The national park was F E R N S established in 1968. In 1994, a cooperative agreement with the California Department of Parks and Recreation added Del Norte Coast, Prairie Creek, Athyriaceae – Lady Fern Family and Jedediah Smith Redwoods state parks to form a single administrative Athyrium filix-femina var. cyclosporum • northwestern lady fern unit. Together they comprise about 133,000 acres (540 km2), including 37 miles of coast line.

Does Watering with Willow Water Stimulate Faster Root Growth? Michelle Terrazino
Does watering with willow water stimulate faster root growth? Michelle Terrazino Citrus College 100 W Foothill Blvd Glendora, California Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Gardens 1500 N College Ave Claremont, California Keckielia antihirrhinoides Keckielia antihirrhinoides Abstract Many nursery grown container plants are produced by taking cuttings of stems material and rooting them. In order to optimize this process, a number of treatments are often applied to unrooted cuttings. Studies have shown that watering cuttings with a solution made from branches of Willow trees (Salix sp.) can increase the percentage of cuttings that develop roots. (Karmini and Mansouri 2012). In order to test this, I watered two flats each of five species, one with tap water and the other with a willow water solution. In order to approximate typical nursery practices, each cutting was initially treated with Dip N’ Gro Liquid Rooting Concentrate, a chemical rooting hormone. Throughout the experiment I monitored the development of roots to see if willow water solution improves rooting in a typical nursery setting. Two species; Myrica californica and Keckielia antihirrhinoides, showed positive results for root growth when • Keckiella antihirrhinoides root growth after 5 weeks. • Number of roots per plant on Keckielia watered with willow water while the rest of the plants required longer time to root. antihirrhinoides after 5 weeks. Myrica caifornica Myrica californica Background Willow (Salix sp.) contains both Salicylic acid and Indolebutyric acid (IBA). Salicylic acid is a natural compound that is involved in fruit maturity and senescence, and IBA is a naturally occurring plant hormone that is used in many commercial plant rooting products such as fertilome Root Stimulator and Plant Starter Solution 4-10-3, Dip N’Gro Liquid Rooting Concentrate, Greenlight Concentrate Root Stimulator and Starter Solution.
