Southsider NEWS & NOTES Valley View Ferry cutting weekend service Beginning in July, the Valley View Ferry will no longer operate on weekends and will cut weekday operations by two hours, operating from 6 a.m. – 6 p.m. Mon. – Fri. The ferry shuttles vehicles, under 24 feet long and under 24 tons of total weight, across the Kentucky River at Tates Creek Road at the Fayette, Jessamine and Madison County lines. The ferry is a free service and operates with funding from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, the fiscal courts of Madison and Jessamine counties, and the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government. Citing a shortage of qualified operators, the Valley View Ferry Authority, which manages the ferry, said the reduction in hours was the result of one of the vessel’s two full-time captains resigning. Once the organization is back to full staff, the regular hours could resume.

Locally produced film “Red River Moon” gets encore presentation The locally produced movie “Red River Moon,” written and directed by Bruce Barnett, will have a July encore screening after the sold-out world premiere at the Kentucky Theater in June. The film is about a group of children who get lost in the Red River Gorge. Barnett began writing the script for the movie in 2007.

The Valley View Ferry is the oldest year-round (save for Christmas Day) ferry service in the country and the last remaining ferry on the K entucky River. The ferry was founded seven years before Kentucky became a state, and its charter was signed by Virginia Governor Patrick Henry in 1785. The current boat’s name, the “John Craig,” was the name of the franchise’s original owner, and dates to 1996.

Local SCAPA students Virginia Newsome and Maizie Barrett play two of the lead roles in the film.

When the ferry is not operating, the suggested alternate route between Nicholasville and Richmond is US 27 to Lancaster in Garrard County, then KY 52 to Richmond. The suggested alternate route between Lexington and Richmond is Interstate 75.

The encore presentation of “Red River Moon” is at 8 p.m. July 9 in the Kentucky Theater. Special musical performances are scheduled to begin at 7 p .m. Tickets are $5, and those wishing to attend should consider purchasing tickets in advance at www.kentuckytheater.com.

Transportation officials hear public input on Brannon Road improvements A crowd gathered at Southland Christian Church to offer feedback and hear possible safety improvements from officials from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet for Brannon Road on June 20. The state Transportation Cabinet began the Brannon Road Project Design and Environmental Studies in late January of this year. The purpose of the project, according to a press release, is to improve the safety of Brannon Road. Items for the study include improving the geometry of the road, widening the pavement and shoulder width and eliminating roadside hazards. Brannon Road runs about 3 miles and connects US 27 and US 68. The Brannon Crossing shopping center, located at Brannon Road and Nicholasville Road, attracts more vehicular traffic as the commercial area continues to grow.

Along with featuring the Red River Gorge area, Barnett wanted to showcase what he considers another unique characteristic of Kentucky, her music. Many local and regional musicians’ work is used in “Red River Moon,” such as Carla Gover, Tripp Bratton and John Rose.

Jessie Clark boys run down state track-and-field championship The Jessie Clark boys’ track-and-field team captured the 2013 championship at the KTCCCA Middle School State Meet on May 25 with Thomas Hill, Doug Burris and Keegan Gassett leading the way. Hill was the overall winner in the 1600-meter run and runner-up in the 800 meters. Burris was the 3200-meters champion, while Gassett was second in the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes. Hill and Burris teamed with Bobby Payne and Trevor Paskovics to win the 4×800 relay. A few days earlier, Jessie Clark secured the Fayette County Middle School Track and Field Championship.

FOR HOST FAMILIES, THE FIFTH THIRD TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIPS IS ALL ABOUT â&#x20AC;&#x153;LOVEâ&#x20AC;?

BY RENA BAER | CONTRIBUTING WRITER

hen Joanne Wallen played on the professional tennis tour, the British native travelled all over the United States. She had been on the go from the time she was a young teenager, moving to Florida with her parents so she could train at a tennis academy and play tour naments. In all those years, one place had really made an impression on her: Lexington. She had played in the Fifth Third Tennis Championships several times and had been overwhelmed by the warmth of the community, those involved with the tournament and, especially, the host families. Each year families throughout the Bluegrass open their homes to players who are trying to make it on the professional tennis circuit. The Fifth Third T ennis Championships, to be held this year July 20 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 28 at the University of Kentuckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Boone Tennis Center, attracts players from all around the world. Were it not for people opening up their doors, the cost would be prohibitive to many of them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It meant I could travel and, even more, it meant I had a home away from home during those 30 weeks on the road each year ,â&#x20AC;? said Wallen, who has since made Lexington her home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was invaluable.â&#x20AC;? Tournament housing coordinator Diane Atchison said last year she and co-coordinator Susannah Harris found housing for 110 players and officials. The two women spend countless hours making sure they find the right fit for families and players. Atchsionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home has become the Lexington satellite for Israeli players and coaches, starting with the first year she and her family hosted two players nearly 17 years ago. Having volunteered at the last minute, she had no idea who she was getting and prepared a ham salad to welcome her guests, who it tur ned out were Jewish. Word of her hospitality and kindness quickly spread among players and coaches, who make it a point to seek her out, even when they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t staying with her . Atchison also seeks them out, traveling every so often to watch them play other tournaments, which have included the U.S. Open. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has become my ministry,â&#x20AC;? Atchison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just love these kids. People think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a glamorous life, but it is a grueling life. They go from tour nament to tournament, interacting mainly with just players and coaches. This gives them time with a real family. And, since they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take their pets on the road, they love my dogs. The pictures they always want are with my mutts.â&#x20AC;? Southsider Magazine July 2013

Much like Atchison, many families enjoy hosting so much that they offer to share their homes every year during the tour nament. One Lexington resident, who is from Taiwan, keeps a standing of fer to house any players from his homeland. For the housing coordinators, his generosity has been invaluable, especially one year when a player from T aiwan spoke no English at all, said Dorothy Clark V an Meter, a former Fifth Third housing coordinator who still keeps players in her home. “He and his wife welcome these players into their home,” she said. “He speaks their language, and they provide native food and meals for them. How wonder ful is that?” Van Meter said over the years she and her family have become close to Paul Hanley, a doubles specialist from Australia who has stayed with them so many times that he calls her “Mom” and holes up at their house when he has a break between tour naments in the United States. “W e managed to find the only introvert from Australia,” Van Meter joked. And though hosts do become close with their players, others pass through with minimal disruption and inter ference, which is great for families that can provide a bedroom and breakfast but don’t have time for too much more. “The Fifth Third takes care of all the transportation, and we provided a place to stay and food for our player to snack on,” said Jenni Scutchfield, a long-time volunteer who hosted Australian player John Peers last year . “We were not put out at all.” Housing Peers gave Scutchfield, who is a competitive recreational tennis player and a huge fan of the Fifth Third, and her husband, Alex, a rooting interest Lisa Zumstein (right) in the tour nament that lasted all and traveling tennis the way to the finals, where Peers professional Michael and his partner Austin Krajicek Venus at last year’s won the doubles.

Players love coming here because of the hospitality.” For Dorothy Ross, whose job and two boys keep her on the run, housing an official the past three years has been ideal. “They are self-sufficient and fit into our life,” she said. “I lay the ground rules – don’t let the cat out – and that’s about it. We have an open-door policy in our house, and people are welcome to visit if they can stand the chaos. It’s the least I can do to give back to my community.” Both officials and players are grateful to these Lexington families, Atchison said. “I’d love to see more people get involved. Maybe they’d like to host someone from their alma mater or practice a specific language or just open their home,” she said. “It’s such a positive experience.” And when Wallen, who now manages Lexington T ennis Club, looks back, she said, “I kept in touch with a lot of these people. These are the memories I made; it was not the matches that I played.”

LOCAL CHARACTERS

nteresting people, you see them all the time – walking down the street, at the grocery store, up on stage, driving by in traffic – doing whatever it is that makes them interesting, and if you’re a curious person, you may want to know more. That’s the underlying theme for the group of people you’ll meet on the following pages. They don’t have much, if anything, in common, save for their ability to catch people’s attention, for what ever reason. They are the local characters in your neighborhood or in your community that somehow enrich others’ lives just through their personalities, antics and talents. A professional axiom I’ve always tried to maintain is that everybody has a story to tell, and it’s our job, writers’ and reporters’, to make them sound good, or at least sound entertaining. That was not a dif ficult task after talking to the people you’re about to meet, or have already met. And I hope you enjoy meeting them as much as we did.

THE ROSE LADY OF RABBIT RUN

BY ROBBIE CLARK SOUTHSIDER MAGAZINE

eeing Helena Taulbee hunched over working on her rose garden, which sports over 100 plants, has been a familiar sight for neighbors and passersby in the Rabbit Run neighbor hood for two decades. Twenty years ago, she and her husband, Roy, built their house in the thennew Lexington community. When the couple was designing the home, Helena went ahead and made the designs for the garden, which was on a smaller scale then, with only about 25 plants.

One of more than 100 rose plants in Helena Taulbee's Rabbit Run garden.

She was ready to get to work even before they moved in. “My rose garden was in the ground before we were in the house,” Taulbee said. As a fixture in the neighbor hood working on her roses, through the years many people have started stopping by regularly for advice with their own gardens. Or they just stop by to walk through her garden; T aulbee said it is a common occurrence for her to look out her window and see people walking through her rose bushes in the front yard

Taulbee’s garden yields enough blooms to give away a couple of bouquets a week. PHOTOS BY ROBBIE CLARK

(a practice she might encourage by labeling each plant with a plate indicating its variety). Taulbee retired from Paul Laurence Dunbar High School as a physics and physical sciences teacher in 2000, after which time she ran a small landscaping business taking care of clients’ rose gardens for eight years. At one time she says she was the steward of over 2,000 rose bushes, at residences and prominent horse farms. But after a couple of back sur geries to relieve arthritic symptoms, she can only focus on her garden now, which still takes up a considerable amount of time every day. “Now I’m just trying to maintain mine. I work about an hour at a time, then I walk around like a hunchback and look pretty stupid,” she said. “Then I go inside and I complain and I sweat and I go back out. “I can’t do anything about it anymore, so what can I do? I can dig it all out, or you can say that you are going to work your way through it, and I love being outside.” Taulbee says getting out and working in her garden every day (at least during the warmer seasons; in the winter and fall she nurtures her accomplished painting and sewing skills) is cathartic, no matter what the chore happens to be that day in the garden. “I enjoy going out and weeding. T o somebody else, that might be a big, horrible job, but if you don’t love it, you don’t do it,” she said. “But I enjoy going out there and kind of getting lost. I like working in good earth, to me it’s fun.” Having over a hundred rose plants at her disposal means she has a lot of blooms to deal with, which she makes good use of. Taulbee says right now she gives away about two or three bouquet of roses a week, to friends, acquaintances or whomever needs a stunning aromatic show of support. “Sometimes you just know someone is having a bad day,” she said. “If you give them a bouquet of flowers, it’s a very little thing, but it can cheer somebody up for that day, and it says, ‘Somebody is thinking about you.’ Sometimes that’s more important than anything.” Southsider Magazine July 2013

ENRIQUE GONZALEZ: AN ARTISTIC DOUBLE THREAT BY ROBBIE CLARK SOUTHSIDER MAGAZINE

itting in the hallway of the front atrium entrance of Lexington Green, Enrique Gonzalez greets people from behind his easel as they walk by. Today, he’s painting a bright hummingbird with color ful strokes. Some know the Venezuelan-born painter, and stop to catch up. Others, who may linger for a moment to watch Gonzalez working with his canvas, get swept up into an informal conversation with the jovial artist – even

though Gonzalez’s English can be dif ficult to understand, decipherable words pop out, and smiles and hand gestures make up for anything that may have been lost in translation. To Gonzalez’s right is the entrance to his new gallery space, Artique’s Painting with Enrique Gonzalez, which has been open for a little over two months. It is stacked with examples of Gonzalez’s whimsical subjects: birds, race horses at Keeneland or Churchill Downs, musicians. Although Gonzalez’s artwork is

nearly ubiquitous in Lexington homes and businesses, this is the first gallery solely dedicated to exhibiting and selling his work. The bright colors and vibrant brushstrokes the artist employs are a reflection of the tiny village where Gonzalez grew up along the Amazon River in Venezuela near the Brazilian border . As a child, Gonzalez would hunt and fish for his food, and there wasn’t much time for creative pursuits, but it was there in the jungle where, he remembers, he crafted his first pieces of art: tiny toy canoes he carved out of wood for kids in the village. “The little children wouldn’t get presents in the jungle, there is no Santa Claus,” he laughed. Art brought Gonzalez out of the jungle and into urban V enezuela, then to Miami, and ultimately to Lexington, where he has lived for nearly 20 years. When he isn’t painting at the Lexington Green gallery, he’s working in his studio in his Kenwick home, or at The Lyric Theatre, where once a month he instructs an open painting class for inter-

ested artists of all levels (next is scheduled for 6 p.m. July 25). Along with being an accomplished working artist in Lexington, Gonzalez may be just as well recognized in town for his other creative endeavor: fronting Big Maracas, a lively local band playing a variety of Latin- and Caribbean-inspired styles – salsa, mambo, rumba, tango, calypso and more (be sure to catch their Aug. 29 Thursday Night Live performance downtown, which is always a crowd favorite). Last year Gonzalez recorded his first studio album, “Love & The Amazon,” a collection of his own original music – a project he had always wanted to see through to completion. Much like his accessible artwork, Gonzalez hopes his music transcends audiences’ tastes and pleases any ear it may reach. “Music for me should make people happy – all the people,” he said. For more infor mation on Gonzalez, visit his website, www.gonzalez-art.com. Visit us online to hear a song from “Love & The Amazon.”

The car was owned by bluegrass legends Bill Monroe and Ralph Stanley, and their music has had a huge influence on Collins’ life. “We were steeped in country music and all of those old songs, but it was probably ‘Hee-Haw,’ you know, with Buck and Roy picking and grinning, that really made me want to play the banjo,” he said. At the age of 12, Collins got his first banjo and began taking lessons, a move which didn’t earn him any popularity with his peers. “I was bluegrass before bluegrass was cool.” As a young man, Collins met Dean Osborne, a cousin of the Osbourne Brothers, and the two for med a band called Eastbound. The group toured and played venues all over the world, and Collins still performs in venues in the central Kentucky area. It was a stroke of serendipity which brought Collins and his El Dorado, which he has dubbed “The Billmobile,” together, when he and his father traveled to visit relatives in the mountains near Clinchco, Va. “On a lark, we stopped in to see a cousin of my father’s, Wayne McCown, who is a car collector. He started showing us around the barns where he had all these cars, and then we came to this one bar n, and the car was there under an old tarp. As he started pulling the tarp back, he said, ‘This car was owned by Bill Monroe, and he sold it to Ralph Stanley, so this car has been owned by two bluegrass legends,” Collins said. “When I found out the history of the car, I thought, ‘This needs to be preserved, it’s just going to rot here.’” The first time Collins sat in the car , he turned on the radio and received what he considers a sign that he should pur chase the car. “I turned on the radio, and this blugrass music just blared out of the system,” he said. On a return trip to finalize the sale, Collins said he checked to see what 8-track tape was in the radio,

but there wasn’t one, and he said the radio in the car has never worked again since that day. Collins brought the car home and began researching the pedigree of the vehicle. The car was originally purchased in 1976 by James Monroe, Bill’s son, at Bob Frensley Ford in Nashville. He owned the car for several years before selling it to his father, who later sold the car to fellow musician Ralph Stanley. Collins said Stanley used the car as his personal vehicle for a number of years before selling it to his driver, who traded the Cadillac to a deal ership in Haysi, Va., where McCown purchased it then owning it for four years before selling it to Collins. “It’s been a labor of love, lear ning the history of this car,” Collins said. While the car was obviously wellmaintained and cared for, Collins has had to do some work to restore it. “It still needs a lot of work, but it’s way, way be-

yond what it was before. It’s amazing the condition it was in, to be a ’77,” he said. Collins says he has been in contact with the car’s original owner, James Monroe, and the two are working to exhibit it in the Bill Monroe Museum in Rosine, Ky.

“It’s just like a bow that tied it all together, my love of music and growing up with that music, and then having the chance to rescue this car from obscurity and keep this piece of history alive. The stars aligned and it just worked,” Collins said.

A PERMANENT PLACE TO PARK

MANY LOCAL MOBILE FOOD OPERATORS ARE FINDING HOMES IN BRICK AND MORTAR RESTAURANTS BY DAN DICKSON CONTRIBUTING WRITER

hile Lexington of ficials finalize the details of its food truck pilot program, some of these gastronomical entrepreneurs are also taking their delicious food of ferings into their own brick and mortar establishments. La Petite Creperie first showed up at the downtown Lexington Farmers’ Market in 2010 and at special events. From under a tent, the “crepe ladies” serve simple, traditional crepes. They’re either sweet, like with banana, chocolate or cinnamon, or stuffed full of ham, eggs, cheese or vegetables. “It’s unbelievable. We just have long lines all the time,” said Shannon Ar nold, who operates the mobile business. In late June, Ar nold and business partner Linda Chambers opened a La Petite Creperie restaurant on Kentucky Avenue across from W oodland Park, in what was most recently Six Friends Cafe. Arnold and Chambers taught French at The Lexington School or Sayre and spent time in Paris. “In France, I ate a lot of (crepes) because they’re ‘student, budget friendly.’ You could get a pretty nice meal fast for a few bucks,” Ar nold said. “They’d cook right in front of you and you’d walk away with them. Easy, quick and cheap.” “I’m French and came here 10 years ago with a family restaurant background,” added Chambers, who admits to needing time to get comfortable with American food and culture before opening a restaurant. “I wanted to introduce the French casual experience to Lexington. French food is often thought of as sophisticated, expensive and slow, but there’s also a French culture of casual eating. I drove around Lexington for years to find a patio that reminded me of patios in France. We found this house, bought it and tur ned it into a restaurant,” Chambers said. The crepe ladies plan to continue the mobile portion of their business.

(Above) Toa Green, owner of the Thai Orchid Cafe restaurant, started a mobile food enterprise to serve her artisan ice cream streetside. (Left) Tim and Tracy Latham opened a Tnt BBQ restaurant in a space they share with fellow food truck operator Lincoln Ogata, of Ogata’s Hawaiian Grill.

Another outdoor cook who’s coming indoors is Ilias Pappas, who’s operated the Athenian Grill food truck at various sites since last fall. His restaurant is scheduled to open in late August in the for mer location of Belle’s Bakery on South Ashland Avenue.

Food Truck Pilot Program Gets a Green Light On June 20, the Urban County Council unanimously approved the Food Truck Pilot Program, a six-month initiative that will allow food truck operators to use public parking spaces in designated zones downtown. The city’s Food Truck Work Group first started discussing the proposed ordinance over six months ago. Under the program, food truck operators may use public parking spaces within six downtown zones to set up shop for two hours at a time between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. After that window, as well as on weekends from 7 a.m. - 3 a.m., trucks could use any metered parking space that isn’t within 100 feet of an open business or residential area.

“Operating a food truck business out of a tent has menu limitation. We’re constantly getting requests for dishes that aren’t possible on a food truck,” explained Pappas, who said he hadn’t been looking for a restaurant site but saw the vacancy at Belle’s, thought it could work, and struck a deal that night. Pappas, a native of Greece, could have taken the property as is, slapped some paint on it and opened, or gut it and make it his own. He chose the latter. He’ll offer a few tables for eating in, encourage takeout orders and try to enhance his catering business. His most popular dishes: the lamb gyros and the spanakopita, a spinach pie. “With the quality of food, the uniqueness of our menu, the desserts and a market we’ll have on the second floor , we’ll attract people. They’ll find us,” he said. Fans of T akeria El habanero Loko won’t have any trouble finding finding the popular food truck’s new restaurant, which opened in late June. Sitting at the corner of V ine Street and Limestone downtown, in the spot most recently occupied by J. Morse Bistro, the casual Mexican restaurant has a very visible and prominent location. In an inventive and resourceful solu-

tion to opening a restaurant, two other mobile food businesses have teamed up to operate out of one fixed location. Tim Latham, owner of Tnt BBQ & Grill, and Lincoln Ogata, of Ogata’s Hawaiian Grill, are serving customers in a space adjacent to a Shell gas station along US 27 between Nicholasville and Lexington. Both hope steady vehicle and foot traffic from the busy highway will attract customers. “We share a commercial kitchen and a dining room. It’s a good location with a good lease rate with little start-up costs,” said Latham, who’ll continue the mobile portion of his business and, apparently, his day job. He’s a product line manager at Valvoline. Latham is from Tennessee and hopes to hook people here on his Memphisstyle barbeque. Ogata’s menu is described as “working man’s food” and comes from the Ogata family’s Hawaiianstyle recipes. Latham noted one big dif ference between operating a mobile food business and a stationary one: time commitment. “With the food truck, you’re at just one event location and plan everything for one day, but when you have to do it every day in a restaurant, it’s a whole different story.”

Southsider Magazine July 2013

In a reverse scenario, another local restaurant has taken the sweetest item on its menu outdoors to serve customers under a tent. Thai Orchid Café, based of f South Broadway near V irginia Avenue, now sells its popular ice cream flavors from a freezer on wheels at events and at the Lexington Farmers’ Market. It’s described as artisan ice cream, handmade in small batches. “There is a craft to it. It’s just not throwing ingredients into a machine and having it spit out ice cream,” said owner T oa Green. The ice cream flavors vary by season and by the whim of the chef. Green began with making coconut ice cream. Coconut is a common ingredient in Thai food. “I wanted to replicate ice cream made on the streets in Thailand and have for dessert in the restaurant. We experimented with other flavors and got great customer response.” Last fall Green started an ice cream side business. On the city’s experiment with downtown mobile food vendors, Green thinks it’s great. “The city is moving toward a more open environment for food trucks and mobile food vendors. It creates a great atmosphere, brings people out of their offices and homes, and creates a cool vibe which every city needs,” she said.

BY ANN BOWE | LANDSCAPES COLUMNIST

any of us are adding to our landscaping this time of year , making plant choices to increase the beauty of our homes in years to come. Flowering trees are often at the top of the list. Even though their bloom time is past, let us consider two less than usual spring flowering trees that I know you would enjoy in your gardens. When we think of spring flowering trees, the dogwood (Cornus florida) and the redbud (Cercis canadensis) tend to come to mind first. These are our best known native flowering trees. We love them dearly for their great beauty and, at a deeper level, because they belong here. These trees are part of Kentucky, our home. Dogwoods typically grow to 15 to 30 feet tall, with a bloom time that overlaps with the redbuds. The true dogwood flowers are actually tiny, yellowish green, button-shaped clusters. What we call the bloom is the four showy, petal-like bracts which open flat and give the appearance of a lar ge flower. In the fall, the leaves tur n red. The bright red fruits, poisonous to humans but loved by the birds, mature in the fall. Unfortunately, especially when stressed, dogwoods can have disease issues. The most serious is dogwood anthracnose, but they are also susceptible to other diseases, and when stressed, they become vulnerable to borers. Water them well during times of drought to avoid stressing them unduly. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop planting dogwoods, but in the interests of increasing biodiversity, here are two other lovely spring-flowering trees that you might like to consider adding to your garden. While there are other species of each of these trees, I will stick to those that are most likely to be found at a garden center . Carolina silverbell (you may see two scientific names for this tree, Halesia carolina or Halesia tetraptera) grows as an understory tree, 30 to 40 feet tall, along streams in the southeastern states. While not native to Kentucky, they will grow here just fine. These trees thrive in the same habitat as our native dogwood, preferring evenly moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil, in full sun to part shade. While they will not do well in difficult sites, the silverbell should be fine in a normal garden setting. They can be grown with multiple stems or trained as a single-trunk tree.

Southsider Magazine July 2013

The silverbell blooms in the spring, just before or just as the leaves start to emerge, with small, bell-shaped, white flowers in drooping clusters. These blooms have a dainty, delicate beauty. Four-winged, brownish fruits appear in the fall. They are quite interesting looking and often persist well into the winter. Fall color isn’t a big selling point, being a rather muted yellow-green. The bark is lovely, though, a light gray with darker striations. In the same family as the Carolina silverbell is the Japanese snowbell (Styrax japonicus), which has been called a “tree of singular grace and beauty.” It has the same preferred growing conditions as the silverbell and similar drooping clusters of white, bellshaped flowers in the spring. These flowers are easily visible The Japanese snowbell has been called a because of the upward-growing “tree of singular positioning of the leaves. Flowers grace and beauty.” give way to greenish olive-shaped fruits in the fall. Again, fall color PHOTO FURNISHED tends to be insignificant but the gray bark produces fissures that reveal inner orange bark, which can be attractive. Japanese snowbell is native to China, Japan, Korea and the Philippines. It is a compact, 20 to 30 foot tall tree with horizontal branching, a rounded crown and glossy green leaves. Both of these trees have no serious insect of disease problems. The silverbell is susceptible to chlorosis in high pH (that is, alkaline) soils. I have seen a number of beautiful specimens in Lexington, none of which appears to be having this issue. The styrax doesn’t tolerate drought well, so watering well during periods of heat and lack of sufficient rainfall will help to avoid stressing the tree. This will be especially important during the first two years after planting to establish a strong root system. Spring is already a gor geous season in the Bluegrass. Carolina silverbell and Japanese styrax, with their beautiful blooms and attractive form, are worthy to join in the celebration.
