  • CHRISTMAS TREES FACTSHEET November 2008 an INTRODUCTION Ref: 050403
    CALU CHRISTMAS TREES FACTSHEET November 2008 AN INTRODUCTION Ref: 050403: INTRODUCTION Growing Christmas trees is an option which more and more garden centres, nurseries and other businesses are considering. Over recent years production numbers have increased significantly: from 4.4m trees produced in the UK in 2001, to 6.5m in 2005. Nevertheless, approximately one million Christmas trees are imported from the continent, mainly Denmark, each year. There are good arguments for setting up a Christmas tree plantation, including the strength of the Euro. This is making imported trees look less attractive as they become relatively more expensive. Home grown Christmas trees also have an attractive marketing factor which can encourage customers to buy them. However, setting up and running a Christmas tree plantation is a time and labour intensive operation which requires skills as well as foresight: it will take around seven to 10 years before the first crop of Christmas trees will be ready for the market. SPECIES Many species are used as Christmas trees: some are more fashionable in some years than others. Historically, it was the Norway spruce that was the traditional Christmas tree. In recent years various types of fir tree have overtaken the spruce in terms of popularity. This is because they tend to hold their needles better and are less prickly. However, they are slower growing and therefore more expensive to produce. Table 1 provides an overview of the characteristics of the most commonly bought Christmas tree species in the UK: Table 1: Common Christmas tree species Common Botanical name Characteristics name Noble fir Abies procera Typical “Christmassy” scent, soft needles, approx.

  • Hybridization of the California Firs
    Forest Science, Vol. 34, No. I, pp. 139-151. Copyright 1988 by the Society of American Foresters Hybridization of the California Firs William B. Critchfield Abstract. Four groups of firs (sections, in the most recent classification of Abies) are represented in California. Crossing within these sections is possible and even easy, and in two of the sections intergrading populations between highly crossable taxa are wide spread in California. An exception is A. amabilis, a Northwestern fir that has not been crossed with other species in the same section {Grandes: A. concolor, A. grandis) or in other sections (e.g., Nobiles: A magnified). Crossing species in different sections is usually difficult or impossible. The genetic isolation of A. bracteata, an endemic species classified as a monotypic subgenus or section, may be nearly complete: two probable hybrids with A. concolor died at a few years of age. A few putative hybrids from inter- sectional crosses between species in Grandes and Nobiles died within months of germi nation. Intersectional crosses with firs outside California (two Mexican and four Eur asian species) all failed except A. concolor x A. religiosa, which produced numerous healthy hybrids. The common occurrence of genetic barriers in Abies is at odds with the long-held view that it is easy to hybridize fir species. For. Sci. 34(1): 139-151. Additional key words. Abies, interspecific hybrids, crossability, classification. The ability of species to hybridize has not been explored as systemati cally in the genus Abies (true firs) as it has in other genera of Pinaceae such as Pinus and Pice a.

  • Vegetation Descriptions NORTH COAST and MONTANE ECOLOGICAL PROVINCE
    Vegetation Descriptions NORTH COAST AND MONTANE ECOLOGICAL PROVINCE CALVEG ZONE 1 December 11, 2008 Note: There are three Sections in this zone: Northern California Coast (“Coast”), Northern California Coast Ranges (“Ranges”) and Klamath Mountains (“Mountains”), each with several to many subsections CONIFER FOREST / WOODLAND DF PACIFIC DOUGLAS-FIR ALLIANCE Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is the dominant overstory conifer over a large area in the Mountains, Coast, and Ranges Sections. This alliance has been mapped at various densities in most subsections of this zone at elevations usually below 5600 feet (1708 m). Sugar Pine (Pinus lambertiana) is a common conifer associate in some areas. Tanoak (Lithocarpus densiflorus var. densiflorus) is the most common hardwood associate on mesic sites towards the west. Along western edges of the Mountains Section, a scattered overstory of Douglas-fir often exists over a continuous Tanoak understory with occasional Madrones (Arbutus menziesii). When Douglas-fir develops a closed-crown overstory, Tanoak may occur in its shrub form (Lithocarpus densiflorus var. echinoides). Canyon Live Oak (Quercus chrysolepis) becomes an important hardwood associate on steeper or drier slopes and those underlain by shallow soils. Black Oak (Q. kelloggii) may often associate with this conifer but usually is not abundant. In addition, any of the following tree species may be sparsely present in Douglas-fir stands: Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), Ponderosa Pine (Ps ponderosa), Incense Cedar (Calocedrus decurrens), White Fir (Abies concolor), Oregon White Oak (Q garryana), Bigleaf Maple (Acer macrophyllum), California Bay (Umbellifera californica), and Tree Chinquapin (Chrysolepis chrysophylla). The shrub understory may also be quite diverse, including Huckleberry Oak (Q.

  • Seed Book7-1
    Abies procera Noble Fir Noble fir (Abies procera) is a Cascade Range species (Franklin and Dyrness 1973) that extends south from Stevens Pass, Washington (48° north) to McKenzie Bridge, Oregon (44° north) (Sorensen et al. 1990). It also occurs as scattered individuals on a few Coast Range peaks. Noble fir is a major compo- nent of the cool temperate Pacific silver fir forest zone and is associated with Pacific silver fir, western hemlock, Douglas-fir, western redcedar, and western white pine. It is primarily a species of the west Cascade slopes, but a few stands are present east of the crest. Generally noble fir occupies a 2000 foot elevation band from about 3000 to 5000 feet. There is a sharp genetic change, at the McKenzie River in the Oregon Cas- cades, where noble fir rapidly intergrades into Shasta red fir (Abies magnifica var. shastensis Lemm.); therefore seed should not be moved north or south across that point (Franklin et al. 1978 and Sorensen et al. 1990). Progeny from trees north of the McKenzie River grew taller than progeny from trees south of the McKenzie River (data on file for Willamette National Forest genetics program, Eugene, Oregon). A number of European seed source studies suggest patterns of variation for noble fir. Provenances from McKinley Lake, Washing- ton and Molalla, Oregon gave the best growth rates in German tests (Ruetz et al. 1990). Provenances generally were not different in early height in the Netherlands (Kranenborg 1988). Washington provenances were taller than provenances from Oregon in Norwegian tests (Magnesen 1995). Height growth of noble fir in Canadian tests planted three degrees north of its natural range was best for Washington Cascade sources and poorest for Oregon Coast Range sources (Xie and Ying 1994).

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF WILLIAM WESTER HINESfor the MASTER OF SCIENCE (Name i (Degree) in RANGE MANAGEMENT presented ontvl,coror, kat t (Major) (Date) Title: PLANT COMMUNITIES IN THE OLD-GROWTH FORESTS OF NORTH COASTAL OREGON Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy Dr. .Poulton This study was conducted in the old-growth forests of Clatsop, Tillamook, and Lincoln counties, Oregon.The three objectives of the research were to describe and classify the near-climax plant communities found within the forests, to relate the associes described by a previous study to the forest communities characterized by the present study, and to relate the present elk distribution to the dis- tribution of plant communities identified. Vegetation, soils, and physiographic data were collected from a large number of timbered stands of variable sizesscattered through- out the area bounded on the north by Youngs River and on the south by the Siletz River.Sampling was stratified within each tract to obtain homogeneous vegetation- soil sampling locations.Vegetation data, recorded from 137 locations, formed the basis for the plant community classification.Society tables were used for a phytosociological synthesis of vegetation data. Eleven plant communities were identified within the timbered areas studied.All were within what might be termed a broad Tsuga heterophylla forest association.Plant species useful for identifying community stands were used in naming the eleven plant communities: Tsuga heterophylla-Picea sitchensis/Oplopanax .horridum/ Athyrium filix-femina
