In this issue, we explore conifers offering vast combinations of texture, color and height to meet a variety of landscape needs. Also inside is an update on leafy gall, caused by the bacterium Rhodococcus, which afflicts annuals, herbaceous perennials, and woody broadleaf plants. Check out the 2018 Farwest Show recap, which includes a list of the award winners and a summary of all the action on the show floor.

In this issue:

  • Ground cover conifers: Conifers grow with such variation of habit that even of the low-growing types provide a diverse mix of solutions.
  • Farwest Show 2018 recap: Thousands of attendees flooded the Farwest trade show floor and took notes at the educational seminars. Award ribbons were presented and glasses raised in good cheer as this year’s successful show came to a close.
Columns:
  • A favorite ‘holiday’: President’s Message by Josh Zielinski
  • No sanctuary from anger: Directors Desk by Jeff Stone
  • When the well runs dry: Pivot Points with Ian Doescher
Growing Knowledge, an ongoing series provided by Oregon State University in collaboration with the USDA and in partnership with OAN.
  • Treating and tracking the intractable Rhodococcus: Leafy gall is caused by the bacterium Rhodococcus, which afflicts annuals, herbaceous perennials, and woody broadleaf plants.
