The damson (/ ˈ d æ m z ə n /), damson plum, or damascene [1] (Prunus domestica subsp. insititia, sometimes Prunus insititia), [2] is an edible drupaceous fruit, a subspecies of the plum tree. Varieties of insititia are found across Europe, but the name damson is derived from and most commonly applied to forms that are native to Great ...
Necessary condition analysis (NCA) is a research approach and tool employed to discern "necessary conditions" within datasets. [1] These indispensable conditions stand as pivotal determinants of particular outcomes, wherein the absence of such conditions ensures the absence of the intended result.
Terminalia arenicola is a small to medium-sized tree growing up to around 10 m (33 ft) high, the trunk is grey and tessellated, branches are often sympodial. [4] [5] [6] The leaves are obovate, discolorous, spirally arranged and clustered towards the ends of the branches. [4] [5] [6] They may be up to 22 cm (8.7 in) long and 14 cm (5.5 in) wide.
Plant growth analysis refers to a set of concepts and equations by which changes in size of plants over time can be summarised and dissected in component variables. It is often applied in the analysis of growth of individual plants, but can also be used in a situation where crop growth is followed over time.
Although once cultivated, and familiar to gardeners of the Tudor period, the bullace gradually fell out of favour as newer, larger or sweeter types of damson or plum displaced it, and it hung on at the fringes of cultivation. [5] Its hardiness meant that, like the damson, it was occasionally planted as a windbreak or hedging tree, and until the ...
Growing degree days (GDD), also called growing degree units (GDUs), are a heuristic tool in phenology. GDD are a measure of heat accumulation used by horticulturists , gardeners , and farmers to predict plant and animal development rates such as the date that a flower will bloom, an insect will emerge from dormancy, or a crop will reach maturity.
[5] [6] [7] The species was formally described in 1834 by French botanist Joseph Decaisne. In the Australian Plant Census, Terminalia sericocarpa F.Muell. is regarded as a synonym of this species. [3] Common names in Australia include bandicoot, sovereignwood, damson and damson plum. [8] It is known as kalumpit in the Philippines. [9]
In addition to growth by cell division, a plant may grow through cell elongation. This occurs when individual cells or groups of cells grow longer. Not all plant cells grow to the same length. When cells on one side of a stem grow longer and faster than cells on the other side, the stem bends to the side of the slower growing cells as a result.
