Greetings all...

For those of you seriously into native plant propagation I would
like to share a recent discovery: Practical Woody Plant Propagation
for Nursery Growers by Bruce Macdonald (1986, Timber Press,
Portland, Oregon). Not for the faint-hearted, this little puppy
runs to 669 pages and goes for $59.95! 

Still, if you want to know most everything you need to know about
propagation from seeds, cuttings, and layering; seed collection,
treatment, and storage; greenhouses and hand tools; rooting and
rooting hormones; grafting; and a bunch of other stuff; and have a
curiosity about commercial practices, this book is for you. Plenty
of clear photographs and drawings, plus a brief technical
bibliography for each chapter. It is not specific to Northwest
natives (Macdonald is director of the Botanical Garden at the
University of British Columbia), but the techniques are universal
and some examples do draw on Northwest natives.

Enjoy!
