  • XXXX Gold $150,000 Golden Nugget 4Yo Championship
    Wednesday 7 December 2005 XXXX Gold $150,000 Golden Nugget 4yo Championship History The Golden Nugget Championship began in February 1981 when the Victorian visitor Justin Hanover won for trainer/driver Tony Peacock. The WA Trotting Association had identified a gap in the national programme for a 4yo Championship and, similar to their innovation in running the first Australian Derby, set about attracting the best 4yos in the nation to Perth. To add to the uniqueness of the race the trophy always incorporated a Gold Nugget. The initial concept was for an elite field of eight heat winners only with four heats held on a Friday night and a further four heats on the following Tuesday before the Final on the Friday night. Over time that concept has changed due to a fall off in numbers of elite 4yos but that hasn’t stopped the Golden Nugget of continuing to showcase the nations best rising stars and the honour roll contains some of the greatest names seen in the past 25 years. Who will ever forget the awesome performance of Tasmanian owned Sinbad Bay in 1989 in setting a National 2500 metre record as he demolished the strongest Golden Nugget field ever assembled. The ten-horse field that year included six representatives from the Eastern States including the likes of Jodies Babe, Rowleyalla, Another Bart and the locally trained Manageable. The NSW sensation Westburn Grant overcame the infamous airline strike in late 1989 to show just why he was rated the best 4yo in the nation although he failed dismally in the WA Pacing Cup a month later.

  • Common Name Jakfruit Carambola Papaya Longan
    Sheet1 Height X Minimum Size COMMON NAME Botanical Name VARIETY Description Width Temp avail An exquisite fruit that is very closely related to the Cherimoya. The fruit are typically baseball- to softball-size, and they taste like sugary sweet custard. The pulp comes apart in segments, each THAI-LESSARD containing a small black seed that separates easily from the fruit. The trees begin to fruit at just one 3gal to two years of age, and they can easily be maintained at eight to ten feet. Coloured green fruit SUGAR APPLE Annona squamosa 10'X8' 28F weight (g/oz) 227-454/8-16. Aug-Nov Selected in Queensland, Australia. The tree is vigorous, with a dense and highly manageable canopy. With annual pruning the tree is easily maintained at a height and spread of 2 to 2.5 m (6.5 to 8.1 ft), with consistent, heavy production of 55 to 90 kg (120 to 200 lb) per tree. The fruit are medium-sized, averaging 6.7 kg (14.7 lb), with an edible flesh percentage of 35%. The exterior of the fruit is dark BLACK GOLD green and has sharp fleshy spines. The spines do not flatten, or “open” upon maturity, making it 3gal difficult to judge the proper harvest time and maturity. The deep orange flesh is soft, with a strong, sweet flavor and aroma. The flesh is easily removed from the fruit compared with other cultivars. JAKFRUIT Artocarpus heterophyllus 8'X6' 28F Sept-Dec Selected in Queensland, Australia. The tree is fast growing, with a distinctive dark green, rounded Jakfruit trees are large by nature.

Mangifera indica, cultivar identifi cation, SSR markers, mango breeding, parentage analysis ABSTRACT. Mango (Mangifera indica L.) germplasm can be classifi ed by origin with the primary groups being cultivars selected from the centers of diversity for the species, India and Southeast Asia, and those selected in Florida and other tropical and subtropical locations. Accessions have also been classifi ed by horticultural type: cultivars that produce monoembryonic seed vs. cultivars that produce polyembryonic seed. In this study we used 25 microsatellite loci to estimate genetic diversity among 203 unique mangos (M. indica), two M. griffi thii Hook. f., and three M. odorata Griff. accessions maintained at the National Germplasm Repository and by Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Miami, Fla. The 25 microsatellite loci had an average of 6.96 alleles per locus and an average polymorphism information content (PIC) value of 0.552 for the M. indica population. The total propagation error in the collection (i.e., plants that had been incorrectly labeled or grafted) was estimated to be 6.13%. When compared by origin, the Florida cultivars were more closely related to Indian than to Southeast Asian cultivars.

  • FAVORITE FRUIT TREES for SAN DIEGO by Tom Del Hotal
    FAVORITE FRUIT TREES FOR SAN DIEGO By Tom Del Hotal DECIDUOUS FRUIT Deciduous fruit trees often require a winter dormancy period where temperatures fall between 32 and 45 degrees F. in order to grow, flower and fruit properly. Varieties differ in the number of hours they require at these temperatures to overcome dormancy. The fruit trees listed under Column A have the lowest chilling requirements ( 0 - 300 hours) and should perform well in most areas of San Diego. The fruit trees listed under Column B have higher chilling requirements ( 300 - 500 hours ) and may not perform well in areas of very low chill ( less than 250-300 hours). Column A Column B COMMENTS APPLES Anna Beverly Hills Fuji Prune to central leader or modified central Dorsett Golden Pettingill Gordon leader shape. Dormant spray to control dormant Winter Banana Granny Smith diseases & overwintering insects. Some Winter Pearmain Mutsu varieties require pollinizers. Pink Lady APRICOTS EarliGold Floragold Autumn Royal Prune to open vase or modified open vase Gold Kist Katy shape. Fruit is produced on short lived fruiting Royal (Bleinheim) spurs. Dormant spray to control dormant diseases & overwintering insects. Do not dormant spray with lime-sulfur (calcium polysulfide) dormant sprays. CHERRIES Minnie Royal Two new sweet cherries that reportedly have Royal Lee lower chill requirements than most sweet cherries, 250 chill hours or less. Need both for cross pollination.

  • CITRUS BUDWOOD Annual Report 2019-2020
    CITRUS BUDWOOD Annual Report 2019-2020 Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Bureau of Citrus Budwood Registration Ben Rosson, Chief We are now entering the 67th year of the Citrus Budwood Registration Program. And what a year it has been! Who would have thought that the simple things in life like going out to eat and family gatherings would have changed so much? The Budwood program has also changed over the past year with the addition of new employees, shifts in production and adopting department-wide updates in processes and procedures. Throughout the Covid 19 pandemic, we have been steadily working to ensure that we continue to provide uncompromised budwood and services while maintaining a safe, productive working environment for our employees while focusing on remaining the same in quality, controls and distribution. We were fortunate to be able to hire Dennis Connolly to oversee the new Chiefland seed source block on a daily basis to help ensure the success of the project and we harvested the first handful of seeds for the program. We are adding trees to the block as they are produced, and as new information comes in from researchers on promising varieties. Also this year, the first trees were planted in the LaCrosse Foundation backup facility with trees received from Chiefland and new releases from the program. There are currently over 100 trees planted in the facility with room for expansion as necessary. We are continually streamlining the collection and extraction process. We have been able to provide timely results to the industry while still maintaining the cleanup process for the multiple new introductions from within and outside of the State.
