ANGELICA(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Angelica, Angelica archangelica L., is a herbaceous, aromatic herb native to Eurasia and commercially cultivated in Belgium, Germany, France, and several other countries.
The reported life zone of angelica is 5 to 19°C with an annual precipitation of 0.5 to 1.3 meters and a soil pH of 4.5 to 7.3 (4.1-31).
As flavoring agents, roots and seeds of angelica are widely used in alcoholic liqueurs such as benedictine and chartreuse, and in gin and vermouth.
Deciduous trees like maples (those that loose their leaves in the fall) can be dug up and sold with their bare roots exposed.
If the tree seedling does not have branches, allow it to grow to the desired height of branching then pinch it back to stimulate the lower buds to form branches.
Trees that are grown in containers generally do not loose roots in the transplanting phase.
elata, the Japaneseangelicatree, grows in mild districts in Britain.

Trees that are grown in containers generally do not loose roots in the transplanting phase.
Dig out an area for the tree that is about 3 or 4 times the diameter of the container or rootball and the same depth as the container or rootball.
It also has the prettier name of angelicatree or Japaneseangelicatree, because the shape of its divided leaves is reminiscent of angelica.
The aralia is a very desirable tree and much sought after, though it is expensive because it is difficult to propagate.
In either the green form or the variegated forms, the tree is outstanding for its large leaves, which can be more than one metre long, and the way they are held in horizontal layers.
A fast growing, deciduous tree to 75 feet, native to China, we beleive it to be hardy to zone 8.

-- The Japanese Stewartia (Stewartia pseudocamellia) is one of those small trees (or branched shrubs, depending on growth habit) that is ideal for a focal point in the landscape or near a patio.

The beetle can seriously harm the health of trees and even kill them when present in large enough numbers.
While the beetle can seriously harm the health of pine trees, and even kill them, it can be easily managed in Christmas tree plantations and nurseries.
The beetles, first found in Cleveland, Ohio, and believed to have entered the country in ships carrying infested dunnage, were found recently in some counties in the northern part of the state.
I am blessed with a neighbour,who has one of these wonderful trees....it does sucker but it is easily controllable and very well worth any work.
The canopy it creates is so beautiful....and its thorns are a real conversation piece.....the whole tree seems like it should be in mountains of the orient....
I was thinking of planting it on my front lawn, we are on a farm so it will have lots of room to spread.
Tropical-Looking Trees and Shrubs(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Many varieties of trees and shrubs are valuable in a tropicalesque garden for their tropical-looking foliage, flowers, or general habit.
Some trees and shrubs are fully hardy, yet add a tropical aura to a landscape.
Certain trees and shrubs that have been traditionally grown in warmer areas, such as the southern United States, are hardier than commonly thought, and are worth trying in a colder climate to achieve a tropical look.
It is deciduous and often has suckers at the base of the tree.
I've finally resorted to cutting the stems, and using a truck to pull the stumps out whole.
This tree is a vile weed, with thorns sharp enough and long enough to peirce leather work gloves, and a foul smell, similar to "tree-of-heaven." Once the giant bi-compound leaves fall, the stems look like midevil tourture devices.
