Recommended Tree Species List RECOMMENDED TREE SPECIES LIST Compiled by Dr. Paul Cappiello, University of Maine and Dr. Rick Churchill, Southern Maine Technical College The trees are listed by common and scientific names including cultivars where appropriate. The cultivars noted are recommended over the parent stock. The height and spread figures are accurate where the tree is growing on a favorable site. ABBREVIATIONS FOR THE MOST APPROPRIATE SITE ARE: S: Street Tree P: Park Tree D: Tolerates dry conditions W: Tolerates wet conditions WD: prefers well-drained soils Where a tree is designated a park tree, it is done so because of its size or its intolerance to such things as salt or pollution. If a tree of this type is used as a stree tree, make certain it is used on the side of the street opposite the utilities and set back from the road. The zone designation utilizes the U.S.D.A. hardiness map zones.

  • Common Pines of Massachusetts by GORDON P
    Common Pines of Massachusetts by GORDON P. DEWOLF, JR. We tend to take wood for granted; or, if we are very modem, to assume that steel, aluminum, and plastics have made wood obsolete. Such is not the case, and, although wood may not seem very important in a stainless steel and glass office build- ing, it still provides shelter and comfort for most of us. To the English colonists who settled New England, wood was a vital commodity that shaped their future in an alien land. The trees that they encountered were usually in vast tracts, and some were totally different from any they had known in England. - The colonists’ need to clear land for gardens and pastures, combined with the fact that Spain, Portugal and the British West Indies were experiencing a lumber shortage, encouraged the development of a thriving export trade in timber products. White oak barrel staves to make barrels for wine, molasses, and rum were one of the most valuable New England exports. Old England seemed to be interested in only one commodity, how- ever : white pine logs for masts. Until the settlement of the American colonies, Britain had obtained most of her ship building timber either locally or from various ports around the Baltic Sea. With the growth of popu- lation and empire, the numbers and sizes of ships increased. One of the most serious problems for the ship builder was the availability of suitable masts. At the end of the Colonial period a First Rate ship carrying 120 guns required a main mast 40 inches in diameter and 40 yards (120 ft.) long.

  • Effect of Pine Fruits on Some Biological Changes in Hypercholesterolemia
    Effect of pine fruits on some biological changes in hypercholesterolemia rats induced Omar Ahmed Emam, Ahmed Mohamed Gaafer , Ghada Mahmoud Elbassiony and Mashael Mobard Ahmed El-Fadly Effect of pine fruits on some biological changes in hypercholesterolemia rats induced Omar Ahmed Emam1, Ahmed Mohamed Gaafer2, Ghada Mahmoud Elbassiony1 and Mashael Mobard Ahmed El-Fadly1 1Department of Home Economics, Faculty of Specific Education, Benha University, Benha, Egypt; 2Research Institute of Food Technology , Agricultural Research Center, Giza, Egypt Abstract his study aimed to determine chemical composition, antioxidant contents, fatty acids of pine nut fruits and also, the effect of pine powder with different ratio T (3, 6 and 9%) on biochemical changes of hypercholesterolemic rats. Biological evaluation of growth performance, Lipid profile, serum protein, blood sugars, liver and kidney functions were also studied. The obtained results indicated that pine nut fruits are considered as a good source of oils, crude fibers, ash, protein, soluble carbohydrates, total energy polyphenols and flavonoids. Besides, it is a rich source of unsaturated fatty acids mainly, linoleic acid (C18:2) which represent more than half amount of total fatty acids. Biological evaluations showed that pine nut was significantly decreased (P ≤ 0.05) of body weight, total lipids, triglycerides, LDL, HDL, VLDL cholesterol of serum hypercholesterolemic rats as compared with positive group of rats Also, it caused significant decrease (P ≤ 0.05) in liver enzyme (AST, ALT and ALP) and kidney parameters (urea, uric acid and creatinine, i.e. improved liver and kidney functions as compared with positive control group. Meanwhile, both total protein and albumin were increased.

  • A Comparative Study of the Primary Vascular System Of
    ArneI'. J. Bot. 5.5(4): 447-457. 1968. A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE PRIMARY VASCULAR SYSTElVI OF CONIFERS. 1. GENERA WITH HELICAL PHYLLOTAXISl KADAMBARI K. N AMBOODIRI2 AND CHARLES B. BECK Department of Botany, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor ABSTRACT The primary vascular system of 23 species belonging to 18 genera of conifers with helical phyllotaxis has been investigated with the intent of determining the architecture .f the system. Special attention has been given to nodal and subnodal relations of the vascular bundles. The vascular system seems to be composed solely of relatively discrete sympodia, that is, axial vascu­ lar bundles from which leaf traces branch unilaterally. Although the discreteness of the syrn­ podia is not immediately apparent because of their undulation and lateral contacts with neigh­ boring ones, close examination, including a statistical analysis of the tangential contacts, seems to reveal that each sympodium maintains its identity throughout. Although two traces may be apparent at nodal levels, the trace supply to a leaf originates, in all species, as a single bundle. An analysis is made of the relationship between the vasculature and the phyllotaxis. It is ob­ served that the direction of trace divergence can be accurately predicted when the direction of the ontogenetic spiral, the angle of divergence of leaf traces, and the number of syrnpodia are known. THE ORIGIN and evolution of gymnosperms that of the ferns by reduction (Jeffrey, 1902, are significant problems that deserve increased 1917). Consequently, he considered the leaf gap attention. There have been few modern compara­ of seed plants to be homologous with that of tive studies of extant gymnosperms, and most the ferns.
