Lineaverde is Italy’s leading horticultural magazine. For nearly 30 years it has provided a useful source of information for those working in the sector. It publishes articles on: growing techniques, arboriculture, botany, running horticultural businesses, landscape gardening, ecology; moreover it provides technical, commerical and statistical facts and figures.

Lineaverde International is the international copy of the magazine found in English, French and German. Its formation began with the idea of promoting Italian horticulture abroad. It is sent twice a year, in September and January, to the main European growers. It is found to be the quickest and most efficent way to inform the world about horticulture in Italy, it being one of the richest producers in Europe (23 percent of European horticultural production ) for volume, quality and variety. Italy is the most commercially interesting horticultural producer in Europe in particular for its wealth of variety. Cut flowers, house, garden and public park plants make up the vast assortment available and this is enriched by Italy’s own exotic production of ornamental citrus in terracotta pots, olives of every shape and kind and the most unusual Mediterranean species.

Lineaverde est la revue de floriculture et arboriculture leader en Italie. Depuis bientôt 30 ans elle est un instrument de travail précieux pour tous les opérateurs du secteur. Elle traite des arguments suivants: les techniques de culture, l’arboriculture, la phytopathologie, la gestion d’une pépinière, le paysagisme, l’écologie; elle divulgue en outre des informations techniques, sur les marchandises, ainsi que les statistiques intéressant le secteur.

Lineaverde International, qui est la version internationale (en anglais, en français et en allemand) de Lineaverde, a été conçu afin d’assurer la promotion des pépinières italiennes à l’étranger. Elle est expédiée deux fois par an (en septembre et en janvier) à des opérateurs européens triés sur le volet. Cette publication est la façon la plus rapide et efficace d’approfondir la connaissance de la production italienne, l’une des plus riches d’Europe quant au volume (23% de la production floricole et arboricole européenne), à la qualité et à l’assortiment.

L’Italie est certainement, dans le secteur des fleurs et des plantes, le pays le plus hétérogène et le plus intéressant du point de vue commercial, en raison de son assortiment, qui va des fleurs coupées aux plantes d’appartement, pour jardins et pour grands parcs (enrichi par quelques productions particulières comme les agrumes ornementaux en pots de terre cuite, les oliviers de toutes les formes et variétés et les plantes méditerranéennes les plus curieuses).

Plants and flowers in 2015: results and trends in Italy and in Europe 2 2015 was a difficult year for Italian plants and flowers. Despite initial signs of recovery, and a return of orders from abroad, some long-standing companies went out of business.

015 was the year when the world's economic crisis was felt the hardest by the nursery and ornamental plant industry. Some companies who had pioneered the industry's history in Italy and Europe began the process of shutting their doors, unimaginable just months ago.

Official data indicates that finan-

2015, une année difficile pour la floriculture italienne: malgré les premiers signes de reprise et le retour des commandes de l'étranger, certaines entreprises établies dans le secteur ont fait faillite.

cial difficulties will increase, and the lack of liquidity is affecting the entire production pipeline, including companies who provide manufactured products and services. In short, the economic-financial difficulties are being felt.

These are the most visible repercussions, but let us see what official data has to say for the first

half year 2015 and the forecasts for the entire year.

Plants and flowers in the first half year of 2015 recorded growth, compared to last year, in the value of exports (+5.8%) as well as imports (+6.3%). In terms of volume, on the other hand, imports saw a significant downturn compared to the first half year of 2014 of more than 20%; exports, on the other hand, held steady.

Overall the balance of value improved by just 3%. In detail, the imported plant, tree and shrub sector posted two opposing trends: it was positive for trees and shrubs, which increased in value by 11.3%, and negative for domestically grown plants. In the first half year 2014, in fact, domestic plants recorded a surplus

of 6 million euro, a trend which reversed in the first half year of 2015 (-2.6 billion euro). Also for overseas plants, the trend indicated a gradual erosion of the Italian market share, estimated to be falling at 4% a year. Italy's purchases of plants from within the EU increased in value by 6-7%, both for indoor and outdoor plants, despite the number falling sharply, therefore more valuable types of plants were bought compared to the array imported in the first half year 2014. This confirms the hypothesis that the future of nurseries in a country with a mature economy lies in products of greater value and with recognizable and certified quality content, and not in price competition.

In Italy the sales of plants, trees and shrubs sold in Italy in the summer months has expanded, particularly over the past decade, to August and September-October. The potted plant sector compared to nursery products recorded a modest increase, which differed between the regions. During the summer, the species in most demand were flowering perennials for public and private outdoor decor, especially in areas popular with tourists.

The production of plants, trees and shrubs for the autumn market, characterised by perennial plants such as chrysanthemums, cyclamens, heather and so on, popular especially nearer the festivities in November, and later also for Christmas, were influenced by summer weather conditions, which this year meant a particularly hot and long stretch. The chrysanthemum market, like last year, appeared to be characterised by an excess in supply in October, with ample volumes of unsold stock which then become scarce in November, while demand for indoor plants, especially for the entire assortment of green plants, was very limited.

Some producers also faced new agronomic and phytosanitary problems which were another limiting factor, especially for exports, and the use of a green passport for a growing number of species appeared to be the only solution put forward by the European Union to limit the effect on the free circulation of goods.

On this note, some episodes occurred where trucks were blocked at the Turkish border carrying nursery products ordered

by Turkish customers who have

been doing business with Italy for many years, who were not able to prevent the plants from being rejected despite a memorandum of intent being signed for an agreement between Italy and Turkey, previously discussed at G20 (8 May 2015) which was meant to be an integral part of the concluding statements of the Heads of States and Government on 16 November 2015 at Antalya.

The blockage of a number of shipments, even if they were occasional, lead to the loss of significant amounts of money by Italian nurseries, and others gave up on selling to the only country in Europe where demand is rising.

For the nursery sector, analysis of market trends is once again unsatisfactory, and the sector is once again highly influenced by a general lack of interest in nursery products. Specifically, we are referring especially to the documented absence of public orders, and in some cases competition from products from some new companies which are steadily becoming specialists in the cultivation of nursery plants, trees and shrubs.

In conclusion, production capacity in Italy like in Europe has consolidated but if demand is not stimulated, falling prices are inevitable, and as a consequence company profits will fall. It is clear that, as AREFLH (the Assembly of the European Regions producing Fruit, Vegetable and Ornamental Plants) has requested on a number of occasions, a European policy is needed to support investments in public green spaces to improve the quality of life in urban and rural areas, but also to restore prospects of certainty to the important sector of agriculture. ■

xpo Milano 2015 - as presented in the masterplan devised

by Stefano Boeri, Jaques Herzog, Ricky Burdett, Joan Busquets and William McDonough, and the subsequent preliminary project by Piano Expo – is an exhibition city within a ring – a reproduction of a Roman 'castrum' as the primary archetype of urban generation – a urban centre, international terminal, within an area encompassed by a chaotic and fragmentary border, between the urban heart and the hinterland of Milan. In this context, the importance of the land-

scape project, its fundamental role for formal, urban and relational upgrade of the areas of the exhibition site and for the definition of new relations with the surroundings becomes clear.

The Expo landscapes reinterpret elements of a spontaneous rural and urban landscape, and are configured at the same time to be areas for socialising, leisure and gathering. But the Expo landscapes first and foremost tell a tale, through a didactic-exhibition journey, developed along the guiding thread of the relationship

between man and nature, following the exhibition's theme: Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life.

They narrate the uses and transformations man has made on nature and how nature reacts to the action of man: the passage from spontaneous nature to an anthropic model for the purpose of food, and therefore agriculture, deriving from this a meeting point between function, landscape modelling and garden art, then transferring production techniques into cultural action.

The relationship between man and nature expressed differently in the seven sub-themes of the exhibition site: from the primitive nature of the green belt forest, to nature regenerated/purified by phytopurification tanks, the recalling of elements of agricultural landscape in lines, Mediterranean hills, expression of Mediterranean landscape between nature and modelling by

man, to the Hortus (a project developed in collaboration with architect Franco Zagari) as an allusion to the agricultural origin of the art of gardening, to more urban, welcoming and formal landscapes of piazzas.

The Expo landscapes are also highly relevant in terms of achieving ecological-environmental sustainability for the exhibition city and its surroundings. The phytopurification tanks are an example of this aim, comprising actual water gardens that purify and return runoff rainwater from the exhibition site into the environment, but especially the forest around the canal surrounding the exhibition island, a barrier-ecosystem (in harmony with the surrounding natural areas) to combat polluting dust, and for acoustic and visual relief.

This forest of rigorously au-

tochthonous species, mirrored in the spontaneous lowland woods, also has highly significant relevance in establishing the urban footprint at the site: it is not a barrier so much as a principle of a new relationship between the Expo area and nearby areas that have experienced decay, a first step and at the same time a model for urban upgrading between the chaotic hinterland of Milan responding, with a return to primitive nature, to the negative context developed by man, recovering the relationship between city and nature that has become lost in the metropolitan space.

I would now like to underline some innovative aspects that have helped bring this design and implementation process to fruition, in the hope that they can constitute a useful reference for the future.

The decision - made by Expo - for the early selection of plants, more than two years prior to works being started at the exhibition site, was fundamental and innovative for public projects of this scale, both because it permitted the selection of quality material, and also because it was from the start a definitive commitment to completing the works. Cultivation contracts are based around a fundamental element of the landscaping project, the need to choose each tree specimen in advance. It is a long and complex task, but one that is vital to achieve the high quality standard that is present at Expo today. The 12,000 trees, along with 85,000 shrubs, and aquatic and herbaceous plants, defined the project's extraordinary strength from the start.

Giambò Piante is an important reality in the Sicilian Nursery Sector. It grew around a compact family team that reached third generation succeeded in joining his entrepreneurial capacity to enthusiasm and love for plants. He adapted the managerial policy to the demands of the market and obtained this way an improvement of his product selection year by year.

The choice to concentrate all his energy on the production of ornamental citrus plants was a success ad enabled the nursery to export his products Europe wide. This also thanks to achievement of the MPS-GAP certificate (an environmental program for ornamental cultivation) which is characterized by the respect of ethic and security norms for workers and labour security, constantly investing in production technologies with a low environmental impact.

The “Corporate Mission” is the constant staff training and the continuous investment in production technologies with low environmental impact. The nursery covers ca. 130 acres and is situated in the Northern coast of Sicily. With a staff of 30 workers and specialized technicians, the citrus plants are cultivated in pots out of soil employing a computerized irrigation/fertilization system which provides the perfect dose of fertilizer according to the climatic conditions in real time. The quality in citrus plants means: get off on the right foot and on the right seed.

The “Giambò Piante” company is distinguished by a wide variety of “cultivar” of oranges, lemon, kumquat, calamondin and many other specific plants. Some of our special varieties are Citrus Histrix, Latifolia, Auratifolia, Pursha, Limequat, Australasica, Kucle.

Another element, in my opinion characteristic for the Expo landscapes, was the decision to use

be greatly developed in contemporary landscapes. These are plants of extraordinary intrinsic beauty strikingly close to nature and mark a path of sustainability. This is what we need in our cities where nature is scarce, difficult to comprehend and therefore to live.

The Expo project also demonstrates the possibility of obtaining, where it is needed, the ready effect. And the “Moving Forest”, namely the great community of 12,000 splendid and majestic trees planted on the exhibition island over the course of just a few months, I believe is proof.

It was also agreed to ask the European Commission for significant high funding that will allow 1) rapid reaction against the first detections, including compensation for owners if eradication measures must be taken and 2) start or enhance R&D projects to prevent and fight against Xylella and other quarantine pests and diseases.

The General Assembly debated about the effects of the EU Regulation on the Invasive Alien Species on plants produced and

marketed by European nurseries.

It was stated that the Regulation does not provide for any exceptions for varieties obtained with the purpose of creating sterile and non-invasive forms. The Regulation refers without exception to species as lower rank taxa, while there are many noninvasive varieties and cultivation forms on the market; for example, sterile varieties not producing seeds.

It was agreed to offer the ENA specialists support to the European Commission’s committees

on Invasive Alien Species.

Leon Smet, chairman of the ENA International Plant Names List Working Group, updated the delegates about changing names and adding new species and varieties to the list. It was decided to finish the names compilation work by the end of summer to have time during autumn to review it, with the aim of publishing the new International Plant Names List in early 2016. (www.internationalplantnames.com) All ENA delegates shared information about the trends on plant

production and internal and export markets of nurseries in each country, summarized in a table that ENA President Mr Tim Edwards proposed to update twice a year.

The summer meeting finished visiting Splendor Plant (www.spelndorplant.se), one of Sweden’s largest nurseries, and Tönnersjö Nursery (www.tonnersjo.se), one of Sweden’s largest tree producers, guided by Patrick Svensson, the Swedish nurseryman and VicePresident of ENA. ■

Lineaverde News Xylella: requests for additional export documents from nurseries even in unaffected areas

The Italian Minister of Agriculture has announced that operators from a number of EU member countries are asking for official statements for Xylella fastidiosa which are non-compliant with current phytosanitary regulations, without which they will not purchase Italian plants. In particular, the purchase is refused if the plants are not accompanied by a statement certifying they were produced exclusively in the seller's nursery, in addition to the inXylella : demande de documents tra-EU phytosanitary notification document certifying that the plants prosupplémentaires pour l’exportation duced in non-demarcated areas are free from Xylella fastidiosa. These remême aux pépiniéristes des zones quirements are not compliant with current European phytosanitary regulaindemnes tions on Xylella fastidiosa, pursuant to which phytosanitary measures are not required for the sale of plant products produced in areas outside the demarcated areas. As is well known, the Commission's Decision 2015/789 adopted phytosanitary measures to prevent the introduction and diffusion in the European Union of Xylella fastidiosa. In particular it made it mandatory to conduct annual surveys to detect the eventual presence of Xylella fastidiosa in Member States, as well as introducing specific measures for the movement of specified plants within the EU. Based on the Ministerial Decree of 19 June 2015, which assimilated the abovementioned Decision 2015/789, a specific Baumschulen seit 1887 permanent monitoring plan was organised across the nation for the purpose of verifying the presence of Xylella fastidiosa. In the month of September, more than 10,000 visual inspections and 8,246 laboratory analyses were recorded, carried out across all regions of Italy with the exclusion of the delimited area. The results of this survey (all returning negative results) highlighted how the entire territory of Italy is free from Xylella fastidiosa, and that its DURCH KÖNIGLICHEN ERLASS HOFLIEFERANT presence is confined only to the area of Salento, in Apulia. ■

There are 3,000 billion trees on earth The global distribution of trees on the earth is a fundamental question for understanding the biosphere, and in this sense the results of a census that appeared in Nature were surprising. A team of researchers coordinated by the department of environmental studies at Yale, in the United States, conducted an in-depth study using data that did not come exclusively from satellite images. And this is the great novelty: the map of the extent of forests on a global scale was updated and improved thanks to data provided by counts made in 50 countries. Thanks to the combination of data from satellites, forest databases and research in the field verified on the ground, it was discovered that for every inhabitant of the world, there are as many as 422 trees, for a total of more than 3.04 thousand billion trees on the earth. And this was not all that emerged. It was also found that the greatest concentration of trees, with approximately 1.39 thousand billion trees, is located in the tropical and subtropical forests, followed by 740 billion in boreal regions and 610 billion in temperate zones.

The data does not reveal a fully positive situation: the effects of man on the lungs of the earth since the beginning of civilization are ruinous. More than 15 billion trees are cut down every year, amounting to an estimated loss of 46% of global vegetation. ■

Lineaverde News ENA statement on the health of Italian plants Here follows an important statement from the ENA (European Nurserystock Association) regarding Xylella fastidiosa.

ENA supports the strong measures the European Commission adopted to prevent the import of infected plants into European countries and would Déclaration de l’ENA like to recommend that countries outside the European Union also adopt sur la santé des them. At the same time, the ENA opposes any additional measures applied plantes italiennes by member states that prevent free circulation of goods in the EU without solid scientific proof. The ENA is also following the spread of other infestations and diseases in different countries with great apprehension: polyphagous Anoplophora glabripennis and Anoplophora chinensis on many species of ornamental plants, disease from the fungus Hymenoscyphus pseudoalbidus (Chalara fraxinea) that affects Fraxinus, the new disease from the fungus Phytophthora lateralis del Chamaecyparis, the threat from the Emerald Ash Borer, Agrilus planipennis, the bacteria Erwinia amylovora appearing in new nations and regions of Europe, and the disease from the fungus Cryphonectria parasitica on Castanea sativa.

As the spread of diseases that need to be quarantined represents a great risk and danger both for the environment as well as for agriculture in all European countries, the ENA is asking the European Union for significant funding to provide for: 1 - ready reaction at the first signs of identification, and compensation for home owners who participate in the eradication; 2 - the launch or enhancement of research and development projects to prevent and combat the abovementioned infestations and diseases.

We are convinced that European horticulturalists are working with high phytosanitary standards and in line with regulations, however we would like to note that there are always fewer phytopharmaceuticals available on the market and this deprives plant nurseries of the tools they need to fight harmful organisms or their carriers. We accept that it is vital to increase controls to guarantee plant health, however we are asking the European Union authorities to root out and to streamline the approval process in European countries for phytopharmaceuticals authorised for growing non-edible plants, for use, for example, by nurseries. Live plants are considered the greatest vehicle of propagation of infestations and diseases, but, at the same time, the products available to combat them are very scarce. While it is not opposed to importing plants from third countries, the ENA deems that the arrival of large quantities of plants for commercial purposes notably increases the risk of spreading serious infestations and diseases. The European Commission must ensure that all member states come into line with phytosanitary standards. In fact, if just a single member state is not rigorous in applying import controls, that country will naturally become the place that could introduce harmful organisms. To prevent unfair competition from third countries and guarantee reciprocal commercial relations, an inverse strategy of community phytosanitary policy must be adopted, harmonizing and improving import controls. To minimise risks, European plant importers also need to be involved in the process. We believe that nurseries in European areas hit by Xylella fastidiosa have the greatest interest in combating it. Italy is addressing the problem and is free from the disease except in the delimited area, where EU approved measures are already being applied. To defeat this disease, ENA believes it is absolutely vital to eradicate infected plants without delay and increase economic contributions from all the authorities involved. The disease is now isolated in the delimited area, therefore horticulturalists in the rest of the European Union should not be alarmed, but simply aware of the existence of this disease and continue to work with elevated phytosanitary control standards.

Lastly, ENA asks European politicians on all levels to not use infestations and diseases for political bargaining, but to create policies that prevent the propagation of infestations and diseases, and commit to helping those who are affected.

Myplant & Garden (24-26 february, Milan): project, landscape and green building

Myplant & Garden (24.-26. Februar, Mailand): Projekt, Landschaft und grünes Bauen

For the first time in Italy - which will be the capital of the landscape sector in 2016, the inMyplant & Garden ternational year of landscape - an exhibition will directly connect the protagonists of the ar(24-26 février, Milan) : projet, chitecture sector and of the building industry, flower and plant providers for projects and paysage et construction éco-compatible (green building) private and public, urban and extra-urban green areas. The project themes, connected with landscape and green building, and the concepts of requalification and promotion, completely involve both the building industry and the flower and plant sector. For this reason, Myplant & Garden will host a knowledge sharing area which will give birth to new synergies creating business and jobs, on one side, and wellness, on the other side. The central corridor leading visitors to the congress area will be transformed into a cycle path. Many topics about green building on small and big scale and light infrastructure will be discussed there. The protagonists (universities, project managers, planners, public administration…) of important green requalification projects will be invited to explain the benefits and the direct (project, works and maintenance) and indirect (tourism, accommodation facilities, systems and sub-systems) activities related to their projects. The 2016 edition of the international green fair will become a real, direct and immediate opportunity for project managers, companies, public administrations and institutions to connect, discuss and make business. Future green projects, exhibition stalls for companies, building materials, new technologies, urban requalification projects, big names in the landscape architecture sector, emerging project managers in the design and green architecture world, outdoor furniture are the tesserae of this green building mosaic. Cycle paths will be discussed at Myplant & Garden with projects and business opportunities. Also healing gardens will be introduced through many real experiences in the creation and use of therapeutic and educational gardens, green areas and spaces for private and public structures, from kindergartens to hospitals, from nursing homes to schools and museum-parks. The creative contest (which involved 59 subscribers in its first edition) goes in the same direction: it aims at the diffusion and qualification of project makers and professionals working in the garden sector, landscape design and conservation. ■ www.myplantgarden.com

Lineaverde News Zephyr: zero impact technology to respond to the challenge of zero hunger in the world Zephyr was officially revealed to the public on 21 October 2015, at the Palazzo della Regione Lombardia in Milan. Fourteen international and four university partners took part in the Zephyr research project to develop a growing chamber for forestry plants in a controlled and sustainable environment (zero impact), particularly suited for species in danger of extinction and for those with a high commercial value, such as medicinal and nutraceutical plants. The germination of a forest plant seed requires very specific conditions. Providing such conditions helps to preserve biodiversity, as plants produced from cuttings are essentially clones. The new system includes ten files of trays that continually rotate beneath three rows of LED lamps, a robotic arm fitted with stereocamera and wireless micro-sensors that keep the plants under control, and monitor them remotely. The plants are cultivated in individual pots containing the optimal quantity of substrate and, instead of the 10 lamps required by similar systems, it uses only 3 lamps powered by solar panels and with light spectrums specially designed for different species, according to protocols for specific growth. The system therefore produces high quality forestry plants, with stronger roots to promote a greater rate of survival when they are transplanted to forest environments. The system requires much less water, soil, energy and space, in addition to not needing fertilizer. ■

The project, financed by the étiquette de qualité pour les Ministero delle Politiche Agricole, Alimentari e Forestali, has established a fleurs et les plantes italiennes certification of the Italian plants and flowers to fulfil high requirements in the areas of environmental and of social aspect, and moreover to ensure the greatest market opportunities. In 2011 a survey has been carried out throughout several visits in a sample of farms of the Italian regions involved in order to verify the status quo and the adoption level of the traceability, environmental and social sustainability requirements for a definitive drawing up of the VivaiFiori Standard. Now the Label, the Standard and the relative Codes have been registered. The VivaiFiori Label is owned by the VivaiFiori Committee, composed by the most important nursery association in Italy.

The audit of the VivaiFiori Standard Requirements compliance is carried out by an Inspection and Certification Body that ensures independence, neutrality and then the believableness of the VivaiFiori process itself. Today farms from Piemonte, Liguria, Lombardia, Veneto, Toscana, Lazio, Campania, Puglia, Sicilia are certified and sell VivaiFiori products.

The products labelled VivaiFiori ensure to consumer: - the "made in Italy" and the origin. The product traceability is ensured from the consumer to the Italian farm.

The origin and cultivation methods of a product remain traceable, a guarantee that the consumer expects and greatly values.

- The environmental sustainability. The growers comply with the requirements on: the natural resources management (water, energy,...), waste management, propagation material, soil and substrate management, fertilizer use, harvesting and post-harvest treatments.

- The social sustainability. The producers comply with the National Labour Contract and with the National Safety Law in work places, in order to ensure the best working conditions. ■

Introductory remarks These technical-botanical information sheets are born of a desire to create an instrument able to link our horticulturalists’ commercial offers with the design and planning needs of those who create green solutions, from landscape architects to agronomists, and from gardeners to construction companies. The information sheets are therefore intended to be a source of inspiration for the design and creation of green areas featuring the widest possible range of species, chosen both for their aesthetic and their agronomic characteristics.

There is, of course, no shortage of books on plants, and in recent times excellent descriptions of plants can also be found in nursery trade catalogues, but the present publication is intended to stand out by offering the most up-to-date de-

scriptions of the new varieties present on the market and of other extremely interesting varieties that tend to be little used because they are not well known. We have therefore gathered together a wealth of information, ranging from descriptions of the plants, where we highlight their botanical and agronomic characteristics, to criteria for making choices, such as sizes, behaviour and use.

This has allowed us to highlight other aspects – resistance to pollution, allergenic aspects, nursery procedures and different types of cultivation. The production of these information sheets depends on the ongoing collaboration of our horticulturalists, whom we wish to thank in advance for their time.
