| 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: Collection and reestablishment were carried out by Yosemite National Park; data not available at the Lockeford Plant Materials Center. TYPE OF MATERIAL COLLECTED FOR PROPAGATION: Cuttings. PROPAGATION METHOD: Cuttings received in flats were transplanted into cone cells in UCD mix of perlite, peat, vermiculite, sand, and Osmocote (50-50 peat/vermiculite mix had poor drainage). These were placed on bottom heat at 70§F soil temp. misting set for 4 seconds at 6-minute intervals, later changed to 4 seconds at 10-minute intervals. Cuttings received in cone cells were placed in lathhouse and fertilized with Osmocote. The latter cuttings, left inIathhouse for entire winter, had better performance than cuttings rooted in greenhouse. Results with cuttings were poor. NUMBER OF SEEDS PER POUND: Data unavailable at date of publication. PERCENT GERMINATION: Data unavailable at date of publication. |
