Wild Cherry Prunus Avium Technical guidelines for genetic conservation and use Wild cherry Prunus avium Karen Russell Horticulture Research International, East Malling, West Malling, EUFORGEN Kent, United Kingdom These Technical Guidelines are intended to assist those who cherish the valuable wild cherry genepool and its inheritance, through conserving valuable seed sources or use in practical forestry. The focus is on conserving the genetic diversity of the species at the European scale. The recommendations provided in this module should be regarded as a commonly agreed basis to be complemented and further developed in local, national or regional conditions. The Guidelines are based on the available knowledge of the species and on widely accepted methods for the conservation of forest genetic resources. Biology and ecology Wild cherry (Prunus avium L.) belongs to the family Rosaceae and it is a diploid with a chro- mosome number of 2n=2x=16. The domesticated form culti- vated for fruit is known as sweet cherry. Wild cherry can hybridize with the various other cherry species, espe- cially where their natural ranges overlap. It is a fast growing tree, with strong apical growth and most of its lateral branches are arranged in annual whorls. The crown is broadly conical and the trunk usually straight. The bark is shiny with large lenticels and peels horizontally. It is one of the first trees to flower in the spring and produces masses of white blossom. It matures at around 60-80 years, when trees are typically 20-25 m in height with trunks of 50-70 cm in diam- eter. Exceptional trees can reach up to 35 m in height with trunks over 120 cm in diameter.

Cherry also frequently regenerates by root suckers forming dense clon- al clumps of trees. Wild cherry favours deep, light, silty soils that are fertile with a good water supply. It can tolerate a wide range of soil pH (5.5-8.5) but prefers slightly acidic conditions. It does not grow well on exposed sites or on sites prone to waterlogging. It is very winter hardy, but flowers can be damaged by spring frosts. Wild cherry is a light demand- ing, relatively short-lived species and is frequently found on wood- land edges and glades.

  • Production, Pomological and Nutraceutical Properties of Apricot
    1 Production, pomological and nutraceutical properties of apricot Khaled Moustafa1* and Joanna Cross2 1Editor of ArabiXiv (arabixiv.org), Paris, France 2Nigde Omer Halisdemir University, Nigde, Turkey Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract Apricot (Prunus sp.) is an important fruit crop worldwide. Despite recent advances in apricot research, much is still to be done to improve its productivity and environmental adaptability. The availability of wild apricot germplasms with economically interesting traits is a strong incentive to increase research panels toward improving its economic, environmental and nutritional characteristics. New technologies and genomic studies have generated a large amount of raw data that the mining and exploitation can help decrypt the biology of apricot and enhance its agronomic values. Here, we outline recent findings in relation to apricot production, pomological and nutraceutical properties. In particular, we retrace its origin from central Asia and the path it took to attain Europe and other production areas around the Mediterranean basin while locating it in the rosaceae family and referring to its genetic diversities and new attempts of classification. The production, nutritional, and nutraceutical importance of apricot are recapped in an easy readable and comparable way. We also highlight and discuss the effects of late frost damages on apricot production over different growth stages, from swollen buds to green fruits formation. Issues related to the length of production season and biotic and abiotic environmental challenges are also discussed with future perspective on how to lengthen the production season without compromising the fruit quality and productivity. Keywords Apricot kernel oil, plum pox virus, prunus armeniaca, spring frost, stone fruit, sharka.

Defoliation at the base of a shoot gives a poodle tail or pompom appearance. Fruit on infected branches is smaller, lacks flavor often with a bitter taste and may drop before ripening. Usually by the third year after infection, most branches will show symptoms. Young trees die within one to two years after the first symptoms appear. Older trees gradually decline in vigor. Sweet and tart cherries infected with X-disease phy- toplasma show stunted growth, enlarged stipules and immature, small, poorly colored fruit. Infected cherry trees on mahaleb rootstock decline quickly, whereas those on mazzard rootstock may persist for many years.

  • Prunus Dulcis (Almond) Size/Shape
    Prunus dulcis (Almond) "The coming of spring in Lebanon is announced by white and pink Almond tree blossoms appearing everywhere in early March through April from the coast up to an altitude of 1800 meters. The Almond is cultivated in orchards, but trees can also be found growing in the wild, in forests and woodlands, in abandoned orchards, in open shrub lands, between rocks, and on dry limestone slopes. The trees that grow in the wild produce bitter or semi-sweet almond seeds. Their bitterness comes from a compound that turns into the poison cyanide when it comes into contact with water.This economically important tree has a spreading crown and can grow up to eight meters high. Its leaves are elongated, toothed, and egg-shaped, and they grow in clusters from short stubs on the branches." * * Trees of Lebanon, 2014, Salma Nashabe Talhouk, Mariana M.

A major consequence of this 2 3 phenomenon is the re-colonization of these areas by the original vegetation. However, some 4 agricultural, exotic species are able to naturalize and colonize these abandoned lands. In this 5 6 study we explore the ability of almonds (Prunus dulcis D.A. Webb.) to establish in abandoned 7 croplands in semi-arid areas of SE Iberian Peninsula. Domesticated during the early Holocene 8 9 in SW Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean, the almond has spread as a crop all over the world. 10 We established three plots adjacent to almond orchards on land that was abandoned and 11 12 reforested with Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis Mill.) and Holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) about 20 13 years ago.

  • Anomalous Dark Growth Rings in Black Cherry
    FIELD NOTE Anomalous Dark Growth Rings in Black Cherry Robert P. Long, David W. Trimpey, Michael C. Wiemann, and Susan L. Stout Anomalous dark growth rings have been observed in black cherry (Prunus serotina) sawlogs from northwestern Pennsylvania making the logs unsuitable for veneer products. Thirty-six cross sections with dark rings, each traceable to one of ten stands, were obtained from a local mill and sections were dated and annual ring widths were measured. One or more dark rings were found in 30 of the 36 cross sections. The most frequent years in which dark rings formed were 1994, on 55% of cross sections, and 1995, on 72% of cross sections. Both years were coincident with widespread cherry scallop shell moth (Hydria prunivorata) outbreaks. GIS layers and maps obtained from the Allegheny National Forest were used to document cherry scallop shell moth defoliations in these stands. These rings show a darkened discoloration through all or portions of the annual ring without characteristics typical of gum spots or gum defects caused ABSTRACT by traumatic injury from bark beetles or cambium miners. Microscopic examination of the rings revealed darkened fiber cell walls, but no other cellular abnormalities. Dark rings are more common in stands with a high proportion of the total basal area composed of black cherry. These stands also are more susceptible to repeated defoliations from cherry scallop shell moth. lack cherry (Prunus serotina) is one of the most valuable east- Methods ern hardwood timber species, and some of the highest quality Thirty-six cross sections or partial cross sections from nine dif- Bcherry originates in northwestern Pennsylvania (Wieden- ferent stands were obtained from a private industrial landowner in beck et al.
