False rosemary (Conradina canescens Gray [Lamiaceae]) is common to coastal areas of west Florida and is known to contribute to beach mouse habitat. This species can be considered a drought-tolerant landscape plant. Coastal homeowners interested in diminished water and fertilizer application may consider the use of false rosemary in landscapes of coastal developments. This document is Fact Sheet ENH 973, from the Environmental Horticulture Department and the Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Extreme Cold

Freezing is one of the easiest, most convenient and least time-consuming ways to prepare foods at home. Freezing does not sterilize food; the extreme cold simply retards growth of microorganisms and slows down changes that affect quality or cause spoilage in food. Properly frozen fruits will retain much of their fresh flavor and nutritive value. Their texture, however, may be somewhat softer than that of fresh fruit. This document is Fact Sheet FCS 8767, a series of the Department of Family, Youth and Community Sciences, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Angelonia is a popular warm-season annual that has a renewed interest for growers and consumers due to the development of several new cultivars. It is excellent for use in the landscape and in large containers, and is becoming more popular for cut flower use. Known as the summer snapdragon, this plant does best in warm climates, is drought tolerant, and really shines when snapdragons and other spring annuals begin to wither. Older varieties vary in performance. Most are treated as annuals, but in all Florida zones they can be perennial if the winter is mild. This document is ENH 877, one of a series of the Environmental Horticulture Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

The Right

Choosing a rootstock is an important decision. It should be carefully considered because the decision is a relatively permanent one and, therefore, has long-term significance. The steps in choosing a rootstock may not always be obvious, but there are several factors that traditionally have been important.  Some of the steps and factors involved are described in this publication in a generalized approach to selecting the best rootstocks for your conditions. Use this fact sheet as as a handy check-off form when preparing to select rootstocks. This document is HS932, one of a series of the Horticultural Sciences Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

This popular cultivar of glossy abelia is a fine-textured, semi-evergreen, small shrub with 1.5-inch-long, red-tinged leaves arranged along thin, stiff stems (Figure 1). Leaves and flowers are smaller than the species. It is much more compact than the species, resembling the Japanese or yaupon hollies. Considered to be evergreen in its southern range, glossy abelia will lose some of its leaves in colder climates, the remaining leaves taking on a more pronounced red color. Reaching a height of 3 to 6 feet with a spread of 6 to 10 feet, the mounded form of 'Sherwoodii' glossy abelia is clothed from spring through fall with terminal clusters of delicate pink and white, small, tubular flowers.

Japanese maple (Figure 1) has a height and spread of about 20 feet, but there are much smaller selections available. The multiple trunks are muscular-looking, picturesque, grey and show nicely when lit up at night. Japanese maple is grown for its green or red colored leaves, interesting growth habit and fine leaf texture. Fall color ranges from bright yellow through orange and red and is often striking, even on trees grown in total shade. Growth habit varies widely depending on cultivar from globose, branching to the ground to upright, vase-shaped. The globose selections look best when they are allowed to branch to the ground. Be sure to clear all turf away from beneath the branches of these low growing types so the lawn mower will not damage the tree. The more upright selections make nice patio or small shade trees for residential lots, and, with pruning to remove drooping branches, provide adequate clearance for pedestrian traffic to pass close to the tree. More compact cultivars make wonderful accents for any landscape. This document is Fact Sheet FPS-10, one of a series of the Environmental Horticulture Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.
