  • Red Ring Disease of Coconut Palms Is Caused by the Red Ring Nematode (Bursaphelenchus Cocophilus), Though This Nematode May Also Be Known As the Coconut Palm Nematode
    1 Red ring disease of coconut palms is caused by the red ring nematode (Bursaphelenchus cocophilus), though this nematode may also be known as the coconut palm nematode. This disease was first described on coconut palms in 1905 in Trinidad and the association between the disease and the nematode was reported in 1919. The vector of the nematode is the South American palm weevil (Rhynchophorus palmarum), both adults and larvae. The nematode parasitizes the weevil which then transmits the nematode as it moves from tree to tree. Though the weevil may visit many different tree species, the nematode only infects members of the Palmae family. The nematode and South American palm weevil have not yet been observed in Florida. 2 Information Sources: Brammer, A.S. and Crow, W.T. 2001.

Many of the cut can greatly improve the chances of success when trans- problems encountered when transplanting broadleaf trees, planting palms. In addition, other factors—such as rootball such as wrapping roots, are never a problem in palms due size, leaf removal and tying, physiological age of the palm, to their different root morphology and architecture. While transplanting season, and planting depth—can also have a broadleaf trees typically have only a few large primary roots significant impact on the success of palm transplants. The originating from the base of the trunk, palm root systems purpose of this document is to discuss how these and other are entirely adventitious. In palms, large numbers of roots factors contribute to palm transplant survival rate. of a relatively small diameter are continually being initiated from a region at the base of the trunk, a region called the Transplanting Container-Grown root-initiation zone (Figure 1). And while the roots of broadleaf trees continually increase in diameter, palm roots Palms into the Landscape remain the same diameter as when they first emerged from Container-grown plants often have roots that wrap around the root-initiation zone. the inside of the container. In broadleaf trees, these large, wrapping roots must be cut prior to transplanting, or root distribution patterns and tree stability will be permanently affected. With container-grown palms, however, there is no need to cut such wrapping roots since large numbers of new, adventitious roots arising from the root initiation zone will initially supplement and will ultimately replace those early roots that were confined to the container.

  • Biolphilately Vol-64 No-3
    Vol. 66 (2) Biophilately June 2017 99 STAMP STORIES Jack R. Congrove, BU1424 On the cover is a quote from the 1934 movie, The Old Fashioned Way, starring W.C. Fields. The picture was produced by Paramount Pictures and based on a story written by Fields himself. In the film, Fields plays the manager of a traveling theater troupe one step ahead of its creditors. He ends up working as a “snake oil” saleman peddling “The Juice of the Cacti,” supposedly a great medicinal cure for hoarseness. Of course, his magic elixer was 98 percent alcohol and certainly nowhere in the remaining two percent was there any trace of cactus juice. Ironically, if his bottles had actually contained cactus juice, they would have provided the buyers with some genuine health benefits. Few people know the advantages of consuming cactus juice. Some nutritionists recommend that it be part of everyone’s diet because of its anti-inflammatory and nutritional properties. There are about 127 genera of cacti, all in the family Cactacea, with some 1,760 known species. The most prevalent culinary cactus species belong to the Opuntia genus and are commonly called “prickly pears.” Like all true cactus species, prickly pears are native only to the Americas, but they have been introduced to other parts of the world. Prickly pear species are abundant in Mexico, Opuntia sp. especially in the central and western regions, and also in the West Indies. Bernera Local, 1981 In the United States, prickly pears are native to many arid areas of the western United States, including the lower elevations of the Rocky Mountains, where species such as Opuntia phaeacantha and Opuntia polyacantha are dominant, and to the desert southwest, where several types are endemic.

  • Executive Summary
    Conservation Collier 7/21/14 Agenda Item V.D. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve the Five-year update of the Final Management Plan for the Conservation Collier Nancy Payton Preserve. OBJECTIVE: To obtain a recommendation of approval from the Conservation Collier Land Acquisition and Advisory Committee (CCLAAC) for the 5-year update for the Nancy Payton Preserve Final Management Plan, along with direction to approach the board of County Commissioners for approval. CONSIDERATIONS: The Nancy Payton Preserve, located in North Belle Meade, has been in County ownership since December 2005. A final Ten-year Management Plan was developed and approved by the CCLAAC 7/21/14 (Agenda Item VI.A.1.). The approved plan has been operational for the Nancy Payton Preserve since that time. The Conservation Collier ordinance 2002-63, as amended, in section 14.3, directs that “Ten-year Plans shall be updated at least every 5 years.” The attached plan has been updated pursuant to that direction. Updates reflect the change in Department from Facilities to Parks and Recreation, include updated maps, updated property status information, additions to plant or animal lists, status of exotic plant infestations, added amenities, provide for streamlining of text, and revision of the management budget to reflect the CCLAAC-approved Conservation Collier Financial Plan. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no new fiscal impact associated with approving this management plan update. Management costs are consistent with the CCLAAC-approved Conservation Collier Financial Plan. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this item. RECOMMENDATION: That the CCLAAC recommends approval for the attached proposed Five- year Final Management Plan for Conservation Collier’s Nancy Payton Preserve and directs staff to approach the Board of County Commissioners for approval.
