Propagation and Cultivation of Arctostaphylos in Relation to the Environment In Its Natural Habitat in California, U.S.A.

摘要

The Mary Helliar Travel Scholarship helped to fund a visit to California to study native plants in their natural habitats and in cultivation. Throughout my study I observed Arctostaphylos, commonly known as manzanita, growing naturally and was able to relate the natural habitats to cultivation conditions in botanic gardens and commercial nurseries where I learnt about the propagation and production of members of the genus.
