SEED OF THE MONTH: Ti plant Common Name: Ti or Ki in Hawaiian Scientific Name: Cordyline fruticosa Family: Asparagaceae Genus: Dracaena Height: Spacing: Sun Exposure: Up to 13ft 3-4 ft full sun to moderate shade Details: Ti is an upright evergreen shrub with slender single or branched stems. Ti can add exciting color to a landscape with a tropical theme. Its color variations range red leaves to green and variegated. It is used in landscaping as an accent hedge, foundation or background planting. In container or above ground planter, ti is suitable for growing outdoors and indoors. Soil Requirements: acidic, well drained. Water Requirements: Water one to two times per week in-ground. If it’s planted in a container water a little more frequently. (Plants in containers tend to dry out more quickly than their counter-parts in-ground). Propagation Methods: Propagate from stem sections in pieces at least one inch long. One inch cuttings can lay vertically or horizontally into a rooting medium (perlite, vermiculite, or peat moss-sand mixture) so that three-fourths of the length is buried or ¼ inch of the diameter of the horizontal section is covered. Horizontal cuttings may grow in to several plants. Keep cuttings moist and partially shaded, mist 2-3 times per day. Rooting time is 2-4 weeks. Cuttings in plain water should be at least six inches long and the end of the cutting should be immersed in about 1 inch of water. Water in the container should be changed out occasionally. After a strong root system has developed, transplant the cuttings before the roots get too long and may break off in the planting process. Water new plantings frequently until established. Known Uses: Ti leaves used in food preparation are not consumed, but leaves that come in to contact with an edible product are subject to the same standards and regulations as other edible agricultural products. They are used as food wrappers primarily due to its ability to provide moisture, tolerate high oven temperatures, and imparts a subtle flavor to many cultural dishes. Also used for hula skirts, leis, garlands and greens in floral arrangements. Halawa Xeriscape Garden Free Seed Program .

Cabbage Tree (Cordyline Australis) Distribution and Management in California State Parks
Cabbage Tree (Cordyline australis) Distribution and Management in California State Parks Ramona Robison1 and Chris Heintzelman2 California Department of Parks and Recreation 1. Natural Resources Division, Sacramento; [email protected], and 2. Russian River District, 25381 Steelhead Blvd., Duncans Mills, CA 95430; [email protected] Abstract Cabbage tree (Cordyline australis) has begun to invade the understory of the bishop pine forest and riparian zones within Salt Point State Park, Sonoma County, CA. It appears to be radiating out from historical plantings through bird-mediated seed dispersal. Since this plant has a limited distribution on our lands at the moment, Parks staff have prioritized its Cabbage Tree Habitat in Salt Point SP, June 2013 removal. Methods used for management include foliar herbicide Cabbage Tree Close-Up application, cut stump and herbicide application with EZ-Ject lance cartridges. Removal began in December 2013 and will continue to help Cabbage Tree in Salt Point SP determine the most effective long-term methods for removal of this Cabbage tree has begun to invade the species. understory of the bishop pine forest and Cabbage Tree Location riparian zones found within Salt Point SP.

GENOME EVOLUTION in MONOCOTS a Dissertation
GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School At the University of Missouri In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Kate L. Hertweck Dr. J. Chris Pires, Dissertation Advisor JULY 2011 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the dissertation entitled GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS Presented by Kate L. Hertweck A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Dr. J. Chris Pires Dr. Lori Eggert Dr. Candace Galen Dr. Rose‐Marie Muzika ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to many people for their assistance during the course of my graduate education. I would not have derived such a keen understanding of the learning process without the tutelage of Dr. Sandi Abell. Members of the Pires lab provided prolific support in improving lab techniques, computational analysis, greenhouse maintenance, and writing support. Team Monocot, including Dr. Mike Kinney, Dr. Roxi Steele, and Erica Wheeler were particularly helpful, but other lab members working on Brassicaceae (Dr. Zhiyong Xiong, Dr. Maqsood Rehman, Pat Edger, Tatiana Arias, Dustin Mayfield) all provided vital support as well. I am also grateful for the support of a high school student, Cady Anderson, and an undergraduate, Tori Docktor, for their assistance in laboratory procedures. Many people, scientist and otherwise, helped with field collections: Dr. Travis Columbus, Hester Bell, Doug and Judy McGoon, Julie Ketner, Katy Klymus, and William Alexander. Many thanks to Barb Sonderman for taking care of my greenhouse collection of many odd plants brought back from the field.

Cordyline Petiolaris Broad Leaved Palm Lily Friends Description Cordyline Petiolaris (Syn: Cordyline Terminalis Var
Plant in Focus, June 2018 Cordyline petiolaris Broad Leaved Palm Lily Friends Description Cordyline petiolaris (syn: Cordyline terminalis var. petiolaris) is a medium- sized palm-like, strappy, understory plant, growing to a maximum of 5 metres in height in its natural habitat. of It is an Australian native plant, endemic to the east coast rain forests of northern Geelong Botanic Gardens NSW and southern Queensland. The mid-green leaves are long - up to a metre - and around 15 cm wide. It can be multi-trunked. It has white or lilac small flowers in late winter to early spring. These are followed by spectacular panicles of red berries which can persist for many months. The berries attract attention at this time of year under the large Araucaria bidwillii that is a focus of our Twenty First Century Garden. Cordyline petiolaris is one of several Australian native Cordylines. Name and classification 'Cordyline' is from the Greek 'Kordyle', which means 'club'. Some sources say this refers to the large underground rhizomes of the genus; others say this refers to swellings on the trunks of some Cordyline petiolaris. C21 Garden, GBG. species. Above: June 2018. Photo: CC. Below and over page: Jan 2018. Photo: DJ. 'Petiolaris' means 'stalked', and refers to the long stalks on the flowers (and berry panicles). Cordylines were once commonly classified in the Lilyaceae family, while other botanists placed them in the Agavaceae family. They are now formally placed in the Asparagaceae family. Further information of interest Cordylines are of special interest to Australians because they link us to the South Pacific.

In this study, a reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay developed to detect and distinguish Cordyline virus 1 (CoV-1), CoV-2, CoV-3, and CoV-4 was used to determine: (i) the distribution of these viruses in Hawaii; and (ii) if they are involved in the etiology of ti ringspot disease. One hundred and thirty-seven common green ti plants with and without ti ringspot symptoms were sampled from 43 sites on five of the Hawaiian Islands and underwent the RT-PCR assay.

Cordyline Australis Cordyline Australis, Commonly Known As the Cabbage Tree, Cabbage-Palm Or Tī Kōuka Is a Widely Branched Monocot Tree Endemic to New Zealand
Cordyline australis Cordyline australis, commonly known as the cabbage tree, cabbage-palm or tī kōuka is a widely branched monocot tree endemic to New Zealand. It grows up to 20 metres (66 feet) tall with a stout trunk and sword-like leaves, which are clustered at the tips of the branches and can be up to 1 metre (3.3 feet) long. With its tall, straight trunk and dense, rounded heads, C. australis is a characteristic feature of the New Zealand landscape. Its fruit is a favourite food source for the New Zealand pigeonand other native birds. It is common over a wide latitudinal range from the far north of the North Island at 34° 25'S to the south of the South Island at 46° 30'S. Absent from much of Fiordland, it was probably introduced by Māori to the Chatham Islands at 44° 00'S and to Stewart Island at 46° 50'S. It grows in a broad range of habitats, including forest margins, river banks and open places, and is abundant near swamps. The largest known tree with a single trunk is growing at Pakawau, Golden Bay. It is estimated to be 400 or 500 years old, and stands 17 metres (56 feet) tall with a circumference of 9 metres (30 feet) at the base. Known to Māori as tī kōuka, the tree was used as a source of food, particularly in the South Island, where it was cultivated in areas where other crops would not grow. It provided durable fibre for textiles, anchor ropes, fishing lines, baskets, waterproof rain capes and cloaks, and sandals.
