Hawthorn Berry Tree Hawthorn trees are a group in the genus Crataegus, which is actually in the Rose family. They are a smaller tree that grows 15 – 25 ft. tall and is often multi-trunked or has water sprouts (suckers). They flower in spring and produce tiny small red fruits that look like apples. After they leaf out they have showy white clusters of flowers. Carriere Hawthorn is a little more erect and opened branched with dark green leaves. Green Hawthorne (Winter King) grows a little bigger and has berries after the leaves fall off. Size: Depending on variety, normally grows 15’ – 35’ Exposure: Full sun How to Plant: Plant in fall to allow for deep roots to take hold. Pruning: Keep suckers trimmed and maintain shape. Water needs: regular watering Soil: Ordinary well drained garden soil is best. Planting in somewhat lean conditions is best. Fertilization: No regular fertilizing required. Do not over fertilize. Snapshot: This time of year they can easily be spotted with fall color and beautiful little red berries. Hawthorns are normally a smaller, twiggy type of tree that often has suckers if left unattended. Most grow in a wide variety of zones, 1-14 and 14-17 depending on variety. Hawthorns grow in almost any soil as long as they are well drained. Rich soil, excess water and too much fertilizer will result in excess growth, suckers and fireblight. If you would like to take a look at them, go by the CVS parking lot in Angel Camp and view the beautiful berries on these lovely trees. Novella Springer Calaveras Master Gardener San Andreas.

"National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

Native Trees of Georgia
1 NATIVE TREES OF GEORGIA By G. Norman Bishop Professor of Forestry George Foster Peabody School of Forestry University of Georgia Currently Named Daniel B. Warnell School of Forest Resources University of Georgia GEORGIA FORESTRY COMMISSION Eleventh Printing - 2001 Revised Edition 2 FOREWARD This manual has been prepared in an effort to give to those interested in the trees of Georgia a means by which they may gain a more intimate knowledge of the tree species. Of about 250 species native to the state, only 92 are described here. These were chosen for their commercial importance, distribution over the state or because of some unusual characteristic. Since the manual is intended primarily for the use of the layman, technical terms have been omitted wherever possible; however, the scientific names of the trees and the families to which they belong, have been included. It might be explained that the species are grouped by families, the name of each occurring at the top of the page over the name of the first member of that family. Also, there is included in the text, a subdivision entitled KEY CHARACTERISTICS, the purpose of which is to give the reader, all in one group, the most outstanding features whereby he may more easily recognize the tree. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author wishes to express his appreciation to the Houghton Mifflin Company, publishers of Sargent’s Manual of the Trees of North America, for permission to use the cuts of all trees appearing in this manual; to B. R. Stogsdill for assistance in arranging the material; to W.

Fruits: Kinds and Terms
FRUITS: KINDS AND TERMS THE IMPORTANT PART OF THE LIFE CYCLE OFTEN IGNORED Technically, fruits are the mature ovaries of plants that contain ripe seeds ready for dispersal • Of the many kinds of fruits, there are three basic categories: • Dehiscent fruits that split open to shed their seeds, • Indehiscent dry fruits that retain their seeds and are often dispersed as though they were the seed, and • Indehiscent fleshy fruits that turn color and entice animals to eat them, meanwhile allowing the undigested seeds to pass from the animal’s gut We’ll start with dehiscent fruits. The most basic kind, the follicle, contains a single chamber and opens by one lengthwise slit. The columbine seed pods, three per flower, are follicles A mature columbine follicle Milkweed seed pods are also large follicles. Here the follicle hasn’t yet opened. Here is the milkweed follicle opened The legume is a similar seed pod except it opens by two longitudinal slits, one on either side of the fruit. Here you see seeds displayed from a typical legume. Legumes are only found in the pea family Fabaceae. On this fairy duster legume, you can see the two borders that will later split open. Redbud legumes are colorful before they dry and open Lupine legumes twist as they open, projecting the seeds away from the parent The bur clover modifies its legumes by coiling them and providing them with hooked barbs, only opening later as they dry out. The rattlepods or astragaluses modify their legumes by inflating them for wind dispersal, later opening to shed their seeds.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Hawthorn (Crataegus oxyacantha) is a widely used Chinese herb for treatment of gastrointestinal ailments and heart problems and consumed as food. In North America, the role of treatment for heart problems dates back to 1800. Currently, evidence is accumulating from various in vivo and in vitro studies that hawthorn extracts exert a wide range of cardiovascular pharmacological properties, including antioxidant activity, positive inotropic effect, anti-inflammatory effect, anticardiac remodeling effect, antiplatelet aggregation effect, vasodilating effect, endothelial protective effect, reduction of smooth muscle cell migration and proliferation, protective effect against ischemia/reperfusion injury, antiarrhythmic effect, lipid-lowering effect and decrease of arterial blood pressure effect. On the other hand, reviews of placebo-controlled trials have reported both subjective and objective improvement in patients with mild forms of heart failure (NYHA I–III), hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. This paper discussed the underlying pharmacology mechanisms in potential cardioprotective effects and elucidated the clinical applications of Crataegus and its various extracts.

Berries and Health: a Review of the Evidence
Berries and Health: A review of the evidence Gordon J. McDougall and Derek Stewart Environmental and Biochemical Sciences Group, Enhancing Crop Productivity and Utilisation Theme, The James Hutton Institute, Invergowrie, Dundee, DD2 5DA, UK 1 Introduction Berries already benefit from a “health halo” which is partly associated with a general recognition that fruit is good for us and that they are popular and palatable way to increase intake. In addition soft fruit and health have long established associations steeped in traditions with strong linkages to Scottish1 and world folklore (see http://www.fruit.cornell.edu/berry/production/pdfs/berryfolklore.pdf). Indeed, many traditional or folk medicines have used berries in remedies for a range of health issues2. For example, North American indigenous peoples have used berries from the Rubus species as treatments against diarrhoea and for pain relief. However, evidence has accrued over the last twenty years highlighting that components from berries have measurable beneficial effects on health3. This report provides a short overview of the current evidence. In botanical terms, “berries” are defined as a fleshy fruit that arises from the entire plant ovary that surrounds the seeds and therefore true berries include bananas, grapes, blueberries, black currants and coffee beans. In this review, we use the common usage of “berries” and this includes soft fruits with multiple seeds including strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, black currants, blackberries etc. Strawberries are the most popular berries in the UK market but there have been consistent increases in sales of other berries (http://www.internationalsupermarketnews.com/news/4680) and indeed in a range of “berry-plus” products.

American Forests National Big Tree Program Species Without Champions
American Forests National Big Tree Program Champion trees are the superstars of their species — and there are more than 700 of them in our national register. Each champion is the result of a lucky combination: growing in a spot protected by the landscape or by people who have cared about and for it, good soil, the right amount of water, and resilience to the elements, surviving storms, disease and pests. American Forests National Big Tree Program was founded to honor these trees. Since 1940, we have kept the only national register of champion trees (http://www.americanforests.org/explore- forests/americas-biggest-trees/champion-trees-national-register/) Champion trees are found by people just like you — school teachers, kids fascinated by science, tree lovers of all ages and even arborists for whom a fun day off is measuring the biggest tree they can find. You, too, can become a big tree hunter and compete to find new champions. Species without Champions (March, 2018) Gold rows indict species that have Idaho State Champions but the nominations are too old to be submitted for National Champion status.

Crataegus Laevigata 'Crimson Cloud' 'Crimson Cloud' English Hawthorn
Fact Sheet ST-211 November 1993 Crataegus laevigata ‘Crimson Cloud’ ‘Crimson Cloud’ English Hawthorn1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION Crimson Cloud (also known as ‘Superba’) English Hawthorn grows rapidly in a pyramidal form to about 20 feet, then the crown expands to become oval or irregular (Fig. 1). The tree tolerates most soils, growing well in clay, but prefers heavy, dry loam. The main ornamental feature is white and red flowers borne in spring which together give the tree a deep pink color. Fruits are red and quite showy but do not cover the tree. Though quite ornamental, Hawthorns are susceptible to insect and disease problems. Branching habit is decidedly drooping and care should be given when locating this tree near pedestrian or vehicular traffic. GENERAL INFORMATION Figure 1.
