Let’s start with the exception – the rare exception. Yes, there is in fact an Ohio native Buckthorn that need not be removed from your garden, Rhamnus alnifolia, the alder-leaved buckthorn, a small (2’ - 3’ tall), noninvasive little shrub that grows in fens or low, damp areas with calciferous soil across the northern US and southern Canada.
Read MoreIf you encounter non-native buckthorn in your garden, you truly must remove it – that’s a WHEN, not an IF. And the sooner, the better, or your neighbors will hate you! Once it is gone, you will probably want something else to take its place.

Read MoreUp until a few days ago my Lenten roses were wondering if we were really going to have a winter after all. I suspect they are not thinking that anymore! Although our gardening is focused indoors for the time being, I am thinking about what annual seeds to order, what new native perennials I might try to grow and catching up on great documentaries.

It’s that time of the year, dear friends – the time when flowers are everywhere…in catalogues. But we can still plan for floral pleasure in the darkest days of the year. Martha Marsh sent me an email on Christmas; honeybees are mobbing her Helleborus niger, the Christmas rose. In my garden, being hit by ice pellets as I write, three of my Hamamelis are in full and fragrant bloom.
Read MoreAt our October 31st meeting, Jane Ellison told us about invasive plants that have no nutritional value for birds - like Halloween candy! The next day, the monthly publication came from Summit County Master Gardeners highlighting the native shrub Ilex verticicllata, Winterberry holly, and its wonderful nutritional value.
Read MoreWith this article, your Nature in my Backyard program begins a series of articles on the worst invasive non-native plants that are common in our northeast Ohio residential gardens, and appropriate native plants with which they should be replaced. Our inaugural article celebrates a recent triumph against one of the worst invaders, the Callery Pear, which crowds native trees out of our local forests.
