A shrub ideally suited to small gardens, it offers dark green foliage in the form of pinnate, compound leaves with several pairs of lance-shaped leaflets in spring and summer, which turn to a dramatic red in autumn. What is most distinctive about Sorbus rosea is its milky-pink berries that darken to a rosy-pink by winter. Like many of the genus, it also likes well-drained, humus-rich soil and plenty of sunshine. Low maintenance and hardy, it is an excellent option for urban gardeners to consider. Find Kashmir Rowan in our Shop! Free shipping from € 50! Plant Environment Usage Known dangers?

  • Tree Planting and Management
    COMMONWEALTH WAR GRAVES COMMISSION Tree Planting and Management Breadth of Opportunity The spread of the Commission's responsibilities over some 148 countries in temperate, mediterranean, tropical and desert climates provides wonderful opportunities to experiment with nature's wealth of tree species. We are particularly fortunate in being able to grow many interesting and beautiful trees and we will explain how we manage them and what splendid specimens they can make. Why Plant Trees? Trees are planted for a variety of reasons: their amenity value, leaf shape and size, flowers, fruit, habit, form, bark, landscape value, shelter or screening, backcloth planting, shade, noise and pollution reduction, soil stabilisation and to encourage wild life. Often we plant trees solely for their amenity value. That is, the beauty of the tree itself. This can be from the leaves such as those in Robinia pseudoacacia 'Frisia', the flowers in the tropical tree Tabebuia or Albizia, the crimson stems of the sealing wax palm (Cyrtostachys renda), or the fruit as in Magnolia grandiflora. above: Sealing wax palms at Taiping War Cemetery, Malaysia with insert of the fruit of Magnolia grandiflora Selection Generally speaking the form of the left: The tropical tree Tabebuia tree is very often a major contributing factor and this, together with a sound knowledge of below: Flowers of the tropical the situation in which the tree is to tree Albizia julibrissin be grown, guides the decision to the best choice of species. Exposure is a major limitation to the free choice of species in northern Europe especially and trees such as Sorbus, Betula, Tilia, Fraxinus, Crataegus and fastigiate yews play an important role in any landscape design where the elements are seriously against a wider selection.

Zahid Farhad1, Sadia Ferheen2 and Sarwat Ismail3 1Department of Applied Chemistry, University of Karachi, Karachi-75270, Pakistan 2Pharmaceutical Research Centre, PCSIR Laboratories Complex Karachi, Pakistan 3PCSIR, Head office, 1-Constitution Avenue, G-5/2, Islamabad, Pakistan *corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The current review is focused on the phytochemical and pharmacological aspects of the genus Sorbus. Its numerous species have been utilized as a traditional medicine in the world. Despite, the therapeutic importance of genus Sorbus, out of 100 species only 13 species have been screened phytochemically. Up till now, around 150 secondary metabolites have been reported from this genus, which are summarized in this review. Keywords: Rosaceae, Sorbus, phytochemical, pharmacological potential. INTRODUCTION The Sorbus L. is a genus from the Rose family (Rosaceae). Sorbus comprises of 100 species among which many are medicinally important and are being used in the folklore medications all over the world (Bhattacharjee, 2003). Several taxa from Sorbus are found in customary and local medicines that are used as anti-diarrhea, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, vaso- protective, broncho- and vaso-relaxant, along with potent antioxidative qualities (Hukkanen et al., 2006, Olszewska and Michel, 2009, Olszewska et al., 2010, Olszewska, 2012; Perry and Metzger, 1980; Krishna, 1972; Jayaweera, 1982; Krachmal, 1980. The fruit of S. aucuparia L. is bitter in nature and having characteristics of, astringent, laxative, diuretic and cholagogue. Traditionally these are used as drugs in the form of tea, syrup, jelly or liqueur in Austria for the treatment of ailments related to respiratory tract, fever, infections, colds, flu, rheumatism and gout.

    SRGC ----- Bulb Log Diary ----- Pictures and text © Ian Young BULB LOG 22...............................1st June 2016 Paeonia cambessedesii We are all tempted into trying plants from outside our climate zone - Paeonia cambessedesii is at the verge of its tolerance in this narrow bed at the base of the south- facing kitchen wall. The conditions in our garden are a long way from those in its Balearic Island home but this is the hottest driest bed we have in the garden. Fortunately there are many Paeonia that do grow happily in our cool moist semi- shaded conditions one is the beautiful Himalayan Paeonia emodi with white, scented flowers. Paeonia emodi Paeonia obovata alba Paeonia obovata A woodland species from higher elevations in China, Paeonia obovata, is also well adapted to growing in our northern garden. It is the white form that seems to be more common in cultivation and we have grown it for many years and now we are very happy to have flowered the pink coloured type for the first time. This picture, which shows both forms of Paeonia obovata growing in our front garden, illustrates why plants that are native to woodland habitats grow best for us in our dense plantings under the partial shade of trees and shrubs. Paeonia eomodi, Uvularia grandiflora and Hyacinthoides hispanica also enjoy our open woodland type growing conditions. We have grown our only plant of Paeonia emodi for almost thirty years and while it has formed a large clump with many flowers it has never produced any seeds. Glaucidium palmatum, a woodlander from Japan, also thrives in our cool moist woodsy type growing conditions and it does set seed – I show one of our darkest coloured forms alongside the white from which comes true from seed.

  • An Elemental Education When She Took on Her Beautiful New Zealand Garden 40 Years Ago, Janet Blair Learned Spectacular Views Came at a Price
    New Zealand garden An elemental education When she took on her beautiful New Zealand garden 40 years ago, Janet Blair learned spectacular views came at a price. But with clever planting and design she has tamed the harsh southerly winds WORDS CHRISTINE REID PHOTOGRAPHS CLAIRE TAKACS In brief What Large country garden. Where Near Queenstown, New Zealand’s South Island. Size 14 acres. Soil Mainly a thin layer of loam over clay. Climate Extremes of weather; from low of -19ºC in winter to mid 30ºCs in summer. Points of interest The entire garden is Janet Blair’s creation over the past 40 years, and the garden has been given a five-star rating by the New Zealand Gardens Trust as a garden of national significance. Hedges and trees – both deciduous and evergreen – help shelter Janet’s garden as icy winds tear down the valley. 62 New Zealand garden “Gardening is really a partnership between nature and artifice” he influence of designer Russell Page’s Tclassic work The Education of a Gardener is undeniably far-reaching. Janet Blair, who gardens in the magnificent mountain scenery of New Zealand’s South Island, rates it as the book that has inspired her garden making for the past 40 years. Her remarkable garden shows how much she has absorbed of this seminal text and Page’s principles and rules. ‘A panorama and a garden seen together distract from each other. One’s interest is torn between the garden… and the excitement of the distant view… A view, too, usually means wind, and a windy garden is unrewarding,’ writes Page.

Ashraf 2 1Department of Applied Chemistry and Chemical Technology, University of Karachi, Karachi, Pakistan. 2Department of Pharmacy the Ismalia University Bahawalpure, Bahawalpure Pakistan ABSTRACT Cashmirol Aand B and sorbinol A and B have been isolated from ethyl acetate soluble fraction of Sorbus cashmirana. Their structures were determined through spectroscopic techniques that give significant activity against enzyme lipoxygenase. Key-words: INTRODUCTION Sorbus cashmiriana Hedlund Monog is a medicinal plant which belongs to the family Rosaceae. It is a tree with a conical growth reach up to 40 feet. There are about 100 species under the genus Sorbus and seven native to the Indo-Pak subcontinent. Sourbus cashmiriana Hedlund, Monog is tree of two seasons one in the spring with lovely pink –tinted flowers and one in the autumn when the leaves are gone and glorious white fruits shine out. A tea made from its bark is used to treat nausea and to cleanse the blood. A bark preparation is also used against heart diseases. The berries are rich in vitamin C and used to cure scurvy (Bhattacharjee, 2003; Perry and Metzger, 1980; Krishna, 1972; Jayaweera, 1982; Krachmal, 1980). The ethanopharmacological and chemotaxonomic importance of the genus Sorbus led us to investigate the chemical constituents of Sorbus cashmiriana. Its methanolic extract showed strong toxicity in a brine shrimp lethality test (McLaughlin et al., 1997; Nie and Honn, 2002). Pharmacological screening of the ethyl acetate soluble fraction showed strong inhibition against lipoxygenase enzyme.

  • Garden Notes – Spring 2013
    GARDEN NOTES – SPRING 2013 Do you like greens? No, not those you consume but those to be admired, especially at this time of the year. It is virtually impossible to calculate accurately the number of different shades of green displayed by trees and shrubs that one can enjoy at any and particularly at this time of year. Irrespective of whether you are in the countryside looking at mostly native trees within our shores or amongst a collection of exotics from innumerable countries the quantity of greens usually exceeds expectations. Taking a stroll around the arboretum at West Lodge Park, you can be assured that by the time you have completed your stroll you will have seen trees from just about every part of the world. Your notebook will be full, your head will be close to bursting point with plant names and you will hardly be able to wait to tell your friends of your experience and say to them that they must get there too! Let’s assume you commence where you came into the car park in front of the Hotel. Standing alone on the edge is a well developed specimen of a Lime – Tilia Wratislaviensii which has conspicuous limey yellow foliage all over its canopy. A difficult name to pronounce but every tree carries a label which is clearly visible. Walk across the car park with the big mature oak tree on your left down a few steps and a whole panorama of trees awaits your attention. Whilst everything is interesting and has a story of particular note, the collection of Taxodiums – swamp cypresses which are native to Texas, Delaware and up the Mississippi to Missouri are spectacular.
