Gulf bluestem (Schizachyrium maritimum Chapman (Nash [Poaceae]), is considered to be the most important species of bluestem grass on the Gulf of Mexico and occurs primarily on dunes, beaches, and coastal swales (Craig 1991). Following the formation of a more seaward ridge, gulf bluestem replaces sea oats (Uniola paniculata L. [Poaceae]) on the newly protected primary ridge within 2 to17 years (Johnson 1997). This plant is a candidate for beach projects requiring planting on the back side of a primary dune, or any side of secondary dunes, or for commercial or home landscapes. This prostrate or creeping perennial spreads by long stolons and is easily distinguished by glaucous leaves, prostrate growth habit, and terminal inflorescences with stalked spikelets from 4.0 to 6.5 mm (0.15 to 0.26 in) (Clewell 1985). This document is ENH974, one of a series of the Environmental Horticulture Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Caladiums [Caladium bicolor (Ait.) Vent., syn. Caladiumxhortulanum Birdsey, Araceae Juss.] are tropical foliage plants possessing diversity of leaf colors and shapes found in few cultivated plants. 'Florida Blizzard' is derived from a cross between the popular white heart-shaped leaf caladium cultivars 'Aaron' and 'White Christmas', initially was evaluated in 1993 as GC93-715. This document is ENH963, one of a series of the Environmental Horticulture Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Stolon production by strawberry plants in Florida fruiting fields is highly undesirable. Stolons (runners) act as a sink for photosynthates and nutrients, reducing the amount of resources available for fruit production in an annual hill production system. The presence of stolons makes it more difficult for pickers to find berries among the excess vegetation. Hence, manual labor must be used to remove runners in the fruiting field at a cost of $40 to $60 per acre. If a low-cost chemical means could be found to reduce or eliminate runner production in the fruiting field, producers would benefit greatly. This document is HS989, one of a series of the Horticultural Sciences Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida. Original publication date July 30, 2004.
