Wind and Trees: Surveys of Tree Damage in the Florida Panhandle after Hurricanes Erin and Opal

Mary L. Duryea

This document summarizes the results of surveys conducted after Hurricanes Erin and Opal in 1995, which assessed tree damage in the Florida Panhandle. It ranks the wind resistance of various tree species, highlighting that species like dogwood, live oak, and sabal palm showed high wind resistance, while species like sand pine and Carolina laurelcherry were less resistant. The findings emphasize the importance of selecting wind-resistant trees for hurricane-prone areas and suggest that proper tree care and maintenance can mitigate damage. First published: May, 1997.

Landscape Mulches: How quickly do they settle?

Mary L. Duryea and Patrick J. Minogue

This study compares the settling rates of six landscape mulches in Florida: cypress, eucalyptus, melaleuca, pine-bark, pine-straw, and utility-pruning mulch. Over two years, pine-straw settled the most, reducing to nearly nothing, while melaleuca settled the least, maintaining most of its original depth. The study highlights the importance of mulch replenishment to maintain benefits like weed control and soil moisture retention. The findings suggest melaleuca, pine-bark, and cypress as superior choices for long-term mulch effectiveness. First published October 1999.

Managing Oaks to Produce Food for Wildlife

Holly K. Ober and Patrick J. Minogue

Describes the reasons homeowners should consider planting oaks, how to select the right oak species for a given site, and how to improve wildlife habitat in established stands. Includes sources of additional information.

A Native Growing Season Forage for Wildlife—Teaweed, Sida acuta Burm. f.

Rick Williams, Tim Baxley and Pat Minogue

Teaweed has been a problem plant in agriculture, but our research has found that this plant has many good qualities as a wildlife food source. Anyone interested in growing plants that benefit native wildlife, especially white-tailed deer, turkeys and quail, can improve wildlife habitat by managing native plants. How does managing native plants improve the forage quality on your property? For example, to reach optimum body size and full antler growth, white-tailed deer require at least 16% protein in the plants they consume. The plants discussed in this paper all meet or exceed that minimum required protein level for white-tailed deer growth and development.

Identification and Control of Coral Ardisia (Ardisia crenata): A Potentially Toxic Plant

B. A. Sellers, S. F. Enloe, Patrick Minogue, and J. Walter

Coral ardisia, also known as coral berry, spice berry, and scratchthroat, was introduced to Florida in the early 1900's for ornamental purposes. Since then, it has escaped cultivation, and it is found in hardwood hammocks and other moist, natural-wooded areas and grazing lands. Although there is no published literature supporting the theory that coral ardisia is toxic, it is suspected that the berries and/or foliage are poisonous to livestock, pets, and humans.

Tung Oil Production in Florida

Patrick J. Minogue

Tung tree seed produce an oil that is valuable in wood finishing and for various other uses. Development of a later-flowering tung tree cultivar has sparked renewed interest in tung seed as a potential alternative crop for northern and central Florida on sites having relatively well-drained, fertile soils and adequate moisture. This fact sheet presents a history of tung oil production in Florida and provides the ecology and cultivation of the fast-growing trees. It outlines a plan for additional research to determine whether tung oil could again be produced in Florida.

Controlling Invasive Plants in North Florida Forests

Chris Demers, Patrick J. Minogue, Michael G. Andreu, Alan J. Long, andRick Williams

Early detection and removal of invasive plants is the key to successful management. This publication describes many of the current methods used to manage some of the more common and troublesome invasive exotic plants in north Florida forests. These pest species may occur in established forest stands or when establishing new plantations. Consult the sources referenced in this paper for additional details about these and other methods.
