  • 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.

  • Plants for Pollinators Calendar & Practices to Support Pollinators
    PLANTS FOR POLLINATORS CALENDAR & PRACTICES TO SUPPORT POLLINATORS Jacqueline Cramer, Design Collaborators and Kimberly Leeper, Mariposa Naturescapes GREEN GARDENING WORKSHOP – Oct. 22, 2014 Increase Foraging Habitat – Succession of Flowers through Entire Growing Season – Plant in Clumps/Natural Drifts of Same Species and in Plant Corridors (Hedgerows) Choose nectar and pollen‐rich plants like native wildflowers and old‐fashioned (non‐native) varieties of perennial flowers that are NOT invasive. A corridor of pollinator gardens in neighborhoods, cities, and rural areas around the country could provide enough habitat to restore healthy communities of beneficial insects and pollinators. PLANTS FOR POLLINATORS CALENDAR Be aware that this plant list is a sampling of possible native and non‐native plants available for pollinators. Criteria for selection on this list: well‐behaved; less “messy” than some; easy to find; drought‐tolerant (“right plant, right plant”); multi‐functional (two functions+); and focus on being good for variety of bees. *Bloom times are approximate and will depend upon the weather that season as well as microclimates/site conditions; Observe bloom times of different species you’ve planted and tweak it so you have multiple species blooming over the growing season (Feb. – Oct.). You can find non‐native “versions” of some native plants listed.

Mason-Gamer Abstract.—The Lonicera clade Caprifolium contains 25 species distributed around the Northern Hemisphere, including in the Mediterranean climates of California and Europe.∼ We sequenced the second intron of LFY to help resolve relationships within the clade where the internal transcribed spacer and chloroplast markers had previously failed to do so. Divergence Downloaded from time estimation and biogeographic analyses over the posterior distribution of dated trees suggest that a widespread an- cestor was distributed across the Northern Hemisphere some 7–17 million years ago. Asian species form a sister group to a clade in which the European species are sister to the North American species. We use climatic niche modeling and divergence time estimates to explore the evolution of climate variables in the group.
