| Propagation Method: | seed | ||
| ProductType: | Container (plug) | ||
| Time To Grow: | 0 | ||
| Propagule Collection: | Collected in the Yosemite National Park. | ||
| Propagule Processing: |
EASE OF COLLECTION: Datanot available at the Lockeford Plant Materials Center. METHOD OF CLEANING: Data not available 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, and divisions were then placed into cold frame for 7 days and afterwards moved into lathhouse. Those divisions planted with the crown below soil surface level had the greatest fatality rate. 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. Seed: none. | ||

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 date of maturity, etc. could not be found. STORAGE REQUIREMENTS: Longevity of seed unknown. No known special stor-age requirements. ESTIMATED PROPAGULE STORAGE POTENTIAL: Data unavailable at date of publication. |
