| Propagation Method: | seed | ||
| ProductType: | Container (plug) | ||
| Time To Grow: | 0 | ||
| Propagule Collection: | Collected in the Yosemite National Park. | ||
| Propagule Processing: |
EASE OF COLLECTION: Collection and reestablishment were carried out by Yosemite National Park; data not available at the Lockeford Plant Materials Center. METHOD OF CLEANING: Data notavailable at the Lockeford Plant Materials Center. TYPE OF MATERIAL COLLECTED FOR PROPAGATION: Seed, plant division. PROPAGATION METHOD: Division propagation was started in January. Plant was divided into 3 or 4. Plants were then placed into cold frame for 7 days and then moved into lathhouse. The majority of loss of plants before and after divisions is due to soil covering above the crown; care must be taken to plant exactly at the crown. NUMBER OF SEEDS PER POUND: Quantitative values for seed/lb. could not be found. PERCENT GERMINATION: Quantitative values for seed germination could not be found. |
||
| Pre-Planting Treatments: | PRETREATMENT USED: Divisions were placed into Vitamin B-1 solution for 15 minutes to help prevent transplant shock. Seeds: none. | ||
| Growing Area Preparation/ Annual Practices for Perennial Crops: |
METHOD OF GROWING: Collection and reestablishment were carried out by Yosemite National Park; data not available at the Lockeford Plant Materials Center. | ||
| Harvesting, Storage and Shipping: |
SEED MATURITY DATE: Quantitative values for seed maturity could not be found. STORAGE REQUIREMENTS: Longevity of seed unknown; no known special storage requirements. ESTIMATED PROPAGULE STORAGE POTENTIAL: Data unavailable at date of publication. |
