In general, it is important to eat a diet that contains foods from both sides of the chart. Allergic reactions and other forms of stress tend to produce acids in the body. The presence of high acidity indicates that more of your foods should be selected from the alkalizing group.

Watson2 INTRODUCTION Japanese Flowering Apricot may be the longest- lived of the flowering fruit trees eventually forming a gnarled, picturesque, 20-foot-tall tree (Fig. 1). Appearing during the winter on bare branches are the multitude of small, fragrant, pink flowers which add to the uniqueness of the tree’s character. The small yellow fruits which follow the blooms are inedible but attractive.

    1 Plant Gems from China© Donghui Peng1, Longqing Chen2 and Mengmeng Gu3 1College of Landscape Architecture and Horticulture, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Fuzhou, Fujian Province 350002, PRC 2College of Forestry and Horticulture, Huazhong Agriculture University, Wuhan, Hubei Province 430070, PRC 3Department of Horticultural Sciences, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, College Station, TX 77843, USA Email: [email protected] INTRODUCTION A lot of plants native in China thrive in landscapes across the U.S. Chinese plant germplasm has been continuously introduced to the U.S., and used in breeding and selection. So many new cultivars with Chinese genetics have been introduced in the landscape plant market. The Chinese love plants and particularly enjoy ten “traditionally famous flowers”: lotus (Nelumbo nucifera), sweet olive (Osmanthus frangrans), peony (Paeonia suffruticosa), azalea (Azalea spp.), chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum spp.), Mei flower (Prunus mume), daffodil (Narcissus spp.), rose (Rosa spp.), camellia (Camellia spp.) and cymbidium (Cymbidium spp.). Public and university breeders have focused on these taxa. In addition, many species and cultivars commonly grown in China may be of interest to growers and landscape professionals in the U.S, which this manuscript will be focused on. PLANT SPECIES AND CULTIVARS Sweet olive (Osmanthus fragrans). There are mainly four types of sweet olives, Auranticus Group, Luteus Group, Albus Group, orange and Semperflorens Group. Ever-blooming sweet 1 2 olives have peak blooming in the fall like the others, and continue for about six months although not as profusely. Recently there are three variegated cultivars: ‘Yinbian Caiye’ with white leaf margins mature leaves and red/white/green on new growth, ‘Yintian Cai’ with red-margined maroon leaves maturing to white-margined green leaves, and ‘Pearl Color’ with pink new growth.

Ume has been used as a food and folk remedy for thousands of years in East Asian countries, and BE was created in Japan centuries ago and has been used as a remedy since. In the Western world, the nutritional and medicinal benefits of ume and BE are not popularly known, despite many experimental studies showing their numerous health benefits. There are no known systematic reviews of the health benefits of ume and BE. Therefore, this systematic review describes the last 20 years of quality empirical studies that investigate ume and BE health benefits.
