Chew Valley Trees 2011.Pdf OPENING TIMES: Monday to Friday throughout the year 8am to 5pm Saturdays (not in July and August) 9am to 4pm Good Friday and Easter Monday 9am to 4pm CLOSED: Sundays and Bank Holidays other than Easter Saturdays in July and August Christmas and New Year – We close at 5pm on the 23rd of December and reopen on the fi rst day following the January Bank Holiday Directors: David Scarth MSc, Julia Scarth Contacts: Sales Wendy Downer, Jenny Stephens Accounts Julia Scarth Landscaping Chris Wooding Nursery Dale James, Simon Scarth 25 years and still growing This year we are celebrating 25 years of Chew Valley Trees. The same year that the M25 opened and the popular medical drama Casualty was fi rst screened, David and I bought a 10 acre fi eld full of docks. Accompanied by our 5 year old daughter, Elinor and 3 year old son Simon, many back breaking hours were spent clearing, sowing and planting. Being a family business it is only right to mention our youngest daughter Jane who was born when the nursery was 4 years old. Our fi rst plant list was a single photocopied sheet comprising native broadleaved seedlings and transplants. Over the last 25 years the size and range of trees we produce has grown to this 62 page catalogue. Our guiding principle has always been customer satisfaction both in the quality and suitability of our plant stock and level of service and advice we offer. The commitment, energy and enthusiasm of our wonderful staff both past and present has been the key to our continued success. Much has changed in 25 years, networked computers have taken over from word processors, and our 3 year old son is now 28 and shares the responsibility of running the business. What remains constant is our focus on supplying the best plants for your requirements. Happy Tree Browsing Julia Landscaping and planting Since 1987 we have provided a landscaping service. The range of schemes we undertake extends from a single tree in your garden to woodland establishment and extensive commercial contracts on development sites. We have a wealth of experience and are always happy to advise and quote for your requirements.

  • Wa Shan – Emei Shan, a Further Comparison
    photograph © Zhang Lin A rare view of Wa Shan almost minus its shroud of mist, viewed from the Abies fabri forested slopes of Emei Shan. At its far left the mist-filled Dadu River gorge drops to 500-600m. To its right the 3048m high peak of Mao Kou Shan climbed by Ernest Wilson on 3 July 1903. “As seen from the top of Mount Omei, it resembles a huge Noah’s Ark, broadside on, perched high up amongst the clouds” (Wilson 1913, describing Wa Shan floating in the proverbial ‘sea of clouds’). Wa Shan – Emei Shan, a further comparison CHRIS CALLAGHAN of the Australian Bicentennial Arboretum 72 updates his woody plants comparison of Wa Shan and its sister mountain, World Heritage-listed Emei Shan, finding Wa Shan to be deserving of recognition as one of the planet’s top hotspots for biological diversity. The founding fathers of modern day botany in China all trained at western institutions in Europe and America during the early decades of last century. In particular, a number of these eminent Chinese botanists, Qian Songshu (Prof. S. S. Chien), Hu Xiansu (Dr H. H. Hu of Metasequoia fame), Chen Huanyong (Prof. W. Y. Chun, lead author of Cathaya argyrophylla), Zhong Xinxuan (Prof. H. H. Chung) and Prof. Yung Chen, undertook their training at various institutions at Harvard University between 1916 and 1926 before returning home to estab- lish the initial Chinese botanical research institutions, initiate botanical exploration and create the earliest botanical gardens of China (Li 1944). It is not too much to expect that at least some of them would have had personal encounters with Ernest ‘Chinese’ Wilson who was stationed at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard between 1910 and 1930 for the final 20 years of his life.

  • Agroforestry Research Trust
    Agroforestry Research Trust Fruit trees, nut trees, plants, seeds, books & sundries August 2010-July 2011 Agroforestry: what is it? 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, for several reasons: Perennial crops are more resilient to the vagaries of the climate and more reliable in cropping than annually-cultivated crops. This may become increasingly important as climate change occurs: the latest indications are that the warming of the earth is occuring faster than anticipated and over the next 50 years, between 2° and 5 C rise in Britain looks likely. This will mean increasingly frequent droughts in summer, thus threatening many annual agricultural crops. Modern agriculture is inefficient in energy terms, whereas agroforestry relies on perennial crops which need less labour and require less energy input to maintain than annual crops. Perennial crops are much more sustainable in the long term, especially where they are planted in diverse mixtures which are planned to perform well together. Perennial crops have other important benefits, some of which are less easy to quantify. Trees and forests are essential facets of life on earth and help control and regulate wind, moisture, rainfall, temperature and so on. They are also linked with cultural and spiritual values. 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.

  • Epidemiology of Bacterial Canker of Plum
    I 17 EPIDEMIOLOGY OF BACTERIAL CANKER OF PLUM (PRUNUS DOMESTICA) CAUSED BY PSEUDOMONAS SYRINGAE PATHOVAR MORSPRUNORUM BY KALUDURA INDRA JINADARIE GUNAWARDENA EAST MALLING RESEARCH STATION MAIDSTONE, KENT, U.K. A thesis presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London, September, 1983 1 ABSTRACT Investigations on overwintering sites proved that the pathogen overwinters in association with apparently healthy plum buds with no evidence that climatic factors affect the low numbers present. Pv. morsprunorum colonises the surfaces and outer bud parts but not the innermost primordia. The likelihood of transmission of the pathogen to new orchards was demonstrated by detection of the pathogen from bud-wood and buds of nursery trees. Pathogen populations increased sharply at bud-break and initiated the leaf surface populations which were main- tained throughout the growing season. Regression analysis of climatic data revealed a negative correlation between these populations and maximum temperature and sunshine dura- tion. The pathogen was barely detectable in rain water drain- ing down plum trees during winter. However, the threshold inoculum level for infection was very low during winter and a sigmoid relationship was demonstrated between inoculum concentration and both frequency of infection and lesion length. Wound size did not affect the frequency of stem infection but there was a significant difference between the lesion 1 enrt.hs rr r)\--r-rmt height? rn the trun!<r follow- ing inoculation through small wounds. A relation between time of inoculation and temperature with lesion length was also demonstrated. Pv. morsprunorum dominated isolates from buds and leaves. 2 The epidemiological significance of the four phage-types detected among these isolates is discussed.

  • The Trees of Buckingham Palace Garden Mark Lane, Gardens Manager
    The Trees of Buckingham Palace Garden Mark Lane, Gardens Manager The garden at Buckingham Palace covers just over 39 acres (16 ha) surround- ed by a wall. It is situated at the heart of an exciting metropolis and, with its proximity to the Royal Parks ( The Green Park, St James's Park, Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens) forms an important part of the central London green space. Sited on London clay over chalk, the landscape has been made up over the years as different designs have come and gone. Originally an area of swampy ground with osier beds and market gardens, it has been lifted through three or more designs to reach the present levels where it sits at about 7m above sea level. The existing layout can be attributed to William Townsend Aiton who remod- elled the garden slightly from Sir William Chambers' original, which in itself was an adaptation of a plan originally submitted by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown. He enlarged the Lake and created the Mound as well as carrying out a great deal of additional planting. Historically, little is recorded about the trees, apart from the occasional reference, such as that by Queen Victoria in which she referred to enjoying 'the limes and their shade'. Another reference, in 1854, was to an old elm which was felled; The Lord Steward had, misguid- edly, allowed an item of £4, the proceeds of the sale of the wood, to appear in his books. When this was discovered the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, having sat in conference upon the matter, “thought it right to direct an inquiry into the subject”, since the Office of Works had always intended to “reserve control over the timber” the proceeds from the sale of which were held to be “public funds”.

  • Host Plant Associations and Chemical Ecology of Cerambycidae
    HOST PLANT ASSOCIATIONS AND CHEMICAL ECOLOGY OF CERAMBYCIDAE BY JOSEPH CHUNG HUEN WONG DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Entomology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Lawrence M. Hanks, Chair, Director of Research Professor Andrew V. Suarez Assistant Professor Brian F. Allan Associate Professor Matthew D. Ginzel, Purdue University ii ABSTRACT Invasive species are a major threat to forest ecosystems, threatening native biodiversity, forest health, altering nutrient cycles, and deteriorating water and soil qualities. In the United States alone, economic losses are estimated to be around $120 billion, both from impact of invasive species to the environment and in efforts to prevent and respond to them. With increasing rates of biological invasions posing a major threat to forests in the United States and worldwide, prevention of introduction of exotic species is of high importance. A number of longhorned beetle species (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) are considered major pests worldwide. Longhorned beetles include some of the most damaging pests of woody plants and invasive species pose a serious threat to North American forests. The beetle family of Cerambycidae is a diverse group whose larvae feed primarily in the woody parts of trees, and many species are important pests in their native regions, and when introduced into new regions. Effective detection and survey programs are increasingly important as the rate of introduction of exotic species rises with the continued growth of international trade. Semiochemicals, particularly volatile pheromones, are an effective way to attract a number of cerambycid beetles to traps.

But much more interesting collections can occur within historic properties, municipal parks, large private gardens, college campuses, cemeteries, churchyards, along certain suburban roads, and in certain woods. This volume provides information on such sites with summary descriptions for the majority, but more detailed lists for 55 of the most interesting sites which you can print out if you wish to search these sitesand find the most interesting specimens. These detailed lists are still provisional as it can take several visits and an awful lot of critical checking to produce a fully accurate and comprehensive tree list for a better site. Sites in red are those that still require checking (in some cases permission was refused). Trees in the lists tat are red are those that still require confirmation, perhaps because they need to be seen at a particular time of year (e.g.
