| 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: After hand screening, no seed found; may be due to early collection of immature seed. TYPE OF MATERIAL COLLECTED FOR PROPAGATION: Seed, cuttings. PROPAGATION METHOD: Cuttings (none rooted): Were propagated into open flats in soil mix of 75% perlite/25% peat moss sterilized at 16O§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. 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: Cuttings: dipped into a Hormex and Captan (fungicide) solution of #3 and #16. Seed: 7 to 10 months stratification at 32§F. | ||
| 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 date of maturity could not be found. STORAGE REQUIREMENTS: Longevity of seed unknown. No known special storage requirements. ESTIMATED PROPAGULE STORAGE POTENTIAL: Can be placed in cold storage for short periods of time. |
