Enhance Your Backyard Habitat with California Natives Enhance your backyard habitat with California natives Why use California natives in your garden? • PERFECTLY SUITED to our California climate (In other words, growing here, before us, and with or without us) • Many low water, low maintenance choices. A native for every garden • Something always interesting going on in the garden, from January to December • But most importantly… If you build it…they really will come! Why does it matter? Simple Food Web *RSPB.ORG According to Dr. Doug Tallamy: • 90% of the insects that eat plants can only eat the plants with which they co- evolved • 432 species of North American birds are at risk of extinction • 3 billion fewer breeding birds compared to 45 years ago • 5% of our native plants (the ‘Keystone plants’) provide 75% of the food that drives food webs Some of California’s Keystone Plants: • Oaks: 39 varieties supporting 270 types of caterpillars • Prunus: 15 varieties supporting 246 types of caterpillars • Acers: 8 varieties supporting 85 types of caterpillars • Ceanothus: 100 varieties supporting 79 types of caterpillars • Arctostaphylos: 193 varieties supporting 41 types of caterpillars *Dr. Doug Tallamy Planning for your own garden • https://www.bringingbackthenatives.net/douglas- tallamy-resources • Calscape.com • https://www.bringingbackthenatives.net/wp- content/uploads/2020/04/Best-Plants-for-Bay- Area-Gardens-Marshall.pdf What’s practical for most gardens: Trees & Shrubs that take on a tree-like form: • Oak (Quercus sp.) • Catalina Cherry (Prunus ilicifolia ssp. lyonii) • Madrone (Arbutus menziesii) • Western Sycamore (Platanus racemosa) • California Buckeye (Aesculus californica) • Western Redbud (Cercis occidentalis) • Desert Willow (Chilopsis linearis) What’s practical for most gardens: Shrubs • Currant (Ribes sp.) • Lupine (Lupinus sp.) • California Lilac (Ceanothus sp.) • Coyote Bush (Baccharis sp.) • Rose (Rosa californica) • Sagebrush (Artemisa sp.) • Buckwheat (Eriogonum sp.) • Bush Anemone (Carpenteria • Toyon (Heteromoles arbutifolia) californica) • Coffeeberry (Frangula • Lemonade Berry (Rhus californica) integrifolia) • Serviceberry (Amelanchier sp.) • Sugar Bush (Rhus ovata) • Manzanita (Arctostaphylos sp.) • Elderberry (Sambcus sp.) • Sage (Salvia sp.) • Oceanspray (Holodiscus discolor) • Mountain Mahogany (Cercocarpus betuloides) • Snowberry (Symphoricarpus) What’s practical for most gardens: Perennials & Grasses • California Fuchsia (Epilobium • Blue Flax (Linum lewisii) sp.) • Monkeyflower (Mimulus) • Sage (Salvia sp.) • Wooly Sunflower (Eriophyllum • Penstemon (Penstemon sp.) sp.) • Buckwheat (Eriogonum sp.) • California Bee Plant (Scorphularia sp.) • Yarrow (Achillea sp.) • Globe Mallow (Sphaeralcea sp.) • Goldenrod (Solidago sp.) • Narrowleaf Milkweed (Asclepias • Seaside Daisy (Erigeron fascicularis) glaucus) • Coyote Mint (Monardella villosa) • Pearly Everlasting (Anaphalis margaritacea) • California Aster (Symphyotrichum chilense) • Checkerbloom (Sidalcea malviflora) • California Fescue (Festuca californica) • Gumweed (Grindelia stricta) • Idaho Fescue (Festuca • Beach Strawberry (Frageria idahoensis) chiloensis) What’s practical for most gardens: Vines • Wild Grape (Vitis californica) • California Honeysuckle (Lonicera sp.) • Chapparel Clematis (Clematis lasiantha) • Virgin’s Bower (Clematis ligusticifolia) My tips for designing a garden with California native plants Have a plan… before you buy the plants ☺ Plan for your customers Don’t forget to consider the garden from a human perspective Select the right plants, for the right place, in the right volume Calscape.org has a long list of nurseries selling native plants, but in the Bay Area, these are usually good bets: • Annie’s Annuals • Oaktown Native Plant Nursery • Native Here • Ruth Bancroft • The Watershed Nursery • East Bay Wilds • Friends of Sausal Creek Native Plant Nursery • UC Berkeley Native Plant Nursery • Cactus Jungle • Bay Natives • Las Pilitas (mail order) Aim to create a garden with good bones, four season interest, and harmony A quick look at the calendar when it comes to native blooms • December & January: Manzanita • February: Currants, Blue Eyed Grass • March: California Lilacs, Western Redbud • April-June: Wildflowers, and tons of perennials such as Penstemon, Sage, Lilac Verbena and the list goes on • July-November: Some of our early summer bloomers continue, but now the California Fuchsias, Buckwheats, and Milkweeds kick in too • Not to mention the year round interest from our native ornamental grasses and evergreen shrubs like Deer Grass, California Fescue, Coffeeberry, and Quail Bush When in doubt, take your cues from mother nature, the best designer of all Thank You!.

  • Malosma Laurina (Nutt.) Nutt. Ex Abrams
    I. SPECIES Malosma laurina (Nutt.) Nutt. ex Abrams NRCS CODE: Family: Anacardiaceae MALA6 Subfamily: Anacardiodeae Order: Sapindales Subclass: Rosidae Class: Magnoliopsida Immature fruits are green to red in mid-summer. Plants tend to flower in May to June. A. Subspecific taxa none B. Synonyms Rhus laurina Nutt. (USDA PLANTS 2017) C. Common name laurel sumac (McMinn 1939, Calflora 2016) There is only one species of Malosma. Phylogenetic analyses based on molecular data and a combination of D. Taxonomic relationships molecular and structural data place Malosma as distinct but related to both Toxicodendron and Rhus (Miller et al. 2001, Yi et al. 2004, Andrés-Hernández et al. 2014). E. Related taxa in region Rhus ovata and Rhus integrifolia may be the closest relatives and laurel sumac co-occurs with both species. Very early, Malosma was separated out of the genus Rhus in part because it has smaller fruits and lacks the following traits possessed by all species of Rhus : red-glandular hairs on the fruits and axis of the inflorescence, hairs on sepal margins, and glands on the leaf blades (Barkley 1937, Andrés-Hernández et al. 2014). F. Taxonomic issues none G. Other The name Malosma refers to the strong odor of the plant (Miller & Wilken 2017). The odor of the crushed leaves has been described as apple-like, but some think the smell is more like bitter almonds (Allen & Roberts 2013). The leaves are similar to those of the laurel tree and many others in family Lauraceae, hence the specific epithet "laurina." Montgomery & Cheo (1971) found time to ignition for dried leaf blades of laurel sumac to be intermediate and similar to scrub oak, Prunus ilicifolia, and Rhamnus crocea; faster than Heteromeles arbutifolia, Arctostaphylos densiflora, and Rhus ovata; and slower than Salvia mellifera.

Hoppa1 ABSTRACT.—On the northern Channel Islands, the occupation of interior sites during the Middle Holocene (6650–3350 cal BP) has been attributed, in part, to terrestrial resource exploitation. The presence of groundstone artifacts, particu- larly mortars and pestles, in Middle Holocene sites and burials supports the idea that plants were important during this time period. The current study presents macrobotanical data from 4 Middle Holocene sites on Santa Cruz Island. Of the 4 sites, 3 are located within the Central Valley, the island’s most productive watershed; whereas the fourth site is located on a coastal bluff on the eastern end of the island.

  • THE FLORISTICS of the CALIFORNIA ISLANDS Peter H
    THE FLORISTICS OF THE CALIFORNIA ISLANDS Peter H. Raven Stanford University The Southern California Islands, with their many endemic spe­ cies of plants and animals, have long attracted the attention of biologists. This archipelago consists of two groups of islands: the Northern Channel Islands and the Southern Channel Islands. The first group is composed of San Miguel, Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz, and Anacapa islands; the greatest water gap between these four is about 6 miles, and the distance of the nearest, Anacapa, from the mainland only about 13 miles. In the southern group there are also four islands: San Clemente, Santa Catalina, Santa Bar­ bara, and San Nicolas. These are much more widely scattered than the islands of the northern group; the shortest distance be­ tween them is the 21 miles separating the islands of San Clemente and Santa Catalina, and the nearest island to the mainland is Santa Catalina, some 20 miles off shore. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the complex floristics of the vascular plants found on this group of islands, and this will be done from three points of view. First will be considered the numbers of species of vascular plants found on each island, then the endemics of these islands, and finally the relationship between the island and mainland localities for these plants. By critically evaluating the accounts of Southern California island plants found in the published works of Eastwood (1941), Mill¬ spaugh and Nuttall (1923), Munz (1959), and Raven (1963), one can derive a reasonably accurate account of the plants of the area.

  • Arboretum Plants 2017
    Arboretum Plants Flowering Maple (Abultilon) Abutilon is a genus that includes 150 species. Some common names include Chinese Bell Flower, Chinese Lantern, Indian Mallow, and Flowering Maple. It is not related to maple, but is called Flowering Maple because its leaves are shaped like a maple’s. The flowers hang down and are bell shaped. They can be white, yellow, pink, red, or orange and they can bloom continuously if the weather is warm enough. Shoestring Acacia (Acacia stenophylla) The Shoestring Acacia gets its name from its long, thin leaves, which resemble shoestrings. It has yellow flowers that bloom throughout the spring. Native to Australia, the Shoestring Acacia does well in desert environments. It tolerates saline and alkaline soils very well and can survive flooding. In Australia, the Shoestring Acacia is sometimes used for lumber and as a food source for some aboriginals. There are many common names for this tree in Australia, including Eumong, River Cooba, Belalie, and Gurley. Autumn Blaze (Acer freemanii) Also known as Freeman Maple, Autumn Blaze is the Jeffersred cultivar of a hybrid between Red Maple (Acer rubrum) and Silver Maple (Acer saccharinum). It has the best characteristics of each of its parent species. It has the Red Maple’s balanced, wide branches, and bright fall coloring and the Silver Maple’s drought and poor soil tolerance. The Autumn Blaze can reach a height of 50-60 feet and a branch span of 30-40 feet. In the fall its leaves turn bright red, orange, and yellow. The leaves also stay longer than the leaves of other types of Maple.

  • Woody Plants at Jasper Ridge, by Toni Corelli
    Woody Plants at Jasper Ridge, by Toni Corelli An overview of the Jasper Ridge (JR) vegetation communities map (2012) shows a majority of the landscape dominated by woody plant communities including chaparral (Birch leaf mountain mahogany, California sagebrush scrub, Chamise chaparral, Coyote brush scrub, Leather oak chaparral, Poison oak scrub), and woodland (Blue oak woodland, California bucheye groves, Coast live oak woodland, Douglas fir forest, redwood forest, Riparian scrub and forest, Shining willow groves, Valley oak). Our non-woodland communities take up less space on the vegetation map and include the California annual and perennial grassland, and Cattail marsh. The herbaceous plant life forms include annuals, biennials, and herbaceous perennials (non- woody). JR woody plant life forms can be grouped into trees, shrubs, subshrubs, woody vines: • trees have one erect trunk and have a height of 4 meters (~13 feet) or more • shrubs are multistemmed at the base and are mostly shorter than 4 meters • subshrubs are shrub-like, the lower stems are somewhat woody, the upper stems and twigs are less woody; the plant may die back seasonally (e.g. blue witch, golden-yarrow, sticky monkeyflower) • vines are trailing or climbing woody plants (e.g. Clematis spp. and hairy honeysuckle) The total number of vouchered plants classified as woody plants at JR is 126. This represents 16% of the 787 vouchered plants that are listed in the JR vascular plant list. However, the number of vouchered herbaceous plant species, 661, or 84% far outnumbers the woody plant species at JR. As shown in the table the percentages for the Santa Cruz Mts.

  • Early Period Resource Use on Eastern Santa Cruz Island
    EARLY PERIOD RESOURCE USE ON EASTERN SANTA CRUZ ISLAND JENNIFER E. PERRY Department of Anthropology, Pomona College, 420 North Harvard Avenue, Claremont, CA 91711 [email protected] ABSTRACT—Considerable archaeological research has been conducted on Santa Cruz Island, especially with respect to environmental, demographic, and technological transitions from the late Middle to Late Periods (1,500–200 BP). Much less is known about the Early Period (9,500–2,700 BP), with most interpretations based on data from individual sites rather than derived from a regional approach. From 2000–2002, archaeological surveys, site testing, and data analyses were conducted on eastern Santa Cruz Island, focusing on regional site distribution and manifestations of shifting resource priorities through prehistory. Of the 66 sites included in this study, 18 have components radiocarbon dated to the Early Period, of which 14 are dated between 5,000 and 2,700 cal BP, providing sufficient data with which to assess regional patterns in settlement and subsistence within this time frame. These data indicate that Early Period inhabitants were seasonal foragers moving between the coast and interior to rely on abundant, easy- to-procure resources, namely shellfish and plants. Along with the prevalence of California mussel (Mytilus californianus), the abundance of stone bowl mortars and related artifacts as well as the significant number of shell middens situated on coastal terraces and elevated landforms correlate well with Early Period subsistence patterns documented elsewhere. People appear to have moved seasonally based on the prioritization of terrestrial and marine variables, with fresh water, plants, chert, and viewshed being potentially attractive resources at higher elevations.
