Santa Fe Master Gardener Newsletter March 2017 Vol. 7 No. 3 Santa Fe Master Gardener Newsletter The Fragrant Garden By Chris Durlak “It is a golden maxim to cultivate the garden for the nose, and the eyes will take care of themselves.” Robert Louis Stevenson When thinking of plants, and especially fowering ones to plant for the garden, what better choices than those that provide scents that are pleasing not only to our noses, but also to those of other creatures who may “smell” them, such as pollinators? The plants described here, native to our region, are some of those that most certainly will enhance the “fragrant garden.” Chocolate Flower (Berlandiera lyrata)—a member of the Aster family. This perennial is long-lived and its aroma of chocolate is not to be missed. It has clumps of lem- on-yellow fowers with brown centers, blooms in spring and summer, and requires little water. Mojave Sage (Salvia poachyphylla)— actually a member of the mint family, this plant’s blooms are larger than most other sages, and its lovely bluish-purple fowers last all summer long. A California native, it thrives in the Southwest and requires little wa- ter. Touching the silver-gray foliage elicits the pleasant sage aroma; burning sage was used in Native American ceremonies to cleanse or purify. Pollinators such as bees, butterfies and hummingbirds are also attracted to this showy plant’s blooms. Purple Hyssop (Agastache Purple Haze)—a hybrid Hyssop, also known as Hummingbird Mint. Tall purple and blue fower spikes adorn this sun-loving plant that has aromatic foliage and fowers that attract bees and butterfies. Fairly drought-resistant, its blooms are attractive in fower arrangements. cont. on page 2 COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE • Santa Fe County Extension Offce College of Agricultural, Consumer & Environmental Sciences 3229 Rodeo Road • Santa Fe, NM 87507 • Phone: 505.471.4711 • Fax: 505.471.6076 • www.sfmga.org The Fragant Garden—cont. from page 1 In This Issue The Fragant Garden 1 Western Wallfower (Erysimum asperum)— Message from the Board 3 grows in low elevation scrub- lands, mountain brush, and Pruning Trees and Shrubs 4 pinyon-juniper communities in a variety of soils.

The demonstration gardens on campus will be staffed and volunteer opportunities will be offered on Sign Up Genius (SUG). Here are some highlights from the March calendar: 3rd Annual Project Expo & Ice Cream Social: On March 18, we will have our 3rd Annual Project Expo & Ice Cream Social from 1 - 3 pm. Keep an eye out for an eBlast announcing location details. This gives all of us a chance to explore the projects’ goals, activities, and Continuing Education events this year. There will also be a seed exchange: bring some, take some. Just make sure that what you bring is carefully labeled. This will also be an opportunity for veteran Master Gardeners to ask ques- tions about Sign Up Genius (SUG) and Track It Forward (TIF) — folks will be on hand to help you out. This event is limited to Master Gardeners and interns only. Project sign ups go “live” on Sign Up Genius (SUG) the evening of March 18th at 6 pm. (Master Gardeners and interns only.) Gardening 101: This year, we are once again offering our Vegetable Gardening 101 series. These classes are specifcally for the public, not Master Gardeners or interns. Encourage friends and family to come learn the basics about vegetable gardening in our challenging Santa Fe environment. This introductory course was developed by Master Gardener Jannine Cabossel, the “Tomato Lady” from the Farmers Market, and will be assisted by Master Gardeners. Classes are March 12 and March 19, $25 for both Sundays; registration is at www.sfmga.org. Compost clinic: March 12 from 11-1 focused on harvesting and uses of compost. We’ll meet at the County Fairgrounds composting area. Open to all. Extension Offce Hot Line Assistant training will be March 17 from 10 am to noon in the classroom (large annex) at the county fairgrounds. For Master Gardeners and interns only. Let’s Grow: Our Let’s Grow series this year will again feature Continuing Education events at each of our projects. The clinics are open to the public as well as Master Gardeners and interns. This year we kicked off the series with a Soils Testing Workshop at the New Mexico Wildlife Center on February 25. This will be followed by workshops on Rose Pruning, Building a Native Bee House, Cactus Prop- agation, Basic Composting, Selecting Native Plants for Your Landscape, Historic Garden Restoration, Planning a Fall Vegetable Garden, and Herb Harvesting. Be sure to check our website (sfmga.org) for dates and times SANTA FE MASTER GARDENER NEWSLETTER 3 Pruning Trees and Shrubs By Marta Gyeviki Gardeners know that pruning is both a skill and an art. The skill: knowing when and how to make cuts. The art: making proper cuts. All trees and shrubs respond differently to cutting. Note, too, that with adequate water and nutrients, plants do not need continual pruning (excep- tions could be fruit trees and hedges). A plant that requires such treatment may be the wrong choice for its location. Reasons to Prune • To maintain plant health by removing dead, injured, crossing, competing or diseased branch- es. • To open the canopy to better light and air penetration. • To control or direct growth. • To increase fowering buds, fruit quality. • To reinvigorate and rejuvenate old trees. General Rules • Understand how growth occurs, including the different types of buds. Terminal buds at the end of a branch grow lengthwise. Lateral buds grow sideways. Under-bark dormant buds become active when the branch above is removed. cont. on page 5 SANTA FE MASTER GARDENER NEWSLETTER 4 Pruning Trees and Shrubs—cont. from page 4 • Note a tree’s natural shape and maintain it. • Wide-angled branch crotches are stronger. • Only cut when you have a reason. • Prune close to the trunk, a bud or branch. • Don’t top an established plant to reduce size. • Keep your pruning tools sharp and clean. Wipe the tools with 90% alcohol or 5% bleach and water. • Discard pruned materials. Types of Pruning • Thinning serves to open the canopy for sunlight, and sometimes to reduce plant size by re- moving or shortening a lateral branch. • Heading back is cutting branches back to a stub. A plant’s natural form will be ruined. Topping a tree leaves large wounds allowing entrance for insects and diseases and results in a mass of vigorous growth the following year. These branches are often weak and roots may be com- promised. Use this type of pruning only for fruit tree training, rose pruning or hedge shearing. • Pinching a terminal bud directs plant growth by generating new side branches instead of a central, lengthy branch. With pinching, you can make plants bushier. • Shearing, usually applied to hedges, maintains an even and dense foliage surface, Time of Pruning • Dormant season pruning (late fall to early spring) stimulates healthy spring growth. Cuts typ- ically heal faster during dormancy and disease-carrying insects are not as prevalent. It also makes shaping trees and shrubs easier—branching patterns are most visible at a leafess stage. Early winter pruning can interrupt dormancy prompting some species to break bud too soon. Heavy pruning after growth starts in spring can weaken a tree by forcing it to use stored food for re-growth instead of new growth. • Summer pruning, usually in July or early August can correct problems such as broken or damaged branches. It is also a good time to use pinching and discourage long, weak growth. Summer pruning reduces growth due to loss of leaf surface. It can control growth vigor and delay fruiting. If you merely want trim out dead, weak or diseased parts of the tree, you can prune at any time of the year without drastic effects on the tree.

    Utah Lepidopterist Bulletin of the Utah Lepidopterists' Society Volume 7 - Number 1 February 1997 UTAH LEPIDOPTERISTS' SOCIETY HOSTS 43rd MEETING OF THE LEPIDOPTERISTS' SOCIETY PACIFIC SLOPE SECTION Initiated by President John Richards during the January, 1995 U.L.S. Meeting and then orchestrated by member Joel Johnson, the Utah Lepidopterists' Society hosted the 43rd Annual Meeting of the Pacific Slope Section of The Lepidopterists' Society. The successful gathering was held between 19 and 21 July, 1996 at the Great Basin Environmental Education Center in Ephraim Canyon, Sanpete County, Utah. Nestled at an elevation of 8600' in the Manti-La Sal National Forest, the Great Basin Environmental Education Center was originally built as a Forest Service Experimental Station. Today, it is managed by Snow College, which currently oversees the many workshops and seminars held there during the summer months. The forested scenery of the camp for the three-day meeting was breathtaking. Those who attended the meeting had plenty of opportunities to collect both at GBEEC as well as along Skyline Drive-- the popular north-south road traversing the Wasatch Plateau. Some of the species of lepidoptera encountered in the area were C. cephalica, C. barnesi, G. williamsi, G. vermiculata, L. weidemeyeri, S. atlantis, E. anicia, N. menapia, as well as others. Although the preparation for the meeting was handled by Joel, a number of other U.L.S. members participated as well. Tom Spalding and John Richards headed up the welcoming committee and handled registration for the meeting at Snow College on Friday afternoon. Friday night activities included a Turkey barbeque and a "bring-your-own" slide presentation.

Monson ABSTRACT Quantifying the biosynthesis and emission of terpenes by plants is necessary to understand ecological interactions and improve global atmospheric models. Many studies have addressed the importance of individual factors influencing terpene production and release into the atmosphere, but few have investigated complex interactions between multiple variables and the resulting chemistry’s effects on interactions between organisms across multiple trophic levels. To address this gap in our knowledge, I conducted a series of experiments to examine abiotic and biotic controls over terpene synthesis and emission in Poplar x canescens and Pinus edulis, in which terpenes play prominent roles in plant physiological protection (isoprene) and defense (monoterpenes).

  • Species Richness and Variety of Life in Arizona's Ponderosa Pine Forest Type
    United States Department of Agriculture Species Richness and Variety of Life in Arizona’s Ponderosa Pine Forest Type David R. Patton, Richard W. Hofstetter, John D. Bailey and Mary Ann Benoit Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-332 December 2014 Patton, David R.; Hofstetter, Richard W.; Bailey, John D.; Benoit, Mary Ann. 2014. Species richness and variety of life in Arizona’s ponderosa pine forest type. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-332. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 44 p. Abstract Species richness (SR) is a tool that managers can use to include diversity in planning and decision-making and is a convenient and useful way to characterize the first level of biological diversity. A richness list derived from existing inventories enhances a manager’s understanding of the complexity of the plant and animal communities they manage. Without a list of species, resource management decisions may have negative or unknown effects on all species occupying a forest type. Without abundance data, a common quantitative index for species diversity cannot be determined. However, SR data can include life his- tory information from published literature to enhance the SR value. This report provides an example of how inventory information can characterize the complexity of biological diversity in the ponderosa pine forest type in Arizona. The SR process broadly categorizes the number of plant and animal life forms to arrive at a composite species richness value. Common sense dictates that plants and animals exist in a biotic community because that community has sufficient resources to sustain life.
