  • P L a N T L I S T Water-Wise Trees and Shrubs for the High Plains
    P L A N T L I S T Water-Wise Trees and Shrubs for the High Plains By Steve Scott, Cheyenne Botanic Gardens Horticulturist 03302004 © Cheyenne Botanic Gardens 2003 710 S. Lions Park Dr., Cheyenne WY, 82001 www.botanic.org The following is a list of suitable water-wise trees and shrubs that are suitable for water- wise landscaping also known as xeriscapes. Many of these plants may suffer if they are placed in areas receiving more than ¾ of an inch of water per week in summer. Even drought tolerant trees and shrubs are doomed to failure if grasses or weeds are growing directly under and around the plant, especially during the first few years. It is best to practice tillage, hoeing, hand pulling or an approved herbicide to kill all competing vegetation for the first five to eight years of establishment. Avoid sweetening the planting hole with manure or compost. If the soil is needs improvement, improve the whole area, not just the planting hole. Trees and shrubs generally do best well with no amendments. Many of the plants listed here are not available in department type stores. Your best bets for finding these plants will be in local nurseries- shop your hometown first! Take this list with you. Encourage nurseries and landscapers to carry these plants! For more information on any of these plants please contact the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens (307-637-6458), the Cheyenne Forestry Department (307-637-6428) or your favorite local nursery. CODE KEY- The code key below will assist you in selecting for appropriate characteristics.

    USDA United States Department of Representativeness Assessment of Agriculture Forest Service Research Natural Areas on Rocky Mountain Research Station National Forest System Lands General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-45 in Idaho March 2000 Steven K. Rust Abstract Rust, Steven K. 2000. Representativeness assessment of research natural areas on National Forest System lands in Idaho. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-45. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 129 p. A representativeness assessment of National Forest System (N FS) Research Natural Areas in ldaho summarizes information on the status of the natural area network and priorities for identification of new Research Natural Areas. Natural distribution and abundance of plant associations is compared to the representation of plant associations within natural areas. Natural distribution and abundance is estimated using modeled potential natural vegetation, published classification and inventory data, and Heritage plant community element occur- rence data. Minimum criteria are applied to select only viable, high quality plant association occurrences. In assigning natural area selection priorities, decision rules are applied to encompass consideration of the adequacy and viability of representation. Selected for analysis were 1,024 plant association occurrences within 21 4 natural areas (including 115 NFS Research Natural Areas). Of the 1,566 combinations of association within ecological sections, 28 percent require additional data for further analysis; 8, 40, and 12 percent, respectively, are ranked from high to low conservation priority; 13 percent are fully represented. Patterns in natural area needs vary between ecological section. The result provides an operational prioritization of Research Natural Area needs at landscape and subregional scales.

    Idaho's Registry of Champion Big Trees 06.13.2019 Yvonne Barkley, Director Idaho Big Tree Program TEL: (208) 885-7718; Email: [email protected] The Idaho Big Tree Program is part of a national program to locate, measure, and recognize the largest individual tree of each species in Idaho. The nominator(s) and owner(s) are recognized with a certificate, and the owners are encouraged to help protect the tree. Most states, including Idaho, keep records of state champion trees and forward contenders to the national program. To search the National Registry of Champion Big Trees, go to http://www.americanforests.org/bigtrees/bigtrees- search/ The National Big Tree program defines trees as woody plants that have one erect perennial stem or trunk at least 9½ inches in circumference at DBH, with a definitively formed crown of foliage and at least 13 feet in height. There are more than 870 species and varieties eligible for the National Register of Big Trees. Hybrids, minor varieties, and cultivars are excluded from the National listing but all but cultivars are accepted for the Idaho listing. The currently accepted scientific and common names are from the USDA Plants Database (PLANTS) http://plants.usda.gov/java/ and the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) http://www.itis.gov/ Champion trees status is awarded using a point system. To calculate a tree’s total point value, American Forests uses the following equation: Trunk circumference (inches) + height (feet) + ¼ average crown spread (feet) = total points. The registered champion tree is the one in the nation with the most points.

    1.Adorni 1.Adorni (Cheng 1997a, Sawyer 1981a) Location This established RNA is on the Six Rivers National Forest. It lies about 3 miles (5 km) N. of Weitchpec, Humboldt County, covering portions of sects. 25 and 26 T10N, R4E HBM (41°14'N., 123°41'W.), USGS Weitchpec quad (fig. 3). Ecological subsections – Gasquet Mountain Ultramafics (M261Ab) and Eastern Franciscan (M261Ba). Target Element Port Orford-Cedar (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana) Distinctive Features Port Orford-Cedar (POC): This species is restricted to the Klamath Mountains and the adjacent S. Oregon Coast Figure 3—Adorni RNA Ranges. Throughout much of its range it is threatened by root rot disease (Phytophthora lateralis), and suitable areas for protection are needed. The area is representative of the low-elevation, mesic portion of the W. Klamath Mountains. In comparison with Upper Goose Creek (#91), however, it is less mesic, and such species as Rhododendron macrophyllum, western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla), and giant chinquapin (Chrysolepis chrysophylla) are rare or absent. POC is more widespread in the forest away from drainage bottoms than at Upper Goose Creek. In comparison to Cedar Basin (#15), L.E. Horton (#50), and Rock Creek Butte (#70) candidate RNAs, Adorni is a warmer, less montane environment largely without ultramafic substrate. POC in Adorni is less restricted to stream courses than those in Cedar Basin, L.E. Horton, and Rock Creek Butte. Rare Plants: Erythronium citrinum and Lilium rubescens are members of CNPS List 4 species. Large Tanoak (Lithocarpus densiflorus): A small area in the SW. part of the site has several exceptionally large specimens of tanoak.

  • Pit Membranes in Tracheary Elements of Rosaceae and Related Families: New Records of Tori and Pseudotori1

Box 9514, NL-2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands; and 7Department of Biological Sciences, 101 Life Sciences Building, Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama 36849 USA The micromorphology of pits in tracheary elements was examined in 35 species representing 29 genera of Rosaceae and related families to evaluate the assumption that angiosperm pits are largely invariant. In most Rosaceae, pit membranes between fibers and tracheids frequently appear to have amorphous thickenings with an irregular distribution. Although these structures are torus- like under the light microscope, observations by electron microscopy illustrate that they represent ‘‘pseudotori’’ or plasmodesmata-associated thickenings. These thickenings frequently extend from the periphery of the pit membrane and form a cap-like, hollow structure. Pseudotori are occasionally found in few Elaeagnaceae and Rhamnaceae and appear to be related to species with fiber-tracheids and/or tracheids. True tori are strongly associated with round to oval pit apertures and are consistently present in narrow tracheary elements of Cercocarpus (Rosaceae), Planera (Ulmaceae), and ring-porous species of Ulmus and Zelkova (Ulmaceae).

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF J. Edward Dealy for the degree ofDoctor of Philosophy in Forest Management presented on ;14L-23; /2 Title: ECOLOGY OF CURLLEAF MOUNTAIN-MAHOGANY (CERCOCARPtJS LEDIFOLIUS NUTT.) IN EASTERN OREGON AND ADJAC-NT AREAJJ Abstract approved: signature redacted for privacy. Dr. Richard K. Hermann C ercocarpus ledifolius (curlleaf mountain- mahogany),a small, hardwood evergreen tree, was studied to provide informationon germination and initial seedling growth characteristics, and the species' relationship to its environment.and associated vegetation. Exceptional germination for this species resulted from botha wet cold treatment at 4°C for 170 days (88 percent), and a 15-minute soak in a 30 percent solution of H202 (64 percent).Total and partial embryo excision indicated two possible deterrents to germination: mechanical impedance by the seed coat or a gas diffusion block by the membrane surrounding the embryo.The latter was concluded to be the most likely deterrent. Planting techniques must provide for seed coat deterioration by fall seeding (which allows moist winter conditions to do this)or by a brief, strong chemical treatment before spring planting. A pronounced specialization was demonstrated for rapid root growth in relation to top growth of seedlings for at least 120 days following germination.Under optimum laboratory conditions, the six most vigorous seedlings extended roots an average 1. 13 m in 120 days, but developed only 4 cm2 of leaf area and 2. 35 cm of shoot height, indicating a high potential for re-establishment of natural stands after decimation by fire or logging, or in the face of grass and shrub competition.Seedling stem diameter immediately above the root crown was an indicator of root vigor.Seedlings with the largest diameter stems were deepest rooted.
