Family Scientific Name: Grossulariaceae
Family Common Name: Currant
Scientific Name: Ribes viscosissimum
Common Name: Sticky Currant
General Distribution: Sagebrush, forest; 4,000-10,000 feet.
Propagation Goal: cuttings
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: 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 were propagated into open flats in soil mix of 75% perlite/25% peat moss sterilized at 160§F for 24 hours. Bottom heat was set at 70§F with misting on 3 seconds at 10-minute intervals and grow lights were on from 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. These did well in greenhouse, but started to die back once placed in lathhouse. Results with cuttings were poor.
