| Family Scientific Name: | Grossulariaceae | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Family Common Name: | Currant family | ||
| Scientific Name: | Ribes bracteosum | ||
| Common Name: | Stink Currant | ||
| Species Code: | RIBR | ||
| Ecotype: | Riparian forest | ||
| General Distribution: | West Coast, CA to AK | ||
| Propagation Goal: | Plants | ||
| Propagation Method: | Vegetative | ||
| ProductType: | Container (plug) | ||
| Stock Type: | D60 tubes. 14" X 2.7". 60 cubic inches of volume. | ||
| Time To Grow: | Out planted after 10-12 months in nursery. | ||
| Propagule Collection: | Whips are collected after RIBR sheds its leaves in the late fall and early winter and range from 2-5 feet long. Target new growth with relatively few lateral branches and bright, consistent bark. | ||
| Propagule Processing: | Whips are cut down to 7-10in. lengths (2-3 nodes). | ||
| Pre-Planting Treatments: | Keep cut ends of whips submerged in water or wrapped in wet burlap until planting. Dip in indole-3-butyric acid and sow 2 cuttings per tube. | ||
| Growing Area Preparation/ Annual Practices for Perennial Crops: |
Soil mixture is made up of 50% grower grade peat moss, 15% coarse perlite, 20% fine bark, 15% vermiculite, and 21-4-8 Osmocote 12-14 month slow-release fertilizer at 2.5 cups/wheelbarrow. | ||
| Establishment Phase: | Cuttings sown in November were placed in a greenhouse (35F - 65F) and watered through overhead misters for ten minutes, twice daily. After three months, 80% of tubes had at least one rooted cutting. In March they were spaced and transferred into shaded wetland beds and watered with impact sprinklers for 50 minutes, three times weekly until they were out planted in December. More than 91% of rooted plants survived the Summer to be out planted. | ||
| Length of Establishment Phase: | 2 months | ||
| Hardening Phase: | Plants lignified after 3 months of growth. | ||
| Outplanting performance on typical sites: | Outplant with auger into wetlands. Cage for the first three years to limit flood damage. | ||
