Imperial Hardware (3750 Main Street) This c.1900 building was rebuilt after a fire in the 1930's in the Art Deco Style and renamed Westbrook’s Hardware. It was sold to Imperial Hardware and in the early 1960's the Art Deco façade was covered with a modern false front. That false front was removed in 2007 to reveal the 1930s Art Deco façade.

Australian Desert Lime

Jeff3629 posted a photo:

The Australian desert lime, Eremocitrus glauca, is a pronounced xerophyte, the only one found thus far in the orange subfamily. It is able to withstand severe drouth and hot dry winds. Under such conditions the leaves fall off and the leafless gray-green twigs (resembling those of the smoke tree, Dalea spinosa, and the paloverdes, common in the arid regions of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico) carry on photosynthesis on a reduced scale.

Inarches of the Parent Navel Orange Tree

nobody@flickr.com (Jeff3629) — Sun, 02 Dec 2012 08:46:46 -0800

The preservation of the parent Washington navel orange tree was dependant on the inarches made in 1918 and repeated again in 1951. Here are the mature inarches. Today the tree is 139 years old, healthy and still bearing fruit.

On April 23rd 1902, one of the two parent navel orange trees was transplanted from the Tibbets homestead to its present location in a small fenced park at the corner of Arlington and Magnolia Avenues. The remaining parent navel orange tree was transplanted on May 8th, 1903 to the courtyard of the Glenwood tavern, now known as the Mission Inn, and was displayed at a prominent place at the Inn. However, within a few years (1922) that tree died of gummosis (Phytophthora).

Phytophthora (gummosis) was and is one of the most serious of all citrus diseases and the sweet orange is highly susceptible to this fungal disease. It attacks the roots, trunk and scion effectively girdling the tree. Phytophthora decimated citrus trees worldwide; especially the seedling trees of sweet orange, grapefruit and lemon which are all very susceptible to the fungus.

The other parent Washington orange tree in its small park in Riverside began to show decline from Phytophthora (gummosis) about 1915-1917. In 1918 that tree was inarched by Dr. H. J. Webber, H. W. Mertz and Glenn Blackman of the Citrus Experiment Station. They successfully inarched the tree with seedlings of sweet orange, rough lemon and sour orange. It was noted In 1951 that some of the original inarches were girdled with Phytophthora lesions. Therefore, in that same year a second inarching was done using three seedlings of Troyer citrange and one of trifoliate orange. These were grafted into the trunk by Denard C. Wylie, Senior Superintendent of Cultivations at the Citrus Experiment Station. Inarching is a form of grafting where wood is grafted above the damaged area to bypass or support a damaged area of the trunk and goes into the soil to grow new roots.

The Citrus Experiment Station formed the basis of what became the University of California, Riverside in 1954.
