jh hudson on EXOTICS + [Fwd: What say you?]



also wanted to pipe in that my favorite & most succinct position paper on the
subject is to be found in the backpages of the JH Hudson seed catalogue written
by the operator of the seed company.  The catalogue explicitly states that
nothing in the catalogue is to be distributed via internet (which I respect) but
Id like to point of any of you not familiar with this writing to check it out.

Weekly NMPRO e-mail for August 29, 2000
Your update on what’s happening in the nursery industry.
Compiled by Todd Davis, Editor

* Did you notice the new name at the top of this week’s newsletter? 
Todd Davis has been named editor of NMPRO. He had formerly been 
assistant editor of NMPRO and GMPRO. Davis replaces David 
Morgan, who resigned. Since joining Branch-Smith Publishing, Davis 
has conducted interviews at more than 230 nursery and greenhouse 
growing facilities, garden centers and research arboreta in 37 states, 
Canada and Holland. He is a Texas Certified Nursery Professional.

* While we were at FarWest last weekend, we learned that Internat’l. 
Garden Products acquired Briggs Nursery in Olympia, Wash. IGP has 
acquired 8 hort companies including Iseli Nursery, Weeks Nursery and 
Skagit Gardens. Briggs Nursery and IGP were in negotiations for 2 
years. Bruce Briggs, NMPRO Grower of the Year for 1999, who died 
in Feb., was in favor of the business action, said his wife Doris. IGP, 
(973) 386-1776.

* More FarWest news: Glassy-winged sharpshooter was discovered at 
an Oregon nursery last week. John Aguirre, OAN exec. director, 
expected a quarantine would go into effect this week. "We’re in favor 
of prudent measures so that the insect doesn’t become established in 
Oregon,." he said. Calif. growers already are battling the pest, which 
vectors Pierce’s disease. OAN, (800) 342-6401.

* The federal Invasive Species Council will publish a draft of its Nat’l. 
Invasive Species Mgmt. Plan next month, but call for a 60-day public 
comment period before the report is finalized. Gordon Brown, invasive 
species coordinator, said the delay is intended "as a way of securing 
greater stakeholder input." The council was established by executive 
order Feb. 3, 1999, and given 18 months to prepare and issue the plan 
to make recommendations and outline specific measures for federal 
efforts concerning invasive species of plants and animals. "We’ll be 
late, but the public input will assure a better product," Brown said.

* Following Nebraska’s lead, Virginia has declared purple loosestrife a 
noxious weed. Sale or transport of Lythrum salicaria and L. virgatum, 
including all hybrids and cultivars, is now illegal. According to Va. 
Dept. of Ag., loosestrife is already widespread throughout the state and 
the legislative action is designed to prevent new infestations. (804) 786-
2373.

* An Asian aphid recently discovered in soybean fields in Wisconsin, 
Northern Illinois and Southern Michigan could present problems to the 
nursery industry. The insect’s host range is unknown, especially 
regarding horticultural crops, said Raymond Cloyd, Univ. of Ill. ext. 
specialist. He’s heard no complaints from nursery growers, but the 
aphid is known to overwinter in the egg stage on Rhamnus davuricus. 
Many natural predators of the pest have been discovered in soybean 
fields. rcloyd@uiuc.edu
