  • Climate Ready Trees for Central Valley Communities
    The goal of this study is to evaluate the survival and growth of seldom used but promising trees in the Central Valley. We can create more resilient Climate Ready Trees for urban forests by shifting the palate of trees planted to those proven to Central Valley Communities perform best when exposed to climate stressors such as heat, drought, high winds, pests, disease and soil salinity. 1. Mulga (Acacia aneura) Mulga is native to arid Western Australia and tolerates hot and dry conditions. It can grow in sandy, loam, or clay soil types. This versatile and hardy tree produces ascending thornless branches and grows 15 to 20 feet in height. The evergreen foliage is gray-green and the tree has yellow flowers in the spring. Maintain leader to avoid suckering. 2. Netleaf Hackberry (Celtis reticulata) The Netleaf Hackberry is native to riparian areas in the Southwest. A deciduous tree, it reaches heights of 25 to 35 feet with a spreading or weeping canopy. The ovate leaves are medium green and turn yellow in the fall. The flowers mature into red drupes that attract birds. The Netleaf Hackberry is drought tolerant and able to thrive in variety of soil types. 3. Desert Willow (Chilopsis linearis ‘Bubba’) The Desert Willow is a small flowering desert tree native to California and the Southwest. The cultivar Bubba can reach 25 to 30 feet with a spread of 20 to 25 feet. It has profuse, long- lasting blooms. The showy flowers are pink and white. Leaves are linear blue green and turn golden in the fall.

  • POMEGRANATE Did You Know: Breaking Into a Pomegranate Will Reward You with Hundreds of Tiny Seeds (Called Arils) Surrounded by a Translucent Pith
    TRY THIS: POMEGRANATE Did you know: breaking into a pomegranate will reward you with hundreds of tiny seeds (called arils) surrounded by a translucent pith. The arils are sweet and juice-packed with a white crunchy seed inside. Most people eat the whole aril, including the fiber-rich seed, but you can also spit the seed out. Pomegranates are an excellent source of fiber, vitamin C and K, also packing in a good source of potassium, folate, and copper. Give them a try- they are easy to use and their taste won’t disappoint. How to: Pick it: Choose pomegranates that are plump, round, heavy for their size, and have a glossy, deep red skin. Store it: Store it in a cool dry cupboard to stay fresh for several weeks or in your fridge for up to 2 months Use it: To free the tiny seeds and avoid spraying yourself with the seed’s juice place a halved or quartered pomegranate in a bowl of water. Once in the water, simply use your fingers to loosen the red seeds. The seeds will sink, the white pith floats. Enjoy the seeds by popping a few in your mouth, topping onto salads or yogurt, or trying one of the recipes below! When it’s in season: August to January POMEGRANATE CHICKEN SALAD POMEGRANATE SALSA Servings: 6 Servings: about 10 Ingredients: Ingredients: 1 c. canned pineapple tidbits, drained, juice reserved 1 ¾ c. pomegranate seeds (from 2 pomegranates) 3 c. cooked chicken, diced 1/3 c. 100% pomegranate juice ½ c. diced celery Juice of 1 lime 1 c.

SHAILAJA DOMBE 1*, PRAJAKTA KIRAVE 2. 1*, 2 Department of Pharmaceutics, Arvind Gavali College of Pharmacy, Satara. Abstract Recently cancer is measure cause leading to death, So Herbal formulations always have been attracted considerable attention because of their good activity and comparatively lesser or nil side effect with drug. Herbal formulation of Brassica juncea along with natural pomegranate syrup and carrageen as natural gelling agent was prepared. The prepared Oral medicated jellies have significant advantages of both solid and liquid dosage forms which were prepared by simple method using extract of Brassica juncea powder and pomegranate syrup. For all formulations, physical appearance, stickiness, pH, viscosity and In-vitro dissolution studies were assessed. The physical examination of the all batches was giving the potential results but, the optimized Batch B jelly gives best result as compared to other batch. From above result, it was concluded that the optimized medicated jelly having 97.17% dissolution rate showed significant anticancer and Neutraceuticals activities and hence will be safe and effective than allopathic medications.
