  • Conservation & Open Space Environment
    Conservation & Open Space Environment CONSERVATION & OPEN SPACE ELEMENT INTRODUCTION Element Purpose The purpose of the Conservation & Open Space element is to promote the conservation and public use of natural resources. These planning directives should ensure that West Melbourne’s natural resources are supported and enhanced in balance with development. West Melbourne recently celebrated its 50th year as a Florida community. The character of being a small city is supported by its natural resources and open spaces. While much of the community has been developed, the undeveloped portions of the City west of Interstate 95 continue to act as a buffer between Florida’s agricultural heartland and developed Atlantic coastal communities. West Melbourne is located on the western slope of the Atlantic Coastal Ridge, very near the plateau. Elevations range from approximately 23 feet to approximately 29 feet above the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD). The climate is subtropical, characterized by warm humid summers and dry mild winters. The average annual precipitation is 50.04 inches, mostly occurring in the rainy season from June to October. The climate has allowed tropical plant species to persist under the canopy of temperate zone trees in the hardwood areas. The City’s largest public environmental resource is Erna Nixon Park. The 52-acre park is home to a variety of native animal and vegetation. There is a large private conservation area west of I-95 which is home to wetland flora and fauna. The remainder of the City does not contain notable amounts of natural features which is due in part to the City’s agrarian roots.

  • Callicarpa Dichotoma 'Duet'
    U.S. National Arboretum Plant Introduction Callicarpa dichotoma 'Duet' The U.S. National Arboretum, in cooperation with Tennessee Technologi- cal University, presents 'Duet', a beautyberry with stable variegated foliage. In light shade or full sun, its lovely green and yellow leaves brighten the landscape throughout the summer season. Ease of propagation and low maintenance add to its symphony of charms. 'Duet' stars as a solo planting or as a mixed border or hedge, add- ing exciting contrast to your garden palette. Floral and Nursery Plants Research Unit U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, 3501 New York Ave., N.E., Washington, DC 20002 'Duet' Beautyberry Botanical Name: Callicarpa dichotoma 'Duet' (NA 72235; PI 651521) Family Verbenaceae Hardiness: USDA Zones 5-8 Development: A variegated sport of Callicarpa dichotoma 'Albifructus' was discov- ered at Tennessee Technological University in 2000 by Dr. Gary Bach- man and Mr. W. Edgar Davis. It was transferred to Dr. Sandra Reed for testing and evaluation in 2002. 'Duet' was released jointly by the U.S. National Arboretum and Tennessee Technological University on November 9, 2006. The cultivar name ‘Duet’ was registered in 2007 with the International Cultivar Registration Authority for unassigned genera. Significance: 'Duet' is the first stable variegated beautyberry. It was selected for its variegated foliage and tolerance to full sun. Like other Callicarpa, its disease and insect tolerant foliage make it an ideal plant for a low maintenance landscape. Description: Height and Width: 6 feet tall and 6.5 feet wide in 4 years. Habit: Deciduous, rounded shrub. Foliage: Medium green with distinct yellow margins.

(Rosales: Moraceae) were investigated for antitermitic activity against Reticulitermes favipes (Kollar) (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) in laboratory experiments. An ethanol:toluene (2:1) solvent system was used to remove extract from heartwood shavings. A concentration-dependent feeding response and mortality were observed for termites exposed to a concentration series range of 1.25 to 10 mg/ml of extract based on their dry weight. Results showed that maximum termite mortality occurred at 10 mg/ml. Based on the concentration series data, LC50 was calculated at 1.71 mg/ml. In flter paper feeding and repellency assays, extract signifcantly decreased the total number of gut protozoa compared with untreated and solvent controls. After feeding on flter paper treated at 10 mg/ml for 2 wk, protozoan populations were reduced by >55%. In choice and no-choice tests with mulberry heartwood, greater wood loss from termite feeding was found on solvent extracted blocks compared with nonextracted.
