Sorbus Aria Lutescens Whitebeam Sorbus aria Lutescens Whitebeam Sorbus aria Lutescens is a variety of the common Whitebeam, a small-medium sized tree native to Britain and Europe. This is a very popular tree as it has few demands and can tolerate wind, heat, dry soils and alkaline. It requires little maintenance and this, combined with its uniform conical crown, make it an excellent suggestion for urban planting as well as park and garden settings. Sorbus aria Lutescens grows best on lime rich soils, and will thrive on chalk. When the foliage emerges in spring, it is silvery with both sides of the leaves covered in small downy hairs and has a very striking presence. As it moves into summer, the elliptical leaves shed the hairs on the upper surface but maintainthe silver-white underside. Clusters of scented white flowers are produced in May, followed by bunches of orange-red fruits, popular with the birds. The Autumn colour is yellow-brown and the leaves tend to be among the first to fall. Sorbus aria Lutescens—a superb choice for urban planting Plant Profile Name: Sorbus aria Lutescens Common Name: Whitebeam Family: Rosaceae Height: approximately 10-12m Demands: Tolerant of a range of conditions. Thrives on well drained chalk soils Foliage: Elliptical, covered in fine silver hairs Flower: Clusters of small white flowers in May Fruit: Orange-red berries follow the flowers, ripening in autumn.

  • Tically Expands Our Understanding on Virosphere in Temperate Forest Ecosystems
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 21 June 2021 doi:10.20944/preprints202106.0526.v1 Review Towards the forest virome: next-generation-sequencing dras- tically expands our understanding on virosphere in temperate forest ecosystems Artemis Rumbou 1,*, Eeva J. Vainio 2 and Carmen Büttner 1 1 Faculty of Life Sciences, Albrecht Daniel Thaer-Institute of Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Ber- lin, Germany; [email protected], [email protected] 2 Natural Resources Institute Finland, Latokartanonkaari 9, 00790, Helsinki, Finland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Forest health is dependent on the variability of microorganisms interacting with the host tree/holobiont. Symbiotic mi- crobiota and pathogens engage in a permanent interplay, which influences the host. Thanks to the development of NGS technol- ogies, a vast amount of genetic information on the virosphere of temperate forests has been gained the last seven years. To estimate the qualitative/quantitative impact of NGS in forest virology, we have summarized viruses affecting major tree/shrub species and their fungal associates, including fungal plant pathogens, mutualists and saprotrophs. The contribution of NGS methods is ex- tremely significant for forest virology. Reviewed data about viral presence in holobionts, allowed us to address the role of the virome in the holobionts. Genetic variation is a crucial aspect in hologenome, significantly reinforced by horizontal gene transfer among all interacting actors. Through virus-virus interplays synergistic or antagonistic relations may evolve, which may drasti- cally affect the health of the holobiont. Novel insights of these interplays may allow practical applications for forest plant protec- tion based on endophytes and mycovirus biocontrol agents.

  • COMMON NAME: European Larch SCIENTIFIC NAME: Larix Decidua FAMILY: Pinaceae
    COMMON NAME: European larch SCIENTIFIC NAME: Larix decidua FAMILY: Pinaceae Mature size: Height: up to 70 feet. Spread: 25 feet wide or wider at maturity. The top three European larches on Colorado’s Champion Tree Registry are all over 70 feet tall and 45 feet wide. This tree in Colorado: The European larch is an under-utilized conversation piece in Colorado. It functions very effectively in larger landscapes as specimens or groupings. Like the majority of trees, it performs best in acidic, established soils. Once established, the larch requires only moderate moisture, making it an easy fit for most manicured landscapes. The European larch should be transplanted when dormant, as planting during the growing season can result in severe shock. There are no significant diseases of larches present in Colorado and few elsewhere. One precautionary note: although the European larch requires a sunny location, it languishes in heat and should not be sited in areas that will receive reflective heat; it is best in established areas with larger trees (a cooler micro-climate). Hardiness: Zones 3A to 6. Quite cold-hardy and needs to be protected from reflective heat. Growth rate, form, and size: Larches grow quickly in comparison to most other conifers and can gain two feet of height in a growing season. This tree will be gracefully pyramidal with drooping branchlets in its youth, and it becomes more rigid and open as it reaches maturity. Foliage: Sprays of single needles cluster along the branches, emerging as a bright green in spring, turning deeper green and finally yellow or orange in fall.

(2019): The reaction of different Sorbus L. species to low temperatures during thaw in the Orel region. J. For. Sci., 65: 218–225. Abstract: Five Sorbus L. species of different ecological and geographical origin growing in the VNIISPK arboretum were studied. The Institute is located 368 km southwest of Moscow, on the Central Russian upland in the European part of Russia. The studies were carried out in 2014–2016. The reaction of different Sorbus L. species to a three-day thaw +2°C with a subsequent decrease in temperature to –25°C in February and –30°C in March was studied in or- der to identify adapted species to the climatic conditions of the Orel region for use in ornamental horticulture. As a result of the experiment, we recommend Sorbus aria (L.) Crantz, Sorbus aucuparia L. and Sorbus alnifolia (Siebold. et Zucc.) K.

Email: [email protected] * Nomenclature of vascular plants follows Stace (2010) and, for non-British species, Flora Europaea. Summary 1. This account presents information on all aspects of the biology of Sorbus torminalis (L.) Crantz (Wild Service-tree) that are relevant to understanding its ecological characteristics and behaviour. The main topics are presented within the standard framework of the Biological Flora of the British Isles: distribution, habitat, communities, responses to biotic factors, responses to environment, structure and physiology, phenology, floral and seed characters, herbivores and disease, history, and conservation. 2. Sorbus torminalis is an uncommon, mostly small tree (but can reach 33 m) native to lowland England and Wales, and temperate and Mediterranean regions of mainland Europe. It is the most shade-tolerant member of the genus in the British Isles and as a result it is more closely associated with woodland than any other British species. Like other British Sorbus species, however, it grows best where competition for space and sunlight is limited. Seedlings are shade tolerant but adults are only moderately so. This, combined with its low competitive ability, restricts the best growth to open areas. In shade, saplings and young adults form a sapling bank, This article has been accepted for publication and undergone full peer review but has not Accepted been through the copyediting, typesetting, pagination and proofreading process, which may lead to differences between this version and the Version of Record.
