that Lombardy poplar is not a good landscape tree. August 4,
