It has dark green foliage throughout the season. The oval leaves turn an outstanding brick red in the fall. It produces red berries from late summer to late fall. Landscape Attributes European Cotoneaster is a multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with a shapely form and gracefully arching branches. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other landscape plants with less refined foliage. This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and is best European Cotoneaster pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has Photo courtesy of NetPS Plant passed.

  • An Overview of the Genus Cotoneaster (Rosaceae): Phytochemistry, Biological Activity, and Toxicology
    antioxidants Review An Overview of the Genus Cotoneaster (Rosaceae): Phytochemistry, Biological Activity, and Toxicology Agnieszka Kicel Department of Pharmacognosy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Medical University of Lodz, 1 Muszynskiego, 90-151 Lodz, Poland; [email protected] Received: 18 September 2020; Accepted: 13 October 2020; Published: 16 October 2020 Abstract: Traditional herbal medicines have become a subject of global importance with both medical and economic implications. The regular consumption of herbal drugs has led to serious concerns regarding their quality, effectiveness, and safety. Thus, relevant scientific evidence has become an important criterion for the acceptance of traditional health claims. The genus Cotoneaster Medikus provides numerous species traditionally used in Asian medicine for the treatment of haemorrhoids, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. This review summarises the achievements of modern research on the Cotoneaster taxa, including ethnobotany, phytochemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology. To date, more than 90 compounds have been isolated or analytically identified in Cotoneaster leaves, fruits, flowers or twigs. These phytochemicals are categorised into flavonoids, procyanidins, phenolic acids, cotonefurans, cyanogenic glycosides, triterpenes, sterols, fatty acids, volatile compounds, and carbohydrates, and many of them are responsible for Cotoneaster pharmacological properties including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiparasitic, hepatoprotective, anti-diabetic or anti-dyslipidaemic

Naturforsch. 67 c, 187 – 194 (2012); received June 6, 2011/January 13, 2012 The aim of this study was to characterize genetically Bulgarian Erwinia amylovora strains using pulsed-fi eld gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis. Fifty E. amylovora strains isolated from different hosts, locations, as well as in different years were analysed by PFGE after XbaI, SpeI, and XhoI digestion of the genomic DNA. The strains were distributed into four groups according to their XbaI-generated profi le. About 82% of the strains displayed a PFGE profi le identical to that of type Pt2. Three strains belonged to the Central Europe Pt1 type. Two new PFGE profi les, not reported so far, were established – one for a strain isolated from Malus domestica and another for all Fragaria spp. strains. The same grouping of the strains was obtained after analysis of the SpeI digestion patterns. On the basis of PFGE profi les, after XbaI and SpeI digestion, a genetic differentiation between the strains associated with subfamily Maloideae and subfamily Rosoideae was revealed. The presence of more than one PFGE profi le in the population of E.

  • Fire Resistance of Plants Master Database and Placement Of
    Fire Resistance of Plants Master Database & Placement of Species Within Firewise Landscape Zones For Southern Idaho Idaho residents who live in or near the urban/rangeland interface endure higher risk for fire-related property damage, as well as greater peril to their families, pets and livestock. Understanding those risks and making changes in landscaping techniques can help keep rangeland fires from becoming disasters at home. The figure below shows a Firewise Landscape Design using a progression of "Zones". This Database has been developed as tool for homeowners, property managers and the landscape nursery industry to utilize for plant species and placement choices within a Firewise Landscape using the Zone concept shown above. As a cooperative project with the Bureau of Land Management, the College of Western Idaho Horticulture and the Idaho Botanical Garden, extensive research and testing of over 400 species and cultivars are included in this database and summarize a list of species suggested for each Firewise Landscape Zone. Plant species have been organized by plant type from more fire resistant to less fire resistant as shown above.

Introduction Cotoneaster divaricatus Exotic, invasive plant species have a negative impact on biodiversity, economy and/or public health. Cotoneaster species are potentially invasive alien plant species. For this reason the Invasive Alien Species Team of the Netherlands Food and Con- sumer Product Safety Authority has requested a risk assessment for Cotoneaster. The current risk assessment will focus on the situation in the Netherlands and discuss the following subjects: • Determination of what Cotoneaster species are potentially invasive in the Netherlands • Probability of entry • Probability of establishment in the Netherlands • Probability of spread • Identification of endangered areas based on the results of the probabilities of entry, establishment and spread • I mpact of Cotoneaster spp.

  • Optigrün Technical Brochure
    WELL THOUGHT-OUT SOLUTION FROM GREEN ROOFING EXPERTS TECHNICAL BROCHURE DEAR READERS, Isn’t it incredible how the Green Roof business has taken off? We’ve gone from a niche market that few people took seriously to being the focus of widespread attention. The German government is taking an active role with the publication of its white paper entitled “Green Cities”. The construction industry is booming. Demand for green structures is higher than ever – and not only in Germany. Hardly anything is left to remind us of those days, almost 50 years ago, when we started out as a small team trying to get people interested in the concept of Green Roofs. The market has grown immensely – and so have we. These days, we green over 3.7 million square metres of roof a year in locations all around the world. It fills me with pride to know that we have become the market leader in our industry. Our technical brochure has experienced some big changes, too. It has been completely overhauled and expanded to give you an even better compen- dium of greening solutions. We hope that you find it useful for your own Green Roof projects. Of course, we’re always here for you if you need any further assistance. We look forward to your enquiries.
