Notes on the plants. Generally, 10-20 (cm) sizes are for growing on. Larger sizes can be 1, 2 or 3 years old, and can be planted, or potted on/lined out. “Max” means the approximate total quantity we have available. Alnus glutinosa. Origin a natural stand at Crossburn, Skerray, Sutherland, very near to the north coast. Well adapted to Shetland’s climate. Alnus incana. Fast growing, requiring damp ground and more shelter than the other alders listed. Alnus sinuata: collected at Sullom plantation, origin Mitkof Island in SE Alaska. Sitka alder is undoubtedly an excellent shelter tree, and can tolerate damp poor soils. Betula pubescens (ssp. tortuosa): seed collected from Clickimin; origin south Iceland, where the best natural stand of birch is, at Baejarstađarskogur. Cotoneaster bullatus. collected from a small stand by the roadside at Voe. Fairly wind resistant, berries attractive to birds. Fraxinus excelsior. Seed collected from Western coastal Norway. A good alternative to sycamore. Laburnum anagyroides. From seed of an old tree near Kergord House, now felled due to extensive decay. Larix leptolepis. From Lindsay Lea, Kergord. Picea sitchensis. From a seed orchard on Taraldsøy, an island in Haugesund, west Norway. Original seed collected in several coastal Alaska locations and sown and planted in Iceland plantations; selected “mother” trees were harvested and the resulting seed sown on Taraldsøy. Therefore of excellent provenance for Shetland. Pinus contorta. Seed collected from trees of Alaskan origin. This conifer is the best for wet ground in Shetland. Populus trichocarpa. From cuttings sent from Iceland, where this is widely grown in shelterbelts and has reached 20m. in height One of the fastest growing species available. Buds and opening leaves smell strongly of balsam. Salix species. This year we have a selection of Shetland native species available, as well as some Salix alaxensis (Alaskan felt leaf willow), and some Salix S. S. udensis ‘Sekka’. There are also limited numbers of the Iceland willow, Salix ‘Brekkuviður’. We have limited supplies of other plants available. Please contact for information. Cell and pot grown plants may have been chemically treated with Vinil against Vine Weevil. Please handle with gloves and wash hands after handling. News regarding forestry grants for Shetland The new “Woodland Creation for the Northern and Western Isles – Native Woodlands” grant has been launched by the Forestry Commission. The basic grant is £4160 per hectare, plus £300/ha/yr for five years. In Shetland the minimum eligible area is 0.25 ha and the maximum 1.00 ha. For those contemplating shelterbelts, the minimum width is 15m. A grant for fencing (stock and rabbits) and gates is also available. 20% of the trees can be mixed broadleaves – that is, they do not need to be native to the UK – in order to create shelter. A minimum stocking density of 3000 trees/ha is required, and 25% of the area can be managed open ground. There is a presumption against planting on peat of greater than 50cm depth, and conifers and shrubs are excluded. Applicants must register their land under IACS, and have a Business Registration Number (BRN) and Land Parcel Identifier number(s) (LPID). The application process is done on-line as for all SRDP grants, but in this case the “ongoing approval process” means that applications are dealt with directly by the Forestry Commission. We recommend the following for native trees, where possible from Shetland, Orkney or North and North West Scotland provenance or origin (seed zones 101 - Shetland, 102 - Orkney, Caithness and Sutherland, 103 – Western Isles, 104 – Inner Hebrides, 105 – West Highland, 201 – Highland, 202 - Grampian ): Alnus glutinosa Betula pubescens ssp. tortuosa Corylus avellana Crataegus monogyna Fraxinus excelsior Populus tremula Salix aurita S. cinerea S. pentandra Sorbus aucuparia Ulmus glabra For mixed (exotic) broadleaves, e.g., for shelter: Acer pseudoplatanus Alnus sinuata Populus trichocarpa Salix alaxensis S. ‘Brekkuviður’ S. hookeriana S. udensis ‘Sekka’ Sorbus intermedia .

  • Native Or Suitable Plants City of Mccall
    Native or Suitable Plants City of McCall The following list of plants is presented to assist the developer, business owner, or homeowner in selecting plants for landscaping. The list is by no means complete, but is a recommended selection of plants which are either native or have been successfully introduced to our area. Successful landscaping, however, requires much more than just the selection of plants. Unless you have some experience, it is suggested than you employ the services of a trained or otherwise experienced landscaper, arborist, or forester. For best results it is recommended that careful consideration be made in purchasing the plants from the local nurseries (i.e. Cascade, McCall, and New Meadows). Plants brought in from the Treasure Valley may not survive our local weather conditions, microsites, and higher elevations. Timing can also be a serious consideration as the plants may have already broken dormancy and can be damaged by our late frosts. Appendix B SELECTED IDAHO NATIVE PLANTS SUITABLE FOR VALLEY COUNTY GROWING CONDITIONS Trees & Shrubs Acer circinatum (Vine Maple). Shrub or small tree 15-20' tall, Pacific Northwest native. Bright scarlet-orange fall foliage. Excellent ornamental. Alnus incana (Mountain Alder). A large shrub, useful for mid to high elevation riparian plantings. Good plant for stream bank shelter and stabilization. Nitrogen fixing root system. Alnus sinuata (Sitka Alder). A shrub, 6-1 5' tall. Grows well on moist slopes or stream banks. Excellent shrub for erosion control and riparian restoration. Nitrogen fixing root system. Amelanchier alnifolia (Serviceberry). One of the earlier shrubs to blossom out in the spring.

  • Pollen Flora of Pakistan -Lv. Caprifoliaceae
    Pak. J. Bot., 39(5): 1393-1401- 2007. POLLEN FLORA OF PAKISTAN -LV. CAPRIFOLIACEAE ANJUM PERVEEN AND MUHAMMAD QAISER Department of Botany, University of Karachi, Karachi-75270, Pakistan Abstract Pollen morphology of 18 species of the family Caprifoliaceae from Pakistan has been examined by light and scanning electron microscope. Pollen grains are usually radially symmetrical, isopolar, oblate-spheroidal to prolate-spheroidal rarely sub-prolate or sub-oblate. Sexine slightly thicker or thinner than nexine. Tectum mostly spinulose to coarsely reticulate or sub-psilate often rugulate- striate. On the basis of exine pattern six distinct pollen types are recognized viz., Abelia triflora-type, Lonicera myrtillus-type, Lonicera obovata-type, Lonicera quinquelocularis, Lonicera webbiana-type and Viburnum grandiflorum. Introduction Caprifoliaceae is a small family of about 12 genera and 450 species (Mabberely, 1987) occurring mainly in the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. In Pakistan it is represented by 4 genera and 27 species (Akhtar, 1986). Plants mostly shrub, rarely herb. Leaves opposite, usually simple. Flowers bisexual, actinomorphic or zygomorphic, calyx 4-5 united, corolla 4-5 united, epigynous, gynoecium compound, pistil 2-8 carpel with 2-5 locules, ovules one or more, placentation pendulous or axile, ovary inferior, style terminal, often slender. Fruit berry or drupe. Family is important for its cultivated ornamental shrubs and vines such as Lonicera, Symphoricarpos, Abelia, Leycesteria, Linnaea, Kolkwitzia and weeds (Lonicera japonica). Pollen morphology of family has been examined by Erdtman (1952), Radulescu (1961), Kapp (1969), Haung (1972), Kuprianova & Alyoshina (1978). Bassett & Crompton (1970) examined the pollen morphology of the family Caprifoliaceae in his monographic studies.

  • APP202396: to Release the Honeysuckle Stem-Boring Beetle
    Staff Assessment Report APP202396: to release the honeysuckle stem-boring beetle May 2015 Purpose An application to introduce the honeysuckle stem borer (Oberea shirahatai) as a biocontrol agent for the weed Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) Application number APP202396 Application type To obtain approval to release new organisms Applicant Hawke’s Bay Regional Council Date formally received 17 February 2015 2 EPA advice for application APP202396 Executive Summary and Recommendation In February 2015, Hawke’s Bay Regional Council made an application to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) seeking to introduce the honeysuckle stem-boring beetle (Oberea shirahatai) as a biological control agent for the weed Japanese honeysuckle (Loncera japonica). We examined the beneficial and adverse effects to the environment and market economy in addition to the effects on Māori and their relationship to the environment in our assessment of the application. The applicant presented evidence to show that the honeysuckle stem-boring beetle will not attack native species based on taxonomic analysis, and will not preferentially feed and successfully complete life cycles on ornamental and valued exotic honeysuckle species in host range testing. We consider that the introduction of the honeysuckle stem-boring beetle will not have any adverse effects on native species or on plant species that are valuable to the nursery and garden industry in New Zealand. We note that reductions in vegetative mass of the weed, due to the activity of the honeysuckle stem-boring beetle, will lead to the re-establishment of native populations and ecological processes, and suppress the spread of Japanese honeysuckle. As a result, we note that it is likely that control of Japanese honeysuckle will lead to improved biodiversity and conservation values.
