Native
Woody Plant Seed Collection Guide
for British Columbia
by
Mishtu Banerjee, Kim Creasey
and Diane Douglas Gertzen
Native
plants provide beauty and utility
in the context of maintaining natural
and managed ecosystems. As people
continue to utilize native plants,
there is a need to develop standard
practices for seed collection, vegetative
propagation, and nursery culture
of these species.
The goal of this guide
is to address the issue of woody
plant seed collection by presenting
information on collection practices,
species descriptions, and photographs
that aid the collector in identifying
key features of flowers, fruits,
and seeds during the stages of flowering,
forecasting, and collection.
146 pages, extensive
colour photographs, colour coded
sections for easy reference make
this an extremely useful guide for
the professional and amateur seed
collector. ISBN # 0-7726-4340-7
