  • Climate Ready Trees for Central Valley Communities
    The goal of this study is to evaluate the survival and growth of seldom used but promising trees in the Central Valley. We can create more resilient Climate Ready Trees for urban forests by shifting the palate of trees planted to those proven to Central Valley Communities perform best when exposed to climate stressors such as heat, drought, high winds, pests, disease and soil salinity. 1. Mulga (Acacia aneura) Mulga is native to arid Western Australia and tolerates hot and dry conditions. It can grow in sandy, loam, or clay soil types. This versatile and hardy tree produces ascending thornless branches and grows 15 to 20 feet in height. The evergreen foliage is gray-green and the tree has yellow flowers in the spring. Maintain leader to avoid suckering. 2. Netleaf Hackberry (Celtis reticulata) The Netleaf Hackberry is native to riparian areas in the Southwest. A deciduous tree, it reaches heights of 25 to 35 feet with a spreading or weeping canopy. The ovate leaves are medium green and turn yellow in the fall. The flowers mature into red drupes that attract birds. The Netleaf Hackberry is drought tolerant and able to thrive in variety of soil types. 3. Desert Willow (Chilopsis linearis ‘Bubba’) The Desert Willow is a small flowering desert tree native to California and the Southwest. The cultivar Bubba can reach 25 to 30 feet with a spread of 20 to 25 feet. It has profuse, long- lasting blooms. The showy flowers are pink and white. Leaves are linear blue green and turn golden in the fall.

  • Macfarlane's Four O'clock (Mirabilis Macfarlanei)
    Macfarlane's four o'clock (Mirabilis macfarlanei) ENDANGERED Flowers (left), habit (center), and habitat (right) of Macfarlane’s four o’clock. Photos by Thomas Kaye. If downloading images from this website, please credit the photographer. Family Nyctaginaceae Plant description Macfarlane’s four o’clock is a stout perennial that forms hemispheric clumps 0.6-1.2 m in diameter, with several freely branched decumbent or ascending stems that are glabrous to sparsely puberulent. The leaves are opposite and fleshy, the lower blades orbicular to ovate-deltoid, the upper narrowly ovate. The petioles of lower leaves are 1- 2.5 cm long; upper leaves are nearly sessile. Flowers are clustered (4-7) in involucres borne on stalks about 1 cm long in the upper axils and on shoot apices. The conspicuous involucres are green to purplish, 1.3-2.5 cm long. The showy perianth is magenta, broadly funnelform, and 1.5-2.5 cm long, the limb slightly longer than the tube. The ellipsoid fruits are light brown to grayish, with 10 slender ribs visible when wet, 6-9 mm long, tuberculate, glabrous or very sparsely puberulent. Distinguishing characteristics No other Mirabilis species occur within the range of Macfarlane’s four o’clock. Mirabilis laevis var. retrorsa has shorter involucres (0.5-0.7 cm long), a white to pale pink perianth, and ranges from Malheur and Harney Counties in Oregon southward. Macfarlane’s four o’clock is most closely related to M. multiflora var. glandulosa and M. greenei, which occur in Nevada and California, respectively, and have longer involucres and larger perianths.

MacFarlane’s four-o’clock is a perennial herb that FOUR-O’CLOCK forms hemispheric clumps from 23 to 32 inches across (Spellenberg, 2003). The inflorescence is a Mirabilis macfarlanei cluster of 3 to 7 magenta flowers, each approximately Constance & Rollins 1 inch in diameter. Flowering typically occurs from Plant Symbol = MIMA2 May to early June. Leaves are opposite, green above and waxy below. Lower leaves are widely ovate to Contributed by: USDA NRCS Idaho Plant Materials deltoid with a rounded to heart-shaped base. The Program plants arise from a thickened tuber (1.5 to 3 inches thick) which sends out shoots to produce daughter clones. Distribution: There are currently eleven known populations in Idaho County, Idaho and Wallowa County, Oregon. The total geographic range covers approximately 29 by 18 miles (Kaye, 1992). For current distribution, consult the Plant Profile page for this species on the PLANTS Web site. Habitat: The species occurs in grassland habitats in steep river canyons from 1,000 to 3,000 feet in elevation. Populations occur primarily in bunchgrass communities dominated by bluebunch wheatgrass, Snake River wheatgrass, Sandberg bluegrass, sand Figure 1.

How to choose a high quality tree, watering tips, proper planting techniques and tree species selection will be covered in this guide. We encourage you to further research any unknown variables or questions that may arise when the answers are not found in this guide. Trees play an important role in Grand Junction by improving our environment and our enjoyment of the outdoors. We hope this material will encourage you to plant more trees in a healthy, sustainable manner that will benefit our future generations. If you have any questions please contact the City of Grand Junction Forestry Department at 254-3821. Sincerely, The Grand Junction Forestry Board 1 Problems & Challenges in Western Colorado Most Common Problems • Plan before you plant – Know the characteristics such as mature height and width of the tree you are going to plant. Make sure the mature plant will fit into the space. • Call before digging - Call the Utility Notification Center of Colorado at 800-922-1987. • Look up – Avoid planting trees that will grow into power lines, other wires, or buildings. • Do a soil test - Soils in Western Colorado are challenging and difficult for some plants to grow in. Make sure you select a plant that will thrive in your planting site.

  • Mirabilis Nyctaginea (Michx.) Macmill
    A WEED REPORT from the book Weed Control in Natural Areas in the Western United States This WEED REPORT does not constitute a formal recommendation. When using herbicides always read the label, and when in doubt consult your farm advisor or county agent. This WEED REPORT is an excerpt from the book Weed Control in Natural Areas in the Western United States and is available wholesale through the UC Weed Research & Information Center (wric.ucdavis.edu) or retail through the Western Society of Weed Science (wsweedscience.org) or the California Invasive Species Council (cal-ipc.org). Mirabilis nyctaginea (Michx.) MacMill. Wild four-o’clock Family: Nyctaginaceae Range: All western states except Arizona and Oregon. Habitat: Found in a wide range of habitats, including perennial crops such as orchards and alfalfa fields, waste areas and along roadsides, railroad lines, woodlands, pastures, riparian areas, and dry meadows and rangelands. It is often found on sandy or rocky soil, but can also grow on clay soils or along waterways. It rarely establishes in annually cultivated ground. Origin: Native east of the Rocky Mountains, from Montana to Mexico, and east to Wisconsin and Alabama. Impacts: Wild four-o’clock can spread from small infestations to hundreds of acres very quickly. It colonizes both perennial agriculture and rangelands. It can outcompete pasture and grassland plants. It can compete in the same habitat as Macfarlane’s four-o’clock (Mirabilis macfarlanei), a rare species that is considered threatened in Idaho and endangered in Oregon. Western states listed as Noxious Weed: Washington Wild four-o’clock is a taprooted perennial to 4 ft tall.
