Fossil Creek Tree Farm Coppertone Loquat Coppertone Loquat Rhaphiolepis 'Coppertone' Height: 20 feet Spread: 20 feet Sunlight: Hardiness Zone: 7b Other Names: Eriobotrya deflexa x Rhaphiolepis indica Description: Coppertone Loquat A large evergreen shrub or small tree that produces Photo courtesy of NetPS Plant Finder clusters of soft pink flowers in spring; bright reddish-orange new foliage matures to a deep glossy green; maroon winter foliage; an excellent accent tree, or screen; shown to be leaf spot resistant Ornamental Features Coppertone Loquat features showy clusters of fragrant shell pink flowers with white overtones at the ends of the branches from late winter to early spring. It has attractive dark green foliage which emerges red in spring. The glossy oval leaves are highly ornamental and remain dark green throughout the winter. The fruit is not ornamentally significant. Landscape Attributes Coppertone Loquat is a multi-stemmed evergreen tree with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition. This is a relatively low maintenance tree, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season's flowers. It is a good choice for attracting bees and butterflies to your yard. It has no significant negative characteristics. Coppertone Loquat is recommended for the following landscape applications; - Accent - Hedges/Screening - General Garden Use Planting & Growing Coppertone Loquat will grow to be about 20 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 20 feet. It has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 2 feet from the ground, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years. This tree does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions, and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid..

  • Loquat (Eriobotrya Japonica) Is a New Natural Host of Apple Stem Pitting Virus
    plants Brief Report Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) Is a New Natural Host of Apple Stem Pitting Virus Félix Morán , Celia Canales, Antonio Olmos and Ana Belén Ruiz-García * Centro de Protección Vegetal y Biotecnología, Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Agrarias (IVIA), Ctra. Moncada-Náquera km 4.5, Moncada, 46113 Valencia, Spain; [email protected] (F.M.); [email protected] (C.C.); [email protected] (A.O.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 29 September 2020; Accepted: 11 November 2020; Published: 13 November 2020 Abstract: Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) is a minor but important woody crop cultivated in Asia and Europe. High-throughput sequencing (HTS) analysis of an asymptomatic loquat plant using RNAseq Illumina technology has allowed the detection for the first time of apple stem pitting virus (ASPV), the type species of the genus Foveavirus in the family Betaflexiviridae, infecting this crop. A nearly complete genome of 9303 nts (ASPV-SL61) reconstructed bioinformatically shows the typical genomic structure of this viral species and a highest nucleotide identity (85.9%) with the Chinese ASPV isolate YLX from pear. A close phylogenetic relationship between ASPV-SL61 and ASPV-YLX has been confirmed by the sequence analysis of full-length ASPV genomic sequences available in the databases. In fact, a phylogenetic study based on a partial CP N-terminal sequence previously proposed to be involved in host adaptation has shown that ASPV-SL61 loquat isolate is more closely related to ASPV pear isolates. The presence of ASPV in loquat has been further confirmed by RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing and DAS-ELISA. An incidence of 15% was determined in one of the loquat Spanish growing areas.

  • 1 of 2 Loquat and Tropical Fruit Trees
    Loquat and Tropical Fruit Trees Loquat, Japanese Plum Eriobotrya japonica Family: Rosaceae Origin: China Season: Small to medium sized, well-shaped rounded tree. Large 10-12 long, stiff leaves, dark green above, whitish underneath. Yellow to orange color fruit, somewhat pear-shaped, 2 long and 1 1/2 across with 1 to 3 seeds. Moderately fast growth, salt tolerant for coastal plantings. Location: Loquats are wind tolerant and grow best in full sun, but also do well in partial shade. The round headed trees can be used to shade a patio. Loquats also make attractive espaliers. Fruit may be thinned to increase size. Many varieties. The loquat should really be used more, the fruit is especially good just eaten out of hand or in poultry casseroles. Harvest: Loquat fruits should be allowed to ripen fully before harvesting. They reach maturity in about 90 days from full flower opening. When ripe the fruit develops a distinctive color, depending on the cultivar, and begins to soften. Unripe fruits do not ripen properly off the tree and are excessively acid. Harvest time in Texas is from March to May. The fruit is difficult to separate from the cluster stems without tearing and must be carefully clipped individually or the whole cluster removed and the fruit then snipped off. Ripe fruit may be stored in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 weeks. The orange fruit resembles an apricot when it is ready for picking because of its orange color. The loquat is comparable to the apple in many aspects, with a high sugar, acid and pectin content.

FOXFIRE: THE SELECTED POEMS OF YOSA BUSON A TRANSLATION By Allan Persinger A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee May 2013 ABSTRACT FOXFIRE: THE SELECTED POEMS OF YOSA BUSON A TRANSLATION By Allan Persinger The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2013 Under the Supervision of Professor Kimberly M. Blaeser My dissertation is a creative translation from Japanese into English of the poetry of Yosa Buson, an 18th century (1716 – 1783) poet. Buson is considered to be one of the most important of the Edo Era poets and is still influential in modern Japanese literature. By taking account of Japanese culture, identity and aesthetics the dissertation project bridges the gap between American and Japanese poetics, while at the same time revealing the complexity of thought in Buson's poetry and bringing the target audience closer to the text of a powerful and mov- ing writer.

  • Forest Structures, Composition, and Distribution on a Pacific Island, with Reference to Ecological Release and Speciation!
    Pacific Science (1991), vol. 45, no. 1: 28-49 © 1991 by University of Hawaii Press. All rights reserved Forest Structures, Composition, and Distribution on a Pacific Island, with Reference to Ecological Release and Speciation! YOSHIKAZU SHIMIZU2 AND HIDEO TABATA 3 ABSTRACT: Native forest and scrub of Chichijima, the largest island in the Bonins, were classified into five types based on structural features: Elaeocarpus­ Ardisia mesic forest, 13-16 m high, dominated by Elaeocarpus photiniaefolius and Ardisia sieboldii; Pinus-Schima mesic forest, 12-16 m high, consisting of Schima mertensiana and an introduced pine , Pinus lutchuensis; Rhaphiolepis­ Livistonia dry forest, 2-6 m high, mainly occupied by Rhaphiolepis indica v. integerrima; Distylium-Schima dry forest, 3-8 m high, dominated by Distylium lepidotum and Schima mertensiana; and Distylium-Pouteria dry scrub, 0.3­ 1.5 m high, mainly composed of Distylium lepidotum. A vegetation map based on this classification was developed. Species composition and structural features of each type were analyzed in terms of habitat condition and mechanisms of regeneration. A group of species such as Pouteria obovata, Syzgygium buxifo­ lium, Hibiscus glaber, Rhaphiolepis indica v. integerrima, and Pandanus boninen­ sis, all with different growth forms from large trees to stunted shrubs, was subdominant in all vegetation types. Schima mertensiana , an endemic pioneer tree, occurred in both secondary forests and climax forests as a dominant canopy species and may be an indication of "ecological release," a characteristic of oceanic islands with poor floras and little competitive pressure. Some taxonomic groups (Callicarpa, Symplocos, Pittosporum, etc.) have speciated in the under­ story of Distylium-Schima dry forest and Distylium-Pouteria dry scrub.

  • Plant and Landscape Guide Rancho Santa Fe, California, Is Considered to Be in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone Because of Its Unique Characteristics
    Plant and Landscape Guide Rancho Santa Fe, California, is considered to be in a very high fire hazard severity zone because of its unique characteristics. It is considered a Wildland Urban Interface area because of the proximity of the natural chaparral vegetation to developed areas, often immediately abutting structures. Additionally, warm coastal weather, Santa Ana winds, mountainous terrain, and steep slopes contribute to the very high fire hazard severity zone designation. DistrictIn an effort (RSFFPD) to protect does homes not allow from certain a future types devastating of trees, Wildlandplants, or fire shrubs such to as be the ones experienced in 2003 and 2007, the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection planted within certain distances of structures.
