  • City of Santa Barbara Suggested Parkway Plantings
    City of Santa Barbara Suggested Parkway Plantings In order to sustain the health of street trees, parkways must only contain street trees, plants whose maximum height is less than 8 inches tall, and/or living ground cover (mulch). Concrete, asphalt, brick, gravel or otherwise filling up the ground area around any tree so as to substantially shut off air, light or water from its roots is not allowed. Below, you will find several suggested species of groundcovers and other perennials that may be a good choice, depending on the environmental conditions in your parkway. This list is not intended to be limiting or comprehensive, but rather a starting point for planting ideas. If you have any questions about parkway plantings or groundcovers, or if you are interested in planting, modifying or removing City street trees, please contact the Parks Division at (805) 564-5433 and visit www.SantaBarbaraCA.gov/UrbanForest Muehlenbeckia axillaris (Creeping Wire Vine) DESCRIPTION: Evergreen ground-hugging vine 2-6“ tall. Can be mowed occasionally. Forms a tight mat, spreading by underground stems. Tiny 1/8 in. long, dark glossy green leaves and translucent white fruits. Stands up to foot traffic well. Best in small areas or rock gardens. CULTURAL CONDITIONS: Full sun to part shade. Tolerates poor soils but prefers well draining soils. May need some summer water but is drought tolerant once established. Dymondia margaretae (no common name) DESCRIPTION: Evergreen perennial 2-3“ tall, spreading but not invasive. Forms a tight, weed- resistant mat. Leaves are narrow, gray-green, with edges rolled up. Flowers are small yellow daisies tucked into foliage, in summer.

    Literature Cited Robert W. Kiger, Editor This is a consolidated list of all works cited in volume 9, whether as selected references, in text, or in nomenclatural contexts. In citations of articles, both here and in the taxonomic treatments, and also in nomenclatural citations, the titles of serials are rendered in the forms recommended in G. D. R. Bridson and E. R.

When those forms are abbreviated, as most are, cross references to the corresponding full serial titles are interpolated here alphabetically by abbreviated form. In nomenclatural citations (only), book titles are rendered in the abbreviated forms recommended in F. A. Stafleu and R. S. Cowan (1976–1988) and Stafleu et al. (1992–2009). Here, those abbreviated forms are indicated parenthetically following the full citations of the corresponding works, and cross references to the full citations are interpolated in the list alphabetically by abbreviated form. Two or more works published in the same year by the same author or group of coauthors will be distinguished uniquely and consistently throughout all volumes of Flora of North America by lower-case letters (b, c, d, ...) suffixed to the date for the second and subsequent works in the set. The suffixes are assigned in order of editorial encounter and do not reflect chronological sequence of publication. The first work by any particular author or group from any given year carries the implicit date suffix “a”; thus, the sequence of explicit suffixes begins with “b”.

  • Working with What You Have
    Working With What You Have Craig R. Miller Parks & Open Space Manager www.cpnmd.org Plants for Slopes Planting on a slope presents a particular set of challenges. Poor soil, uneven amounts of moisture at the top and base of a hill and runoff are the dominant issues that make hillsides tricky to plan. The best options for hills are plants with dense, fibrous root systems or a combination of these plants and erosion control techniques such as terracing. For any gentle slope that is 3 to 10 percent, select plants that will provide some erosion control. On slopes greater than 10 percent, you may need to incorporate retaining walls, terracing, boulders and other landscape tools such as erosion control blankets and turf reinforcement mats. There’s also a safety issue: Slopes greater than 20 percent are too dangerous to mow (or even to weed if the surface is wet and slippery), so plantings should be low-maintenance. To calculate percent slope, divide the difference between the elevations of two points by the distance between them, then multiply the quotient by 100. The difference in elevation between points is called the rise. The distance between the points is called the run. Thus, percent slope equals (rise / run) x 100. As an example, a 25 foot rise over a 500 foot run is a 5% slope. Shrubs Cranberry Cotoneaster (Cotoneaster apiculatus) Deciduous low hedge or groundcover with spreading branches. Glossy green leaves turn attractive shades of purple, red and bronze in autumn. Small, pink flowers in spring are followed by large, beautiful red berries that brighten the winter landscape.

Authors’ abstract: The transpiration of C. salicifolius and C. lacteus plants previously subjected to mild, moderate or severe water stress was persistently reduced compared to the unstressed controls. For C. salicifolius this was due to partial stomatal closure and to a decrease in leaf area following water stress. For C. lacteus it was mostly due to a lengthy reduction in leaf conductance. In previously unstressed C. salicifolius and C. lacteus water stress had an after-effect on stomatal opening, whereby leaf conductance did not increase readily as plant water status recovered after irrigation. Leaf conductance of C. lacteus plants that underwent several stress cycles increased readily after irrigation, independent of leaf water potentials, which were slower to recover. Chang, C-S., and J.
