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. -

Volume 6 (Relatives of Temperate Fruits) of the book series, "Wild Crop Relatives: Genetic, Genomic and Breeding Resources ed C. Kole 2011 p179-197 9 Rubus J. Graham* and M. Woodhead Scottish Crop Research Institute, Dundee, DD2 5DA, UK *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The Rosaceae family consists of around 3, 000 species of which 500 belong to the genus Rubus. Ploidy levels range from diploid to dodecaploid with a genomic number of 7, and members can be difficult to classify into distinct species due to hybridization and apomixes. Species are distributed widely across Asia, Europe, North and South America with the center of diversity now considered to be in China, where there are 250-700 species of Rubus depending on the taxonomists. Rubus species are an important horticultural source of income and labor being produced for the fresh and processing markets for their health benefits. Blackberries and raspberries have a relatively short history of less than a century as cultivated crops that have been enhanced through plant breeding and they are only a few generations removed from their wild progenitor species. Rubus sp. are typically found as early colonizers of disturbed sites such as pastures, along forest edges, in forest clearings and along roadsides. Blackberries are typically much more tolerant of drought, flooding and high temperatures, while red raspberries are more tolerant of cold winters. Additionally, they exhibit vigorous vegetative reproduction by either tip layering or root suckering, permitting Rubus genotypes to cover large areas. The attractiveness of the fruits to frugivores, especially birds, means that seed dispersal can be widespread with the result that Rubus genotypes can very easily be spread to new sites and are very effective, high-speed invaders. -

NATIVE PLANT FIELD GUIDE Revised March 2012
NATIVE PLANT FIELD GUIDE Revised March 2012 Hansen's Northwest Native Plant Database www.nwplants.com Foreword Once upon a time, there was a very kind older gentleman who loved native plants. He lived in the Pacific northwest, so plants from this area were his focus. As a young lad, his grandfather showed him flowers and bushes and trees, the sweet taste of huckleberries and strawberries, the smell of Giant Sequoias, Incense Cedars, Junipers, pines and fir trees. He saw hummingbirds poking Honeysuckles and Columbines. He wandered the woods and discovered trillium. When he grew up, he still loved native plants--they were his passion. He built a garden of natives and then built a nursery so he could grow lots of plants and teach gardeners about them. He knew that alien plants and hybrids did not usually live peacefully with natives. In fact, most of them are fierce enemies, not well behaved, indeed, they crowd out and overtake natives. He wanted to share his information so he built a website. It had a front page, a page of plants on sale, and a page on how to plant natives. But he wanted more, lots more. So he asked for help. I volunteered and he began describing what he wanted his website to do, what it should look like, what it should say. He shared with me his dream of making his website so full of information, so inspiring, so educational that it would be the most important source of native plant lore on the internet, serving the entire world. -

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. -
