  • Tree Planting and Management
    COMMONWEALTH WAR GRAVES COMMISSION Tree Planting and Management Breadth of Opportunity The spread of the Commission's responsibilities over some 148 countries in temperate, mediterranean, tropical and desert climates provides wonderful opportunities to experiment with nature's wealth of tree species. We are particularly fortunate in being able to grow many interesting and beautiful trees and we will explain how we manage them and what splendid specimens they can make. Why Plant Trees? Trees are planted for a variety of reasons: their amenity value, leaf shape and size, flowers, fruit, habit, form, bark, landscape value, shelter or screening, backcloth planting, shade, noise and pollution reduction, soil stabilisation and to encourage wild life. Often we plant trees solely for their amenity value. That is, the beauty of the tree itself. This can be from the leaves such as those in Robinia pseudoacacia 'Frisia', the flowers in the tropical tree Tabebuia or Albizia, the crimson stems of the sealing wax palm (Cyrtostachys renda), or the fruit as in Magnolia grandiflora. above: Sealing wax palms at Taiping War Cemetery, Malaysia with insert of the fruit of Magnolia grandiflora Selection Generally speaking the form of the left: The tropical tree Tabebuia tree is very often a major contributing factor and this, together with a sound knowledge of below: Flowers of the tropical the situation in which the tree is to tree Albizia julibrissin be grown, guides the decision to the best choice of species. Exposure is a major limitation to the free choice of species in northern Europe especially and trees such as Sorbus, Betula, Tilia, Fraxinus, Crataegus and fastigiate yews play an important role in any landscape design where the elements are seriously against a wider selection.

Zahid Farhad1, Sadia Ferheen2 and Sarwat Ismail3 1Department of Applied Chemistry, University of Karachi, Karachi-75270, Pakistan 2Pharmaceutical Research Centre, PCSIR Laboratories Complex Karachi, Pakistan 3PCSIR, Head office, 1-Constitution Avenue, G-5/2, Islamabad, Pakistan *corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The current review is focused on the phytochemical and pharmacological aspects of the genus Sorbus. Its numerous species have been utilized as a traditional medicine in the world. Despite, the therapeutic importance of genus Sorbus, out of 100 species only 13 species have been screened phytochemically. Up till now, around 150 secondary metabolites have been reported from this genus, which are summarized in this review. Keywords: Rosaceae, Sorbus, phytochemical, pharmacological potential. INTRODUCTION The Sorbus L. is a genus from the Rose family (Rosaceae). Sorbus comprises of 100 species among which many are medicinally important and are being used in the folklore medications all over the world (Bhattacharjee, 2003). Several taxa from Sorbus are found in customary and local medicines that are used as anti-diarrhea, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, vaso- protective, broncho- and vaso-relaxant, along with potent antioxidative qualities (Hukkanen et al., 2006, Olszewska and Michel, 2009, Olszewska et al., 2010, Olszewska, 2012; Perry and Metzger, 1980; Krishna, 1972; Jayaweera, 1982; Krachmal, 1980. The fruit of S. aucuparia L. is bitter in nature and having characteristics of, astringent, laxative, diuretic and cholagogue. Traditionally these are used as drugs in the form of tea, syrup, jelly or liqueur in Austria for the treatment of ailments related to respiratory tract, fever, infections, colds, flu, rheumatism and gout.

  • Page 1 the Following Pages Outline Phasing Recommendations for The
    Kruckeberg Botanic Garden Master Site Plan PHASING AND IMPLEMENTATION he following pages outline phasing recommendations for the KruckebergT Botanic Garden that seem desirable to address the needs, vision, and requirements of a private garden’s evolution into the publc domain. With the transfer of this property from a private residence to a commercial public entity, new sets of codes, restrictions, and opportunities come into play. These deal with public safety, health, and well-being and ensure that equal opportunities are afforded to all. Within a limited budget, Phase 1 responds to these immediate needs by providing on-site public parking to reduce impacts to the surrounding residential community, adding much needed public restrooms, and creating a permanent and separate service access road and staff parking area. Phase 2 focuses on siting an interpretive switchback boardwalk trail that connects the upper and lower gardens in an aesthetic ADA-compliant manner. It is also envi- sioned that an ADA-compliant loop path would be routed through the lower garden. While it would be optimal to build the environmental learning center in Phase 2, it is recognized that lack of funding may require deferment to a later phase. Further development of future phases depends on many factors, most importantly securing funding and the commitment of the City, Foundation, and public to sup- port and encourage new work to proceed. In the end, this alone will determine how quickly Garden projects are completed and the Garden vision, as outlined in this report, is realized. This is a modest plan as represented by the development costs associated with each phase in 2010 dollars.

    SRGC ----- Bulb Log Diary ----- Pictures and text © Ian Young BULB LOG 22...............................1st June 2016 Paeonia cambessedesii We are all tempted into trying plants from outside our climate zone - Paeonia cambessedesii is at the verge of its tolerance in this narrow bed at the base of the south- facing kitchen wall. The conditions in our garden are a long way from those in its Balearic Island home but this is the hottest driest bed we have in the garden. Fortunately there are many Paeonia that do grow happily in our cool moist semi- shaded conditions one is the beautiful Himalayan Paeonia emodi with white, scented flowers. Paeonia emodi Paeonia obovata alba Paeonia obovata A woodland species from higher elevations in China, Paeonia obovata, is also well adapted to growing in our northern garden. It is the white form that seems to be more common in cultivation and we have grown it for many years and now we are very happy to have flowered the pink coloured type for the first time. This picture, which shows both forms of Paeonia obovata growing in our front garden, illustrates why plants that are native to woodland habitats grow best for us in our dense plantings under the partial shade of trees and shrubs. Paeonia eomodi, Uvularia grandiflora and Hyacinthoides hispanica also enjoy our open woodland type growing conditions. We have grown our only plant of Paeonia emodi for almost thirty years and while it has formed a large clump with many flowers it has never produced any seeds. Glaucidium palmatum, a woodlander from Japan, also thrives in our cool moist woodsy type growing conditions and it does set seed – I show one of our darkest coloured forms alongside the white from which comes true from seed.

  • An Elemental Education When She Took on Her Beautiful New Zealand Garden 40 Years Ago, Janet Blair Learned Spectacular Views Came at a Price
    New Zealand garden An elemental education When she took on her beautiful New Zealand garden 40 years ago, Janet Blair learned spectacular views came at a price. But with clever planting and design she has tamed the harsh southerly winds WORDS CHRISTINE REID PHOTOGRAPHS CLAIRE TAKACS In brief What Large country garden. Where Near Queenstown, New Zealand’s South Island. Size 14 acres. Soil Mainly a thin layer of loam over clay. Climate Extremes of weather; from low of -19ºC in winter to mid 30ºCs in summer. Points of interest The entire garden is Janet Blair’s creation over the past 40 years, and the garden has been given a five-star rating by the New Zealand Gardens Trust as a garden of national significance. Hedges and trees – both deciduous and evergreen – help shelter Janet’s garden as icy winds tear down the valley. 62 New Zealand garden “Gardening is really a partnership between nature and artifice” he influence of designer Russell Page’s Tclassic work The Education of a Gardener is undeniably far-reaching. Janet Blair, who gardens in the magnificent mountain scenery of New Zealand’s South Island, rates it as the book that has inspired her garden making for the past 40 years. Her remarkable garden shows how much she has absorbed of this seminal text and Page’s principles and rules. ‘A panorama and a garden seen together distract from each other. One’s interest is torn between the garden… and the excitement of the distant view… A view, too, usually means wind, and a windy garden is unrewarding,’ writes Page.

  • Lipoxygenase Inhibitory Effect of Pentacyclic Triterpenes from Sorbus Cashmirana Hedlund Monog
    INT. J. BIOL. BIOTECH., 9 (1-2): 13-15, 2012. LIPOXYGENASE INHIBITORY EFFECT OF PENTACYCLIC TRITERPENES FROM SORBUS CASHMIRANA HEDLUND MONOG Mehdi Hassan Kazmi1, Sadia Khan1, M. Ashraf 2 1Department of Applied Chemistry and Chemical Technology, University of Karachi, Karachi, Pakistan. 2Department of Pharmacy the Ismalia University Bahawalpure, Bahawalpure Pakistan ABSTRACT Cashmirol Aand B and sorbinol A and B have been isolated from ethyl acetate soluble fraction of Sorbus cashmirana. Their structures were determined through spectroscopic techniques that give significant activity against enzyme lipoxygenase. Key-words: INTRODUCTION Sorbus cashmiriana Hedlund Monog is a medicinal plant which belongs to the family Rosaceae. It is a tree with a conical growth reach up to 40 feet. There are about 100 species under the genus Sorbus and seven native to the Indo-Pak subcontinent. Sourbus cashmiriana Hedlund, Monog is tree of two seasons one in the spring with lovely pink –tinted flowers and one in the autumn when the leaves are gone and glorious white fruits shine out. A tea made from its bark is used to treat nausea and to cleanse the blood. A bark preparation is also used against heart diseases. The berries are rich in vitamin C and used to cure scurvy (Bhattacharjee, 2003; Perry and Metzger, 1980; Krishna, 1972; Jayaweera, 1982; Krachmal, 1980). The ethanopharmacological and chemotaxonomic importance of the genus Sorbus led us to investigate the chemical constituents of Sorbus cashmiriana. Its methanolic extract showed strong toxicity in a brine shrimp lethality test (McLaughlin et al., 1997; Nie and Honn, 2002). Pharmacological screening of the ethyl acetate soluble fraction showed strong inhibition against lipoxygenase enzyme.
