Wild. Local. Beautiful. Center for Native Plants Most Deer Resistant Species Keep in mind that the only deer-proof plant is one enclosed by a fence. The list of plants below are known to be deer resistant, but deer will eat any plant when hungry enough, say in the spring or during a drought, and fawn will sample anything as they learn what’s good to eat.

CDFG Natural Communities List
Department of Fish and Game Biogeographic Data Branch The Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program List of California Terrestrial Natural Communities Recognized by The California Natural Diversity Database September 2003 Edition Introduction: This document supersedes all other lists of terrestrial natural communities developed by the Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB). It is based on the classification put forth in “A Manual of California Vegetation” (Sawyer and Keeler-Wolf 1995 and upcoming new edition). However, it is structured to be compatible with previous CNDDB lists (e.g., Holland 1986). For those familiar with the Holland numerical coding system you will see a general similarity in the upper levels of the hierarchy. You will also see a greater detail at the lower levels of the hierarchy. The numbering system has been modified to incorporate this richer detail. Decimal points have been added to separate major groupings and two additional digits have been added to encompass the finest hierarchal detail. One of the objectives of the Manual of California Vegetation (MCV) was to apply a uniform hierarchical structure to the State’s vegetation types. Quantifiable classification rules were established to define the major floristic groups, called alliances and associations in the National Vegetation Classification (Grossman et al. 1998). In this document, the alliance level is denoted in the center triplet of the coding system and the associations in the right hand pair of numbers to the left of the final decimal. The numbers of the alliance in the center triplet attempt to denote relationships in floristic similarity. For example, the Chamise-Eastwood Manzanita alliance (37.106.00) is more closely related to the Chamise- Cupleaf Ceanothus alliance (37.105.00) than it is to the Chaparral Whitethorn alliance (37.205.00).

Successfully Storing Milkweed Taproots for Habitat Restoration
Asclepias speciosa, or showy milkweed, is the most common milkweed species in the Great Plains and western US. Photo by Tom Koerner, US F&WS 48 NATIVEPLANTS | 20 | 1 | SPRING 2019 REFEREED RESEARCH Successfully storing milkweed taproots for habitat restoration Melissa L Topping, R Kasten Dumroese, and Jeremiah R Pinto ABSTRACT During a 3-y seed increase project, taproot size (volume and biomass) of showy milkweed (Asclepias speciosa Torr. [Asclepiadaceae]) increased annually, although top diameter of the taproot remained constant after the first growing season. At the end of the third year, taproots were harvested, held under different cold storage treatments, and subsequently outplanted. We observed that taproots can readily be stored in cardboard boxes placed in either cooler (0.5 to 2 °C [33–36 °F]) or freezer (–5 to –2 °C [23–28 °F]) conditions, and that success increases with the addition of protection from the cold in the form of plastic bag liners and (or) peat moss; survival was as high as 90%. These findings are promising because milkweeds are essential to the life cycle of the monarch butterfly Danaus( plexip pus L. [Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae]), which has experienced large population declines dur- ing the past 20 y due primarily to habitat loss and fragmentation. Restoring milkweed to the environment is an important first step to help bolster populations. Seed increase is often used to produce seeds for specific restoration projects, but the taproots are often discarded once sufficient seeds have been attained. Harvesting the taproots is an effective way to efficiently use all parts of the increase bed.
