Santa Clara Valley Water District Landscape Rebate Program Qualifying Plant List Attached is the current Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD) Landscape Rebate *G = Genetic Concerns This genus contains species native to Santa Clara County Program Qualifying Plant List. The list is based on the WUCOLS III 1999 Edition and or cultivars that have parents which are native to Santa Clara County. Consult a the WUCOLS IV 2014 Edition, published by the University of California Cooperative plant ecologist or native plant database to determine if your landscape project is Extension and the California Department of Water Resources, as well as input from located within 5 miles of wild populations. If so, please follow these suggestions to several botanists that work in Santa Clara County. WUCOLS stands for Water Use protect local genetic integrity: 1) select a local ecotype 2) avoid use of cultivars or Classification of Landscape Species, and is a guide that provides evaluated water needs hybrids, especially those with non-local or unknown parentage and 3) avoid use of for more than 3,700 plant species in California. All of the plants on the Landscape Rebate nonnative ornamentals which share the same genus in order to prevent unnatural Program (LRP) Qualifying Plant List are considered low or very low water using plants hybridization. in Region 1 according to the WUCOLS guide. Highly invasive plants have been removed from the list. Customers are required to select plants from the following plant list in References order to meet the minimum 50% plant coverage requirement for the Landscape Rebate Program. Bay Area Early Detection Network’s Early Detection & Rapid Response Target Species List, 2010: http://www.cal-ipc.org/WMAs/BAEDN/BAEDN_EDRRSpecies2010.pdf Plant coverage values are calculated based on the mature size of the plant. The value is obtained by determining the area of a circle using the plant spread or width as the Calflora: http://www.calflora.org/ diameter. To find the area of a circle, square the diameter and multiply by .7854. Squaring the diameter means multiplying the diameter by itself. For example, a plant with a 5 California Invasive Plant Council, Invasive Plant Inventory Database for the Central foot spread would be calculated as follows: .7854 x 5 ft diameter x 5 ft diameter = 20 West: http://www.cal-ipc.org/ip/inventory/weedlist.php?region=CW sq ft (values are rounded to the nearest whole number). The coverage values have been predetermined for most of the plants listed on the LRP Qualifying Plant List. For The Jepson Online Interchange, California Floristics, U.C. Berkeley values not provided, please refer to reputable gardening books or nurseries in order to determine the diameter of the plant at maturity or contact the SCVWD for assistance. http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/interchange.html Plants included on the LRP Qualifying Plant List that are listed by the genus name only (i.e. Ceanothus ssp.) indicate that every species and every cultivar of that plant is Sunset Western Garden Book, Sunset Publishing Company, 2001 considered low or very low water using and each species would qualify toward the 50% plant coverage requirement. If you are planning to install one of these plants, please WUCOLS III 1999 Edition: include the entire name of the plant (genus, species, and cultivar) on your plant list.

He was not in mourning from the Crows loss.

  • Postharvest Storage and Handling of Ranunculus Asiaticus Dried Tuberous Roots

    Postharvest Storage and Handling of Ranunculus Asiaticus Dried Tuberous Roots

    POSTHARVEST STORAGE AND HANDLING OF RANUNCULUS ASIATICUS DRIED TUBEROUS ROOTS A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Christopher Brian Cerveny January 2011 © 2011 Christopher Brian Cerveny POSTHARVEST STORAGE AND HANDLING OF RANUNCULUS ASIATICUS DRIED TUBEROUS ROOTS Christopher B. Cerveny, Ph. D. Cornell University 2011 Ranunculus asiaticus is an ornamental flowering plant with potential to be more widely used by the floriculture industry. Unfortunately, growers are faced with many challenges when producing these plants from their dry tuberous roots following storage; including poor sprouting, non-uniform growth, disease issues upon planting, as well as inconsistent cultural recommendations and lack of proper storage and handling protocols. Several experiments were conducted to determine the influence of temperature and relative humidity during storage on growth and quality of R. asiaticus plants. From our experiments it can be concluded that R. asiaticus tubers store best under low relative humidity and cool temperatures (above freezing). Also important from a storage perspective, unlike other flower bulbs, we show that R. asiaticus tuberous roots are not susceptible to ethylene damage while in the dry state. Prior to planting, tubers should be submerged in room-temperature water at around 20 oC, for 24 h, and then provided a fungicide treatment. We have shown that proper hydration temperature for R. asiaticus tuberous roots is critical for optimal growth. By following the protocol generated from our experiments, many of the production challenges associated with R. asiaticus tuberous roots may be avoided.

    Trecanna’s Choice Trecanna Nursery is a family-run plant nursery owned by Mark & Karen Wash and set on Cornish slopes of the Tamar Valley, specialising in unusual bulbs & perennials, Crocosmias and other South African plants, and Sempervivums. Each month Mark will write a feature on some of his very favourite plants. NEW OPENING HOURS - Trecanna Nursery is now open from Wednesday to Saturday, plus Bank Holidays throughout the year, from 10am to 5pm, (or phone to arrange a visit at other times). There are currently over 160 varieties of potted less- usual bulbs plus over 80 varieties of Crocosmia ready for sale – this is the best time to pick up the rarer varieties. Trecanna Nursery is located approx. 2 miles north of Gunnislake. Follow the Brown signs from opposite the Donkey Park on the A390, Callington to Gunnislake road. Tel: 01822 834680. Email: [email protected] ‘Bring On The Anemones’ I would guess that somewhere or other, all of us have at least one form of Anemone tucked away in our garden, whether we know it or not. In all, there are around 120 species and they vary enormously from tiny rock-garden plants to the tall herbaceous perennials and can flower as early as February or as late as October. In the wild they come from a wide range of habitats mainly in the Northern Hemisphere but a few also come from further South. There is some doubt as to where the name “Anemone” originally comes from. Some believe that is derived from the Greek word “Anemos”, meaning Wind – this eludes to the way that the flowers tend to shake in the gentlest of breezes.

After thirty two years, this still remains our primary goal. Others may be focusing elsewhere, but we remain firmly committed to the independent retailers and landscape professionals that have long been loyal to us. We thank our customers for their continued business and offer them this 2011 catalog with many exciting new plants, but no overall price increases. We also remain committed to the fact that water remains a precious and limited commodity. To this end we continue to expand our line of water conserving succulents and plants from mediterranean climates, including many from our own California flora. This catalog has 145 new plants, which are all listed at the back of this catalog and are accompanied within the catalog body with a star ( ). Of these new plants, 56 are succulents, bringing the total number of succulents we now grow to 379, and 29 are California native plants, bringing our total of native plants to 156. We also are proud to offer 9 new plants from the UC Santa Cruz Koala Blooms Australian Native Plant program and so now are growing 29 great plants from this program and bringing to 190 the total number of different Australian plants that we currently grow.

The plant innate immune system has two major branches, the pathogen-triggered immunity and the effector-triggered immunity (ETI). The effectors are molecules released by plant attackers to evade host immunity. In addition to the foreign intruders, plants possess endogenous instigators produced in response to general cellular injury termed as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). In plants, DAMPs or alarmins are released by damaged, stressed, or dying cells following abiotic stress such as radiation, oxidative and drought stresses.
