  • Technical Note 30: Ability of Pacific Northwest Shrubs to Root From
    TECHNICAL NOTES _____________________________________________________________________________________________ U.S. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE PORTLAND, OREGON DATE: September 2002 PLANT MATERIALS TECHNICAL NOTE NO. 30 Ability of Pacific Northwest Native Shrubs to Root from Hardwood Cuttings (with Summary of Propagation Methods for 22 Species) Dale C. Darris Conservation Agronomist Corvallis Plant Materials Center SUMMARY There is a need for additional information on how well native shrubs root from hardwood cuttings. First, nurseries are seeking to refine vegetative propagation techniques. Second, practitioners in the fields of riparian/wetland restoration and streambank stabilization are looking for species that are easy to root from unrooted dormant material that will provide cost competitive alternatives to native willows (Salix spp.) and redosier dogwood (Cornus sericea) for direct sticking of cuttings and soil bioengineering practices. The purpose of this work was to screen 15 shrubs indigenous to the Pacific Northwest USA for their ability to root from hardwood cuttings with and without a rooting compound in a greenhouse mist bench, well drained field, nursery bed, and saturated substrate (artificial pond). If a species roots easily, it has greater potential for planting as dormant cuttings, live stakes, or whips directly on a revegetation site, and may warrant further evaluation for fascines, brush mattresses, or other soil bioengineering practices. Based on the rooting ability of hardwood cuttings made from 1 (or 2) year old wood, those species with good potential include black twinberry (Lonicera involucrata), salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), common snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus), and Pacific ninebark (Physocarpus capitatus). Coyote brush (Baccharis pilularis) and red elderberry (Sambucus racemosa) have fair potential. Indian plum (Oemlaria cerasiformis), mock orange (Philadelphus lewisii), and red flowering currant (Ribes sanguineum) may apply under limited circumstances, select uses, or ideal conditions.

  • Native Or Suitable Plants City of Mccall
    Native or Suitable Plants City of McCall The following list of plants is presented to assist the developer, business owner, or homeowner in selecting plants for landscaping. The list is by no means complete, but is a recommended selection of plants which are either native or have been successfully introduced to our area. Successful landscaping, however, requires much more than just the selection of plants. Unless you have some experience, it is suggested than you employ the services of a trained or otherwise experienced landscaper, arborist, or forester. For best results it is recommended that careful consideration be made in purchasing the plants from the local nurseries (i.e. Cascade, McCall, and New Meadows). Plants brought in from the Treasure Valley may not survive our local weather conditions, microsites, and higher elevations. Timing can also be a serious consideration as the plants may have already broken dormancy and can be damaged by our late frosts. Appendix B SELECTED IDAHO NATIVE PLANTS SUITABLE FOR VALLEY COUNTY GROWING CONDITIONS Trees & Shrubs Acer circinatum (Vine Maple). Shrub or small tree 15-20' tall, Pacific Northwest native. Bright scarlet-orange fall foliage. Excellent ornamental. Alnus incana (Mountain Alder). A large shrub, useful for mid to high elevation riparian plantings. Good plant for stream bank shelter and stabilization. Nitrogen fixing root system. Alnus sinuata (Sitka Alder). A shrub, 6-1 5' tall. Grows well on moist slopes or stream banks. Excellent shrub for erosion control and riparian restoration. Nitrogen fixing root system. Amelanchier alnifolia (Serviceberry). One of the earlier shrubs to blossom out in the spring.

  • Native Plants
    Spring 2018 This issue of Shore Stewards News focuses on the many benefits of native plants. The newsletter content is from garden writer and retired WSU Extension Educator Peg Tillery, and provided by Renee Johnson. Renee is the Shore Stewards Coordinator for Kitsap County. Island County content is provided by Ann Precup and Scott Chase. Native Plants at Work in Your Landscape Native plants are ideal for home gardens: at the same time they provide diversity to a landscape, they can also create a habitat for wildlife. Native plants are mostly disease and pest free and usually survive very happily in our relatively wet winters and springs with drought-like summer months from mid-July through mid-October most years. Native plants rarely, if ever, need fertilizer. In our region where fungi and molds happen naturally, native plants can have diseases and conditions, but they usually don’t succumb to these problems. The various fungi and phytophthoras that attack our madrones are an example. Newly planted natives also need regular watering their first two to three years until they’re established in a landscape.

  • Plants for Pollinators in Oregon
    TECHNICAL NOTES U. S. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE Portland, Oregon March 2008 PLANT MATERIALS No. 13 PLANTS FOR POLLINATORS IN OREGON Kathy Pendergrass, Plant Materials Specialist, NRCS, Portland, Oregon Mace Vaughan, Conservation Director, Xerces Society, Portland, Oregon Joe Williams, Manager, NRCS, Plant Materials Center, Corvallis, Oregon Left – honey bee on camas flower (Pendergrass) Right – bumble bee on rabbit brush (Vaughan) The purpose of this technical note is to provide information about establishing, maintaining and enhancing habitat and food resources for native pollinators, particularly for native bees, in Riparian buffers, Windbreaks, Hedgerows, Alley cropping, Field borders, Filter strips, Waterways, Range plantings and other NRCS practices. We welcome your comments for improving any of the content of this publication for future editions. Please contact us! PLANTS FOR POLLINATORS IN OREGON Native pollinators are a vital part of our environment. Pollinators are essential for the reproduction of native plants, as well as many crops. Pollinators include some bird and bat species and a wide array of insect species, but bees are the most important for our agricultural landscapes. Native bees are becoming more important pollinators for crop plants in light of recent challenges to honey bee keepers across the U.S., namely Colony Collapse Disorder and the variety of other ailments honey bees face. As a group, pollinators are threatened world-wide by habitat loss and fragmentation, pesticides, introduced diseases and parasites. Habitat enhancement for pollinators can also support other beneficial insects. For example, maintaining native sources of nectar and pollen, as well as protecting or establishing nest sites, provides important resources for other insects which might parasitize or predate upon harmful crop pests.
