Within the past
twenty years there has been a growing interest in native
plants among land stewards (both public and private), nursery
growers, and consumers. Many desirable and ecologically
important species, however, are difficult to propagate by seed
and/or vegetative cuttings. One of the goals of our lab is to
enhance the propagation of taxa that have unique and complex
germination requirements. This is done by combining classical
horticulture techniques with an understanding of the
ecological characteristics of species of interest. |
