Phytotoxic Effect

In temperate European forests invaded by Prunus serotina Ehrh. (black cherry), a reduction in the spontaneous regeneration capacity of Pinus sylvestris L. (Scots pine) is observed. It could be caused by various factors, including allelopathic properties of this invasive plant. In this study the phytotoxic effect of P. serotina volatile compounds on P. sylvestris and the seasonal variation in this effect were assessed. Simple assays showed that volatiles emitted from P. serotina leaves significantly inhibited root growth of P. sylvestris seedlings. Their negative effect on stem growth was much weaker. The strongest phytotoxic effect on Scots pine seedlings was caused by the volatiles emitted from the youngest black cherry leaves. In fresh foliage of P. serotina, nineteen volatile organic compounds were identified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The dominant compound was benzaldehyde. On the basis of tests of linalool alone, it was found that this monoterpene present in the volatile fraction has a strong allelopathic potential and inhibits germination, root elongation and shoot elongation of pine seedlings. The results of our research suggest that volatile compounds from P. serotina leaves could limited survival of P. sylvestris individuals in the seedling phase.

Abstract A description is provided for Dibotryon morbosum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Prunus americana, P. armeniaca, P. avium, P. besseyi, P. cerasus, P. domestica, P. maritima, P. melanocarpa, P. pennsylvanica, P. pumila, P. serotina, P. virginiana and other species of Prunus. DISEASE: Black knot of plum, damson, cherry, peach, apricot and other species of Prunus. The pathogen causes the formation of elongated black hypertrophied host tissue on the current year's branches or on trunks. These are generally confined to one side and are several times the normal diameter of the stem. The knots are olive-green and corky at first, later turning black and becoming hard and brittle. In late summer some may appear pink or white due to parasitism by Trichothecium roseum. On black cherry, P. serotina, large cankerous swellings 0.6 m or more long may be formed which render the tree worthless for timber. Attacked trees become stunted and dwarfed. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Confined to North America (Canada and U.S.A.) (CMI Map 48). TRANSMISSION: By ascospores which have a peak production in May (45, 3263h). Storage of knots from Prunus serotina at -20°C for 6 months had little effect on ascospore viability (44, 2699j). Conidia also tolerate low temperatures, surviving 192 days at -20°C but only 25 days at 21°C (47, 573). In addition to some conidia overwintering in a viable condition on plum and cherry, others develop from overwintering chlamydospores on plum buds and bark (14: 43). Prunings containing excised knots which are left lying in orchards can continue to produce viable spores for several weeks after being removed (9: 116; 24: 375). The pathogen may also be introduced to new areas on infected nursery stock (McClintock, 1945).

Abstract P. serotina is a deciduous, single-stemmed tree, often medium- to large-sized, up 38 m in height and over 1.2 m or more in dbh in its native range in the eastern USA, though south-western varieties are much smaller. However, where introduced in Central Europe, P. serotina is mostly a shrub, only rarely a tree up to 20 m in height. Black cherry was among the first American trees to be cultivated as an ornamental in European gardens, introduced to England in 1629. In many places it has become naturalized and appears to be highly invasive. The invasive behaviour of this species in several northern and central European countries should be taken into account when considering future introductions to moist, temperate climates.

Precommercial Thinning

Abstract In northern West Virginia, 7-year-old American basswood (Tilia americana L.) and 12-year-old red maple (Acer rubrum L.), black cherry (Prunus serotina Ehrh.), and northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.) stump sprout clumps received one of four treatments: unthinned control; thinned to the best one or two codominant sprouts per clump; branch pruned up to 75% of total height; or thinned plus pruned. Analysis of 10-year growth data showed that height growth was not affected by any of the treatments. For all species, pruning slightly increased the length of clear stem and decreased periodic diameter growth. Thinning increased survival of basswood, red oak, and red maple crop stems. Thinning increased the 10-year diameter growth by 0.1 to 0.8 in. Recommendations for thinning 10- to 20-year-old sprout clumps are presented. Pruning is not recommended. In order to maintain maximum diameter growth, thinning individual sprout clumps should be followed by stand crop tree release in about 10 years. South. J. Appl. For. 12(1):23-27.

Black cherry (Prunus serotina Ehrh.) is considered one of the most invasive tree species in central Europe and causes problems for both nature conservation and silviculture. Besides mechanical control treatments, a suggested control method to prevent its ongoing spread is to underplant shade-tolerant native tree species. Therefore, we combined two mechanical treatments, with underplanting of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) or small-leaved lime (Tilia cordata Mill.) on fenced and unfenced plots. After the first growing season, survival rates were evaluated, and selected seedlings were destructively harvested to analyze their growth performance and leaf morphology in association with the different light regimes resulting from mechanical treatments Survival rates for both seedlings were very high (>95%). Survival rates were higher on fenced plots than on unfenced plots, most likely as result of browsing. The mortality of F. sylvatica decreased with increasing light availability on fenced plots. The mortality of T. cordata did not change along the light gradient. After one vegetation period no differences with respect to biomass allocation could be detected along the light gradient. However, the specific leaf areas of both species responded similarly, decreasing with increasing light availability. In summary, both species were able to establish and survive in the dense P. serotina understory and might have the potential to outcompete the invasive alien species in the long run.
