  • Cedrus Atlantica 'Glauca'
    Fact Sheet ST-133 November 1993 Cedrus atlantica ‘Glauca’ Blue Atlas Cedar1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION A handsome evergreen with blue, bluish-green or light green foliage, ‘Glauca’ Atlas Cedar is perfect for specimen planting where it can grow without being crowded since the tree looks its best when branches are left on the tree to the ground (Fig. 1). This shows off the wonderful irregular, open pyramidal form with lower branches spreading about half the height. It grows rapidly when young, then slowly, reaching 40 to 60 feet tall by 30 to 40 feet wide. The trunk stays fairly straight with lateral branches nearly horizontal. Allow plenty of room for these trees to spread. They are best located as a lawn specimen away from walks, streets, and sidewalks so branches will not have to be pruned. It looks odd if lower branches are removed. Older trees become flat-topped and are a beautiful sight to behold. GENERAL INFORMATION Scientific name: Cedrus atlantica ‘Glauca’ Pronunciation: SEE-drus at-LAN-tih-kuh Common name(s): Blue Atlas Cedar Family: Pinaceae USDA hardiness zones: 6 through 8 (Fig. 2) Origin: not native to North America Uses: Bonsai; specimen Availability: generally available in many areas within Figure 1. Young Blue Atlas Cedar. its hardiness range DESCRIPTION Height: 40 to 60 feet Spread: 25 to 40 feet Crown uniformity: irregular outline or silhouette 1.

  • Podocarpus Totara
    Mike Marden and Chris Phillips [email protected] TTotaraotara Podocarpus totara INTRODUCTION AND METHODS Reasons for planting native trees include the enhancement of plant and animal biodiversity for conservation, establishment of a native cover on erosion-prone sites, improvement of water quality by revegetation of riparian areas and management for production of high quality timber. Signifi cant areas of the New Zealand landscape, both urban and rural, are being re-vegetated using native species. Many such plantings are on open sites where the aim is to quickly achieve canopy closure and often includes the planting of a mixture of shrubs and tree species concurrently. Previously, data have been presented showing the potential above- and below-ground growth performance of eleven native plant species considered typical early colonisers of bare ground, particularly in riparian areas (http://icm.landcareresearch.co.nz/research/land/Trial1results.asp). In this current series of posters we present data on the growth performance of six native conifer (kauri, rimu, totara, matai, miro, kahikatea) and two broadleaved hardwood (puriri, titoki) species most likely to succeed the early colonising species to become a major component in mature stands of indigenous forest (http://icm.landcareresearch.co.nz/research/land/ Trial2.asp). Data on the potential above- and below-ground early growth performance of colonising shrubby species together with that of conifer and broadleaved species will help land managers and community groups involved in re-vegetation projects in deciding the plant spacing and species mix most appropriate for the scale of planting and best suited to site conditions. Data are from a trial established in 2006 to assess the relative growth performance of native conifer and broadleaved hardwood tree species.

  • Exotic Pine Species for Georgia Dr
    Exotic Pine Species For Georgia Dr. Kim D. Coder, Professor of Tree Biology & Health Care, Warnell School, UGA Our native pines are wonderful and interesting to have in landscapes, along streets, in yards, and for plantation use. But our native pine species could be enriched by planting selected exotic pine species, both from other parts of the United States and from around the world. Exotic pines are more difficult to grow and sustain here in Georgia than native pines. Some people like to test and experiment with planting exotic pines. Pride of the Conifers Pines are in one of six families within the conifers (Pinales). The conifers are divided into roughly 50 genera and more than 500 species. Figure 1. Conifer families include pine (Pinaceae) and cypress (Cupressaceae) of the Northern Hemisphere, and podocarp (Podocarpaceae) and araucaria (Araucariaceae) of the Southern Hemisphere. The Cephalotaxaceae (plum-yew) and Sciadopityaceae (umbrella-pine) families are much less common. Members from all these conifer families can be found as ornamental and specimen trees in yards around the world, governed only by climatic and pest constraints. Family & Friends The pine family (Pinaceae) has many genera (~9) and many species (~211). Most common of the genera includes fir (Abies), cedar (Cedrus), larch (Larix), spruce (Picea), pine (Pinus), Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga), and hemlock (Tsuga). Of these genera, pines and hemlocks are native to Georgia. The pine genus (Pinus) contains the true pines. Pines (Pinus species) are found around the world almost entirely in the Northern Hemisphere. They live in many different places under highly variable conditions. Pines have been a historic foundation for industrial development and wealth building.

  • Pseudotsuga Menziesii)
    120 - PART 1. CONSENSUS DOCUMENTS ON BIOLOGY OF TREES Section 4. Douglas-Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) 1. Taxonomy Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirbel) Franco is generally called Douglas-fir (so spelled to maintain its distinction from true firs, the genus Abies). Pseudotsuga Carrière is in the kingdom Plantae, division Pinophyta (traditionally Coniferophyta), class Pinopsida, order Pinales (conifers), and family Pinaceae. The genus Pseudotsuga is most closely related to Larix (larches), as indicated in particular by cone morphology and nuclear, mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA phylogenies (Silen 1978; Wang et al. 2000); both genera also have non-saccate pollen (Owens et al. 1981, 1994). Based on a molecular clock analysis, Larix and Pseudotsuga are estimated to have diverged more than 65 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous to Paleocene (Wang et al. 2000). The earliest known fossil of Pseudotsuga dates from 32 Mya in the Early Oligocene (Schorn and Thompson 1998). Pseudostuga is generally considered to comprise two species native to North America, the widespread Pseudostuga menziesii and the southwestern California endemic P. macrocarpa (Vasey) Mayr (bigcone Douglas-fir), and in eastern Asia comprises three or fewer endemic species in China (Fu et al. 1999) and another in Japan. The taxonomy within the genus is not yet settled, and more species have been described (Farjon 1990). All reported taxa except P. menziesii have a karyotype of 2n = 24, the usual diploid number of chromosomes in Pinaceae, whereas the P. menziesii karyotype is unique with 2n = 26. The two North American species are vegetatively rather similar, but differ markedly in the size of their seeds and seed cones, the latter 4-10 cm long for P.

University of Blida I, Blida, Algeria 3Faculty of Science University, Mohamed V Rabat, Moroco _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT The authors have explored the relations existing between rate decay of three Atlas Cedar Cedrus atlantica districts at level of National Park of Theniet El had in north of Algeria, during sylvan campaign 2009/2010. District which represents the most important decay’s rate among the three ones, is “Guerouaou” district with 11.23% followed by “Tourssout” with a rate equal to 10.08% and “Pépinière” district with a rate equal to 0.73%. Decay presents a strong correlation with pH Kcl. Key words : Decay, edaphic factors, Cedrus atlantica , National Park of Theniet El Had, Algeria. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Atlas cedar covers a surface of 161.800 ha in North of Africa with 131.000 ha in Morocco and 30.800 ha in Algeria [11]. According to Nedjahi [14], Algerian Cedar forests are split up in scattered islands representing more of 1.2% of total forest area evaluated to 4.1 million hectares. Atlas Cedars populations are localized essentially in the Center and at East of Algeria, through different bioclimatic stages where they constitute beautiful forests when ecological conditions are favorable, [1, 2,13,20].

  • Here Before We Humans Were and Their Relatives Will Probably Be Here When We Are Gone
    The ‘mighty tōtara’ is one of our most extraordinary trees. Among the biggest and oldest trees in the New Zealand forest, the heart of Māori carving and culture, trailing no. 8 wire as fence posts on settler farms, clambered up in the Pureora protests of the 1980s: the story of New Zealand can be told through tōtara. Simpson tells that story like nobody else could. In words and pictures, through waka and leaves, farmers and carvers, he takes us deep inside the trees: their botany and evolution, their role in Māori life and lore, their uses by Pākehā, and their current status in our environment and culture. By doing so, Simpson illuminates the natural world and the story of Māori and Pākehā in this country. Our largest trees, the kauri Tāne Mahuta and the tōtara Pouakani, are both thought to be around 1000 years old. They were here before we humans were and their relatives will probably be here when we are gone. Tōtara has been central to life in this country for thousands of years. This book tells a great tree’s story, and that is our story too. Philip Simpson is a botanist and author of Dancing Leaves: The Story of New Zealand’s Cabbage Tree, Tī Kōuka (Canterbury University Press, 2000) and Pōhutukawa and Rātā: New Zealand’s Iron-hearted Trees (Te Papa Press, 2005). Both books won Montana Book Awards in the Environment category and Pōhutukawa and Rātā also won the Montana Medal for best non-fiction book. Simpson is unique in his ability to combine the scientific expertise of the trained botanist with a writer’s ability to understand the history of Māori and Pākehā interactions with the environment.

  • Trees of the Bible: a Cultural History by Dr
    Pub. No. 43 October 2016 Trees of the Bible: A Cultural History by Dr. Kim D. Coder, Professor of Tree Biology & Health Care Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources, University of Georgia In your backyard, within parks, hidden in forests, and along roadways, are local trees related to those mentioned in the Bible. More than 36 trees are mentioned throughout the Old and New Testa- ments. Some of these trees have relatives living here in the Southeastern United States. There is significant disagreement across time about identification of tree species mentioned in the Bible. In multiple translations from many places using different sources, some authors have reached different conclusions about what specific trees were mentioned in the Bible. The Bible is not a botanical treatise, and so modern tree identification accuracy is not relevant. Ancient Land The land of the Bible 3,000 years ago was starting to experience human development pressure, soil erosion and over-grazing which would lead to the landscapes of the modern Middle East. Natural resources present in great supply of the distant past have now dwindled to isolated remnants, included many tree species. Trees mentioned in the Bible can still be found in the wild places of the Middle East today. The Middle East area of the Bible can be generally described as historic Palestine. The area of Palestine today is made of several nations and many peoples. Historic Palestine was at the Eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea where Africa, Asia, and the Mediterranean Basin meet. This area has been cross roads for plant and plant product trade over millennium.
