POSEY* and JAMES F. GOGGANS Department of Forestry THERE HAS BEEN considerable interest in growing Cupressus (cypress) in the Southeast for several years. The Agricultural Experiment Station, Auburn University, was the first institution in the Southeast to initiate work on the cy- presses in 1937, and since that time many states have introduced Cupressus in hope of finding a species suitable for Christmas tree production. In most cases seed for trial plantings were obtained from commercial dealers without reference to seed source or form of parent tree. Many plantings yielded a high proportion of columnar-shaped trees not suitable for the Christmas tree market. It is probable that seed used in Alabama and other Southeastern States came from only a few trees of a given geo- graphic source.

  • Morphology and Morphogenesis of the Seed Cones of the Cupressaceae - Part II Cupressoideae
    1 2 Bull. CCP 4 (2): 51-78. (10.2015) A. Jagel & V.M. Dörken Morphology and morphogenesis of the seed cones of the Cupressaceae - part II Cupressoideae Summary The cone morphology of the Cupressoideae genera Calocedrus, Thuja, Thujopsis, Chamaecyparis, Fokienia, Platycladus, Microbiota, Tetraclinis, Cupressus and Juniperus are presented in young stages, at pollination time as well as at maturity. Typical cone diagrams were drawn for each genus. In contrast to the taxodiaceous Cupressaceae, in Cupressoideae outgrowths of the seed-scale do not exist; the seed scale is completely reduced to the ovules, inserted in the axil of the cone scale. The cone scale represents the bract scale and is not a bract- /seed scale complex as is often postulated. Especially within the strongly derived groups of the Cupressoideae an increased number of ovules and the appearance of more than one row of ovules occurs. The ovules in a row develop centripetally. Each row represents one of ascending accessory shoots. Within a cone the ovules develop from proximal to distal. Within the Cupressoideae a distinct tendency can be observed shifting the fertile zone in distal parts of the cone by reducing sterile elements. In some of the most derived taxa the ovules are no longer (only) inserted axillary, but (additionally) terminal at the end of the cone axis or they alternate to the terminal cone scales (Microbiota, Tetraclinis, Juniperus). Such non-axillary ovules could be regarded as derived from axillary ones (Microbiota) or they develop directly from the apical meristem and represent elements of a terminal short-shoot (Tetraclinis, Juniperus).

  • Santa Ana Mountains Tecate Cypress (Cupressus Forbesii) Management Plan
    Final Santa Ana Mountains Tecate Cypress (Cupressus forbesii) Management Plan Prepared by: Susana Rodriguez-Buritica & Katharine Suding University of California, Berkeley Department of Environmental Sciences, Policy, and Management Berkeley, CA 94720 & Kristine Preston Nature Reserve of Orange County 15600 Sand Canyon Avenue Irvine, CA 92618 Prepared for: California Department of Fish and Game 4949 Viewridge Avenue San Diego, CA 92123 Contract # P0750005 01 & Nature Reserve of Orange County May 17, 2010 Santa Ana Mountains Tecate Cypress Management Plan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Orange County’s Central and Coastal Natural Community Conservation Plan/Habitat Conservation Plan (NCCP/HCP) was established in 1996 to conserve sensitive plant and animal species on approximately 37,000 acres. Tecate cypress (Cupressus forbesii) is a rare endemic species restricted to several locations in southern California and northern Baja California. The northern most population of Tecate cypress occurs in the Santa Ana Mountains within the NCCP/HCP Central Reserve and receives regulatory coverage under the Plan. This population is threatened by too frequent wildfire. The Nature Reserve of Orange County (NROC) oversees monitoring and management of species within the NCCP/HCP and formed the Tecate Cypress Management Committee (TCMC) to develop a management plan for this species. The committee is composed of land owners, land managers and regulatory agencies with an interest in conserving Tecate cypress in the NCCP/HCP. This management plan was developed by NROC based upon the work of researchers from UC Berkeley and input from the TCMC. The objectives of this management plan included determining the current distribution and demographic structure of the Santa Ana Mountains Tecate cypress population and using this data in ecological models to assess threats to persistence and to identify restoration sites for enhancing the population.

  • Page 1 the Following Pages Outline Phasing Recommendations for The
    Kruckeberg Botanic Garden Master Site Plan PHASING AND IMPLEMENTATION he following pages outline phasing recommendations for the KruckebergT Botanic Garden that seem desirable to address the needs, vision, and requirements of a private garden’s evolution into the publc domain. With the transfer of this property from a private residence to a commercial public entity, new sets of codes, restrictions, and opportunities come into play. These deal with public safety, health, and well-being and ensure that equal opportunities are afforded to all. Within a limited budget, Phase 1 responds to these immediate needs by providing on-site public parking to reduce impacts to the surrounding residential community, adding much needed public restrooms, and creating a permanent and separate service access road and staff parking area. Phase 2 focuses on siting an interpretive switchback boardwalk trail that connects the upper and lower gardens in an aesthetic ADA-compliant manner. It is also envi- sioned that an ADA-compliant loop path would be routed through the lower garden. While it would be optimal to build the environmental learning center in Phase 2, it is recognized that lack of funding may require deferment to a later phase. Further development of future phases depends on many factors, most importantly securing funding and the commitment of the City, Foundation, and public to sup- port and encourage new work to proceed. In the end, this alone will determine how quickly Garden projects are completed and the Garden vision, as outlined in this report, is realized. This is a modest plan as represented by the development costs associated with each phase in 2010 dollars.

  • Restoring Fire to Endemic Cypress Populations in Northern California

These species bear closed (serotinous) cones that depend on fire for seed dispersal and require post-fire conditions, such as bare mineral soil and direct sunlight, to germinate (Vogl et al. 1977). Fire has been successfully excluded from many Baker and Macnab cypress populations for almost a century. Cypress groves at many sites are densely crowded with shade-tolerant species and adult cypresses are dying with almost no evidence of regeneration. The intent of our research was to provide land managers with critical information to manage cypress populations by determining if fire management is necessary to restore cypress populations, and if prescribed burning can successfully promote cypress regeneration. We also investigated factors that affect cypress vigor and canopy seed storage. We collected information on stand density, age, health, cone production, shrub and understory species cover, fuel loading, and environmental conditions at most of the known populations of Baker cypress (11 sites) and at three sites supporting Macnab cypress.

  • Cypress Species in Oregon
    Cypress Species in Oregon Frank Callahan PO Box 5531, Central Point, OR 97502 lthough not widely known, four species of cypress are native in southwestern AOregon, a northern extension of the California Floristic Provence. These are Baker cypress (Hesperocyparis bakeri), Mendocino cypress (H. pygmaea), MacNab cypress (H. macnabiana), and Sargent cypress (H. sargentii). (New World cypresses, formerly Cupressus, are currently classified as Hesperocyparis; see sidebar.) I will tell the story of how and where they were discovered and named, what is known about their ecology and management, and speculate on the prospects for their survival. Baker Cypress1 In 1914 Forest Ranger William “Bill” C. Fruit discovered the first cypress found in Oregon on Steve Peak in the Siskiyou Mountains while clearing the route for a phone line to the lookout. Unfortunately, he did not document his discovery Bob Adams standing next to a Baker cypress trunk; note the characteristic flaking bark. Photo by Frank Callahan. with specimens (Matthews 1963). Three years later, on 24 August 1917, Forest Ranger Joseph two botanists from Southern Oregon College (SOC) who concluded L. Mackechnie and Matt W. Gorman, Superintendent of the that they were Baker cypress. This site is the northernmost cypress Forestry Building in Portland, collected voucher specimens from population in North America.
