Stock order value over £3000 ex-VAT 20% discount Stock Availability and Pricing Welcome to Majestic Trees! We appreciate your interest in our company, and believe that we truly do have the finest selection of containerised trees in Great Britain, with over 400 varieties from 1.5 to over 12 metres tall, in 50 – 5,000 litre pots, including mature multi-stem trees and hedging. The vast majority of our trees are grown in ‘Airpot’ containers, a relatively new innovation in containerised tree production which produces such a vigorous, fibrous root system that planting can be undertaken any time of the year – even during the height of summer! We are a nursery that believes in customer service and going the extra mile. We start the process by asking you to register with us so we understand your needs and desires. We are pleased to do business with you remotely or in person, and our Horticultural Advisors are very knowledgeable about our stock and can be relied upon completely too select or source quality stock on your behalf. • Opening Hours Our regular nursery and office hours are: Summer (1st March - 31st October) Mon-Fri 8.30 am to 5 pm; Sat 10 am to 5 pm Winter (1st November - 28/29th February) Mon-Fri 8.30 am to 5 pm; Sat 10 am to 4 pm We are closed every Sunday, on Bank Holidays and between Christmas and the New Year. • Viewing the Trees You are most welcome to view our trees at the nursery. If you have time, touring the site on foot will ensure you see as much as possible. We are a commercial growing nursery and not a garden centre so sturdy footwear/Wellington boots are needed especially in the winter months. Before you set out, you may wish to ask the receptionist if a horticulturist is available to talk through your requirements and point you in the right direction, and if you wish, provide some suggested items to view. Viewing the stock in living colour will give you a much clearer idea of what size and type of trees you require. Once viewed, you will likely wish to talk again to one of our horticulturalists if you have any questions and who can help you finalise and tag your selection with the convenience of a golf buggy. • Important Safety Notice when Visiting the Nursery Please be reminded that we are a commercial nursery and not a garden centre. Heavy machinery is in operation on the site, which poses a serious safety hazard, especially for children. Although our staff operate the machines with great care, it is important that visitors be aware the drivers may not always see them, and keep well clear of machines at all times. Reflective yellow vests are provided for your safety whilst visiting, as required by ‘Health and Safety’ regulations. Agricultural fertilisers and pesticides are also in use, along with various hand-tools and equipment, which are hazardous to children. Visitors wishing to take children onto the nursery must keep them under close supervision at all times. Young children should be carried or kept confined to buggies.Visitors should not take children onto the nursery unless they are prepared to accept sole responsibility for their safety. Additionally there are 2 deep water irrigation reservoirs. • Discounts We are pleased to offer volume purchase discounts on our trees at the following order value thresholds: Stock order value over £1000 ex-VAT 10% discount Stock order value over £2000 ex-VAT 15% discount Stock order value over £3000 ex-VAT 20% discount Please note that all discounts pertain only to the plant value of the order, and not to sundries, labour, etc. • Payment Payment is due at time of order unless you have an established account with us. For orders with a deferred delivery/planting date due to rooting out of new stock, a 50% deposit is required to hold the stock in reserve, with the balance due 7 days prior to scheduled delivery. Cancellation charges will apply if the order is cancelled for any reason. Additionally, if the tree is taken out of situation and rootballed in preparation for delivery and the order is then cancelled, a re-stocking fee (20% of the tree value) will be charged. • Gift Vouchers We can provide gift vouchers for specified amounts or for specific trees. Vouchers are valid for 1 year from date of purchase. Stock Availability and Pricing • Delivery We deliver nationwide by our nursery transport to give you on-time assurance and to provide qualified handling of your trees every time by a courteous, counscientious driver. Lead time for delivery Our standard delivery time is within 2 weeks (sometimes 3 weeks during peak periods) of order confirmation. You will be advised of lead time when placing your order. If you are in no rush for your order and in an area that we go to regularly, you may wish to avail of our Green Rate option, which will enable you to enjoy a discount on your delivery. See ‘Delivery costs’ below for details. Vehicle/Equipment options We can deliver to kerbside with the following options: • Small rigid curtainsider (7.5 ton) • Large rigid curtainsider (26 ton) - 2 of our rigid vehicles have a lifting and sliding roof to facilitate crane off-loading • Large rigid curtainsider + lowloader drag (44 ton) • Articulated lorry with 33 or 45 ft trailer (All our trailers come with a sliding roof to facilitate crane off-loading when required and are rear wheel steer if access is an issue) • Manitou telescopic forklift for unloading (Available with articulated and all large rigid lorry deliveries. Can lift 3 tons across most ground conditions and, with sufficient access, place most trees into planting positions) • Other equipment is available for off-loading and can be quoted by your horticultural advisor. Delivery costs Delivery costs will vary by distance, size of order, equipment needed to offload, and your own flexibility with scheduling. Your advisor will prepare a quote for you as your order begins to take shape. We offer two rates of delivery, Standard and Green Rate. Standard Rate delivery will prioritise delivery of your order within two to three weeks. However, if you are in a position to wait for your trees until we are next working in your area, you may wish to avail of our discounted Green Rate option. If you have booked at Green Rate, you can of course upgrade to Standard Rate at anytime to prioritise scheduling of your order. • Planting We deliver and plant nationwide though during peak times our order book for planting may be longer than 3 weeks. This complete planting service is for our stock (and not trees from other nurseries), which will include a one year establishment warranty. Costs depend on tree sizes, quantities and accessibility of planting positions, with a minimum starting cost of £85 plus VAT (exclusive of sundries, machinery and delivery). Your Horticultural Advisor can prepare a quote for you as your order begins to take shape. Please note we are unable to guarantee stock which we have not planted, unless it is apparent that there was something wrong with the tree prior to delivery. See Warranties and our Terms & Conditions for further details. • AfterCare Service Our intent is for our trees to provide a lifetime of enjoyment. Fortunately, our ‘AirPot’ grown trees come well equipped with strong root systems that help them establish easily, and lead long, thriving lives. Even so, they do need some support in the first two to three growing seasons, and, as with any tree, may need occasional attention, such as pruning or fertilising, throughout their lives to keep them at their best.

    1 Plant Archives Vol. 20, Supplement 2, 2020 pp. 589-595 e-ISSN:2581-6063 (online), ISSN:0972-5210 A COMPARATIVE TAXONOMIC STUDY OF SEEDS OF SOME PLANTS OF ROSACEAE FAMILY IN IRAQ Zainab Abid Aun Ali Department of Biology, College of science for women, University of Baghdad, Iraq Abstract Seeds of 12 types of fruits of plants within the family Rosaceae, representing seven genera cultivated in Iraq were examined. The study included Pyrus communis L., Eriobotrya japonica (Thunb.) Lindl., Cydonia oblonga Mill., Crataegus azarulus L., Malus domestica Borkh., Prunus persica (L.) Batsch., Prunus persica var. nectarina (Sol.) Maxim., Prunus persica var. platycarpa (Decne.) L.H. Bailey, Prunus domestica L., Prunus domestica var. italica (Borkh.) Schneid., Prunus cerasus L ., Prunus armaniaca L. and Rosa damascene Mill. Seeds were glabrous except of R. damascene were pubescence. Seeds of Prunus were coated by brown thin dry cover (testa) and in other genera were near this color either reddish brown as of M. domestica or light brown as of C. azarulus or dark brown– black as of E. japonica . Most seeds were ovate or obovate but were elliptic in P. armaniaca , puffed Oblong in E. japonica , spherical in P. persica var. platycarpa and were hemi spherical in C. azarulus . Seeds of Prunus were covered by hard woody endocarp; each type has different color and surface sculptures. There were variations in the surface configurations of endocarps and seeds between genera; it can be used as taxonomic evidences in separating the nearest taxa. Keywords : Rosaceae, Pyrus , Eriobotrya , Cydonia , Crataegus , Malus. Prunus, Rosa Introduction have five petals (simple flowers), whereas high numbers of Rosaceae is cosmopolitan, 115 genera and 3200 petals (double flowers) are typical attributes of most of the species, with economic importance especially in the tropical cultivated roses (Annick Dobois et al., 2010).

The simplest definition of agroforestry is that it is the integration of trees and agriculture/horticulture to create a more diverse growing system. In agroforestry the aim is to promote more use of perennial crops, notably tree and shrub crops, because they are more resilient, more sustainable and ecologically sound. Agroforestry systems can vary in complexity from the very simple, eg occasional trees planted in pastures to provide shade, emergency forage and nitrogen (via nitrogen- fixing bacteria), to the more complex systems like forest gardens, which may utilise hundreds of species to create a self-sustaining and interconnected system. The Agroforestry Research Trust The Trust is a registered charity, set up to educate and research into perennial crops and agroforestry. We have 20 acres of trial grounds in Devon including forest gardens and other systems. There are public guided tours through the growing season of our sites (see website at https://www.agroforestry.co.uk/research-site-tours/ for info and dates). We also run courses and seminars in forest gardening, growing nut crops and the forest garden greenhouse (with subtropical forest garden) in Devon. Dates and more info on website at https://www.agroforestry.co.uk/product-category/courses/. The Forest Garden Network This is an informal network of people planning or already cultivating their own forest gardens or agroforestry systems on farms, with the aim to facilitate visits to each other’s sites – one of the best ways to improve our knowledge about temperate agroforestry.

    The Polyphenolic Composition and Antioxidant Capacity of Yellow European Plums (Prunus Domestica L.) and Novel Golden Prunes

    The Polyphenolic Composition and Antioxidant Capacity of Yellow European Plums (Prunus domestica L.) and Novel Golden Prunes by Carolyn Dowling, BSc. A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science (MSc.) in Plant Agriculture University of Guelph Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Carolyn Dowling, February 2014 THE POLYPHENOLIC COMPOSITION AND ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY OF YELLOW EUORPEAN PLUMS (PRUNUS DOMESTICA L.) AND NOVEL GOLDEN PRUNES Carolyn Dowling Advisor: Dr. Jayasankar Subramanian University of Guelph, 2014 Abstract Although plums and their dried counterparts, prunes, have been distinguished as abundant sources of nutrients, the diversity of unique phytochemicals and the effects of processing on these bioactive compounds have not been investigated in detail. Among the phytochemicals present in plums, phenolic compounds are free radical scavengers with antioxidant potential that contribute to health-promoting effects in combating a number of chronic and degenerative diseases. The yellow European plums (YEPs) (Prunus domestica L.) developed at Vineland Research Station demonstrate comparable nutritional properties to traditional dark purple or blue-black European prune-making plums and superior phenolic contents and antioxidant capacity following dehydration. The plums and respective “golden prunes” were characterized through the measurement of total and specific phenolic contents and associated antioxidant capacities, as well as the determination of specific sugar compositions and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities before and after the implementation of optimized osmotic dehydration processing techniques involving traditional sulfite and nutrient-rich alternatives. The development of novel golden prunes provides the Ontario tender fruit market with an avenue for extending the short post-harvest storage and shelf-life characteristics of tender fruit while providing the superior health benefits of fresh fruit to an aging consumer population on a year-round basis.

    / VIRUS DISEASES AND NONINFECTIOUS DISORDERS OF STONE FRUITS IN NORTH AMERICA Agriculture Handbook No. 437 Agricultural Research Service UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE VIRUS DISEASES AND NONINFECTIOUS DISORDERS OF STONE FRUITS IN NORTH AMERICA Agriculture Handbook No. 437 This handbook supersedes Agriculture Handbook 10, Virus Diseases and Other Disorders with Viruslike Symptoms of Stone Fruits in North America. Agricultural Research Service UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Washington, D.C. ISSUED JANUARY 1976 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D.C 20402 — Price $7.10 (Paper Cover) Stock Number 0100-02691 FOREWORD The study of fruit tree virus diseases is a tedious process because of the time needed to produce experimental woody plants and, often, the long interval from inoculation until the development of diagnostic symptoms. The need for cooperation and interchange of information among investigators of these diseases has been apparent for a long time. As early as 1941, a conference was called by Director V. R. Gardner at Michigan State University to discuss the problem. One result of this early conference was the selection of a committee (E. M. Hildebrand, G. H. Berkeley, and D. Cation) to collect and classify both published and unpublished data on the nomenclature, symptoms, host range, geographical distribution, and other pertinent information on stone fruit virus diseases. This information was used to prepare a "Handbook of Stone Fruit Virus Diseases in North America," which was published in 1942 as a mis- cellaneous publication of the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station. At a second conference of stone fruit virus disease workers held in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1944 under the chairmanship of Director Gardner, a Publication Committee (D.

    Kruckeberg Botanic Garden Master Site Plan PHASING AND IMPLEMENTATION he following pages outline phasing recommendations for the KruckebergT Botanic Garden that seem desirable to address the needs, vision, and requirements of a private garden’s evolution into the publc domain. With the transfer of this property from a private residence to a commercial public entity, new sets of codes, restrictions, and opportunities come into play. These deal with public safety, health, and well-being and ensure that equal opportunities are afforded to all. Within a limited budget, Phase 1 responds to these immediate needs by providing on-site public parking to reduce impacts to the surrounding residential community, adding much needed public restrooms, and creating a permanent and separate service access road and staff parking area. Phase 2 focuses on siting an interpretive switchback boardwalk trail that connects the upper and lower gardens in an aesthetic ADA-compliant manner. It is also envi- sioned that an ADA-compliant loop path would be routed through the lower garden. While it would be optimal to build the environmental learning center in Phase 2, it is recognized that lack of funding may require deferment to a later phase. Further development of future phases depends on many factors, most importantly securing funding and the commitment of the City, Foundation, and public to sup- port and encourage new work to proceed. In the end, this alone will determine how quickly Garden projects are completed and the Garden vision, as outlined in this report, is realized. This is a modest plan as represented by the development costs associated with each phase in 2010 dollars.

    List of Crop Plants Pollinated by Bees 1 List of Crop Plants Pollinated by Bees

    List of crop plants pollinated by bees 1 List of crop plants pollinated by bees Pollination by insects is called entomophily. Entomophily is a form of pollination whereby pollen is distributed by insects, particularly bees, Lepidoptera (e.g. butterflies and moths), flies and beetles. Note that honey bees will pollinate many plant species that are not native to areas where honey bees occur, and are often inefficient pollinators of such plants. Please note that plants that require insect pollination to produce seeds do not necessarily require pollination to grow from seed into food. The carrot is an example.
