Bush Tucker, Billabongs and Billy Tea Tour Links

Brachychiton rupestris, the Australian bottle tree -source of water for hunters. 

I'd like to thank everybody who showed up for the Bush Tucker, Billabongs and Billy Tea tour. We had two great tour groups and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience for everybody, myself included.

Here are some links to sights that can help you start building your own bush tucker garden:

Bombs Away? Nooooooo!

Q. My Fucraea plant has dropped hundreds of little bombs during the last rains –what can I do with them? It seems a shame to waste them

The bombs you mention are the way the Fucraea reproduces –in time each of them can form a mature Fucreae –let’s look at the possibilities and which one is most compatible with the environment:

1.     Plant them around your property

a.         Only works if you have room for the 40+ foot plant –of course since the Fucraea that is producing the plantlets is going to die sometime in the near future you have at least one place to plant one of them.

b.         You’ll be looking at the same problem 40-60 years from now.

2.     Pot them and…

a.           Sell them as house plants

                                                    i.     Fucraea are full sun plants and only those in sunny windows will survive

a.     They get quite large and may quickly outgrow the spots they are placed in

b.     They require much better air circulation than most indoor areas provide

b.           Sell them as outdoor landscape plants

                                                    i.     Better option than 2a but you would require a retail nursery license in order to do so.

3.     Plant them surreptitiously on public and private land

a.           Most Fucraea do not scale well to what is considered ‘classic’ guerilla gardening

b.           Trespassing is illegal

4.     Compost them and:

a.           Mulch them around your replacement Fucraea

                                                    i.     Returns Fucraea specific nutrients to the soil

                                                   ii.     Creates a look that is similar to what surrounds Fucreae in the wild.  

b.           Mulch other plants with them

                                                    i.     Fucreae seedlings are quite fibrous, and their persistence may look ‘trashy’

                                                   ii.     There is a small chance that they might exhibit a degree of ‘alellopathy’, a property whereby the decaying foliage of some plants and trees is toxic to plants and germinating seeds.

5.     Toss them in the trash

a.           Noooooooo...

Killer Parasitic Plant Found on California Pepper Trees

About a week ago I got an email from some volunteers at a local park. They had dodder on their trees and needed to know how to control it. I asked them to send some pictures of the infestation, and I was quite surprised when I received them. Heaps of dodder vine were actually killing the tops of the trees. After doing some research on dodder I was made aware of Japanese dodder, a vine that threatens to become the Kudzu of California. It is what amounts to a super dodder and is considered a real threat to California agriculture. I had to check it out for myself so I visited the park. 

When I got there I was not disappointed; the amount of dodder on the trees was exceptional (see the pictures below).  I obtained some of the plant to try to identify. 

Turns out dodder is real tough to identify, especially if the minute whitish flowers are dry -as the ones on my specimen were. Still I was able to determine that this dodder was not the Japanese dodder due to the shape of the inflorescence (a typical Japanese dodder inflorescence is pictured here) and the fact that stems on the Japanese dodder can be 1/4 pencil thickness or better.

California pepper (Schinus molle) with substantial dodder infestation. the dodder appears as a golden mass at the top of the tree. 

Notice the thread-like dodder vines massing around the dying California pepper branches. 

Close up of dodder on pepper tree, notice dead branches in the background. 

Closeup of dodder from the pepper tree -notice the leaf in the middle of the picture; the dodder vine that seems to be laying on top of it as actually attached to it and has sucked the life out of it. 

Close up of dodder flowers -the flowers on the dodder vines were all dry -making them impossible to identify positively. However I was able to determine that the plant in question was not the dangerous Japanese dodder -its inflorescence is much different looking. 

Some Links for the Valentines' Day 'Love Potions' Tour

I'd like to thank everybody who took the 'Love Potion' tour this last Valentine's Day. It was a huge success and everybody was real enthusiastic -a great audience and I was privileged to be a part of the whole thing. Some people were asking that I post whatever references I had for the tour and so here are some of them -I'll post more at a later date.   Cheers,   Frank Promegranate (Punica granatum) https://ojs.lib.byu.edu/spc/index.php/StudiaAntiqua/article/viewFile/11992/11932 http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/pomegranate.html Olive (Olea europa) http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop../janick-papers/fruits-bible.pdf http://faculty.wwu.edu/~zaferan/Ithaca%20Curriculum/agriculture/Sustainable%20Agriculture%20-%20Olive%20Oil.pdf Peaches (Prunus persica) http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Peach https://ia600504.us.archive.org/17/items/mythslegendsoffl00skin/mythslegendsoffl00skin_djvu.txt Apple (Malus domestica) http://www.four-h.purdue.edu/apple_genomics/folklore.html Mulberry (Morus sp.) http://cmes.arizona.edu/sites/cmes.arizona.edu/files/The%20Love%20Story%20of%20Pyramus%20and%20Thisbe.pdf https://ia600504.us.archive.org/17/items/mythslegendsoffl00skin/mythslegendsoffl00skin_djvu.txt Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) http://ucanr.edu/sites/uc_master_gardeners/files/154651.pdf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosemary http://aromaticamedica.tripod.com/id23.html Mango (Mangifera indica) http://bhort.bh.cornell.edu/conservatory/cpage3.html” Banana (Musa sp.)

The Unseen Arboretum (Amazing Images)

Recently the FLIR corporation was kind enough to lend us one of their thermal imagers in order to determine if they could detect the level infestation of a new and dangerous pest here, the Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer. The images produced by the machine, a FLIR T440, are amazing. At night the trees seem to glow (even though the temperature differences are small, the coloration that is done by the FLIR camera highlights them dramatically).  Initial analysis of the images seem show a correlation between the images and infestation levels of the pest. 

A FLIR T440 image of shot hole borer infested oak trees -the differing colors on the trunks are due to temperature differences. 

The spots on this oaks' trunk may be due to shot hole borer activity. 

At night the trees at the Arboretum glow in the eyes of the FLIR T440 thermal camera. 

The bright yellow color indicates hotter areas then those areas showing orange or purple.

Fugly Tumorous Ball Found on Aloe

 

Fugly Tumorous Ball -What is It?

Sometimes nature throws us a curve ball, and sometimes it can literally look like a ball -a ball of pure 100% ugly. Such is the case with this wild looking tumorous mass of tissue found growing on an aloe plant here. Turns out it's the end result of an infestation of a mite, Aceria aloinis, which injects a hormone like compound into the aloe that causes it to grown in a deformed manner. This is good for the mite because it can hide from predators in these convoluted growths, and in addition they are protected from most 'natural' insect sprays like soap and horticultural oil because the sprays cannot penetrate into these twisted masses of plant material. I'll be working to control this monster (actually the mite is no larger then a couple hundredths of an inch) in the coming month so I'll report back to you on what works for it.

Fiorinia pinicola Scale found on Podocarpus Here.

Podocarpus are stalwart mainstays of landscaping here in Southern California. Their evergreen, feathery foliage does duty as both a standalone tree and a thick, 20-30 foot privacy hedge. One of their best traits is their relative freedom from pests -still there are a few, including this one that was brought to my attention.

I'd never seen it before so I sent it to Gevork Arakelian, entomologist for the County of Los Angeles Agricultural Commissioner's office. Turns out it's a type of scale from asia known as 'Juniper Fiorinia Scale' (Fiorinia pinacola). It's so far nothing to worry about -if it gets out of hand just use soap or oil spray.
