example, after fires, grass seeds arescattered on the burned hillsides.Roots of grasses grow near the soilsurface and hence “knit” the soiltogether, preventing erosion whenwinter rains fall on the burned hillsides.

The relationship in the size (bio-mass) of the root system to theshoot system changes with the ageof the plant. In young seedlings thesize of root system is usually largerthan the shoot, which is importantfor the establishment of the newplant. As the plant matures the ratioof root to shoot becomes almostequal. Thus, when gardeners “trans-plant” plants, they necessarily leavebehind a large portion of the rootsystem. This represents a real shockto the plant and is best overcome byrestoring the root shoot ratio, which

is accomplished by pruning the shoot system at the time oftransplanting.

The lifespan of individual roots has rarely been studied,but it can range from a week or two to several years.

While we tend to think of roots as only growing under-

With these sentences VernonQuinn in 1938 introduced

his book, Roots—Their Place in Lifeand Legend. Now, more than half acentury later, the picture haschanged considerably. Roots androot systems have attracted theattention of a diverse and expand-ing group of biologists and horti-culturists.

The stereotypical view of a rootis that of an underground, random-ly branching network of tissue thatfunctions to anchor the plant; toabsorb nutrients from the soil; and,in some instances, as in carrots andradishes, to serve as a storage organ.Because roots usually grow under-ground, variations in their structureand habit are not easy to observe.But with careful excavation, it ispossible to discover much about theroot “life-style”. Depending on the species and the soil envi-ronment, root number and distribution can vary greatly. Forsome species most roots grow downward, often at a steep,nearly vertical angle. For other species most roots grow moreor less horizontally, often near or just below the soil surface.These differences in root habit are exploited by humans. For

Roots“Far too long roots have lain hidden away in the ground.

No one seems to have considered it worth while to dig them out of their obscurity, to give them more than a passing thought.”

ground, close inspection reveals that many roots do grow in the absence of soil. This circumstance is frequently encoun-tered in roots specialized for a particular function, such asthe roots of climbing ivy which secrete a substance thatallows the plant to adhere to buildings and other surfaces. Aparticularly impressive example of root specialization is seenin tropical orchids. In these species the roots not only anchorthe plant to the tree, but the roots also are specialized toabsorb water which comes from heavy, but usually shortdownpours of rain. To capture and absorb the water in sucha short time, the root has modified its outer surface withdead cells that function as a reservoir that fills rapidly withrain water, which is then gradually absorbed into the body ofthe plant long after the downpour has ended. Try pouringsome water on these aerial roots, and you’ll notice that theychange color as the water is rapidly sequestered.

Gardeners know that crop rotation is important to main-tain the fertility of soils. Crop rotations usually involveplanting a member of the legume (pea) family alternating

ROOTS (continued from page 1)

with the main crop of interest. But why does soil fertilityincrease, and why do we plant members of the legume family?The answer can be had by looking at the roots, which onclose inspection are “decorated” with little pink bumps,called “nodules”. Within the nodules are found bacteria thatare given a “home” and sugar by the plant, and in return,provide the plant with so called “fixed” nitrogen that can beused for the continued growth and development of theplant. While the nitrogen-fixing association between roots oflegumes and bacteria is perhaps the best-known example of abeneficial relationship between roots and microbes, biologistshave come to appreciate that roots of most plants have likelydeveloped beneficial associations with soil microbes. Mostwidespread are mycorrhizal associations, which are an associ-ation between roots and soil fungi. The benefit of this associ-ation to the plant appears to be in increasing the supply ofphosphate and micronutrients, such as copper and zinc.

We know that plant shoot systems compete for light. Isthere competition between roots in the soil? Not unexpect-edly, when resources are limited, competition increases, caus-ing the plant to apportion more biomass to the root system,and often causing a change in the direction of root growth,with more roots growing downward, rather than horizontal-ly. So in a garden of closely spaced plants, there is likelyfierce competition going on below ground. The root is oftenout of sight; but to be a successful gardener, the root systemcannot be ignored.

—Prof. Lewis Feldman

Prof. Feldman’s research interests include plant growth anddevelopment, especially in pattern development in roots. He alsohas an interest in where and how gravity is perceived in roots,and for this effort has focused his attention on the root cap, theterminal-most region of the root.

valves will remain as areminder near the entrance;they will be in a planting bedwhere we can hide themwhen we build the newEntrance.

The Conference Centerface-lift is still in progress. Sofar, major changes are visiblein the removal of large cabi-nets that blocked the win-dows, removal of the nastycorkboard from the walls andimproving the look of theboards and projection screen.All this was done in-housewith our very talented GeraldFord, and his able studentassistants. Future plans call

for new drapes and most importantly, new overhead lighting(to replace the current industrial fluorescent lamps); unfortu-nately, these require that we raise private funds. The effectwill be to make the Garden a significant venue for rentals,

conferences, etc.; in fact, I hopeyou will all keep this in mind asa great place for your events.

The Garden is not all aboutconstruction. Two major eventssince the last Newsletter were theannual Spring Plant Sale and the

Garden Party. I am pleased to announce that both wereextremely successful; in fact, the best on record. Not onlydid they generate significant funds that are so precious, butthe consensus was that a great time was had by all (the realmeasure of success for me). Neither of these would havebeen remotely possible without the dedication of the staffand a very large number of volunteers who participated inevery phase of the work. While we continue to need morevolunteers to support and expand our efforts, we certainly donot need better volunteers; we already have the best. Theseevents also point out the value of having volunteers whohave only limited time and who may be willing to work onlyon specific events. If you enjoy this kind of success, pleasecontact us.

We are moving ahead with plans to start construction onthe new Entrance. We have almost reached our funding tar-get. In order to make the best Entrance possible, I urge you

My first year has come toan end, and what a

wonderful whirlwind adven-ture it has been. Despite con-tinued budget cuts—relatedto the state’s economic woes—we have not only kept ourheads above water but have sofar maintained all the staffand continued to make in-roads into a number of infra-structure problems that havelong plagued the Garden. I’vealluded to many of theimprovements that we havebeen able to accomplish inpast Newsletters.

Briefly, some of the majoritems include building a newretaining wall at the Conference Center, a new retaining wallalong the road leading to the Hammond Bird Deck in theCalifornian Area, repairing the floors in the staff building,and building the new state-of-the-art Jane Gray ResearchGreenhouse. All of these weremade possible by generousdonors. They were not withoutsome “glitches”. For example, theJane Gray Greenhouse was com-pleted in January but could notbe turned on until July, becauseit was discovered that the power transformers in the Gardencould not handle the anticipated electrical load; the campushad to upgrade the transformers.

Another major project (funded by the University)involved partial replacement of our antiquated irrigation sys-tem and bringing in potable water to the Conference Center;the original scope of the project was to do this for the wholeGarden. To say that this project was disruptive is truly anunderstatement. It involved tearing up the entrance andtrenching the entire road from the entrance to theConference Center, making the Californian Area almostinaccessible at times. It was to be completed by May 9, wellin advance of our rental season. To summarize, they missedthe May 9 deadline, at least for 2004, and we sufferedthrough the mess during our big June 19 Annual GardenParty, which, incidentally, was a great success. The projectwas completed and the promised new paved road was finallyinstalled by the end of August. Two large back-flow preventer

wonderful collection.Finally and most important is the health of the collection

itself. I’m very pleased to report that the Garden has neverlooked better. Having recently attended my first meeting ofthe professional society dealing with such things (AmericanAssociation of Botanical Gardens and Arboreta), my ownfeelings about the collection were constantly reinforced bythe opinions of others. Data I have been collecting over thepast year, and feedback from visits to the other major gar-dens, reveal our standing in the world at large. It has becomeincreasingly evident to me that we have one of the mostdiverse plant collections in the country and that we areunique in the quality of our collection: while 60% or moreof our collection is of wild origin (collected from their nativehabitats), other similarly diverse collections typically havewell under 50% and down to only 5% from the wild (theyrely on “store-bought” plants and have a large proportion ofcultivars). Our collection is very special and we must, there-fore, strive all the harder to preserve our precious charges. Ialso think it imperative that we spread the word since fullappreciation of what we have will help us better support it.

—Paul Licht

The Garden is in need of equipment and funding for specific projects. Please consider contributingtoward the following:

Chipper /Shredder: We have identified a specific piece of equipment that would be of great valueto our horticultural operation: a portable chipper/shredder. It will allow us to chip plants right in place inthe Garden, saving the effort of dragging branches up to the corporate yard, and allowing us to recycle thechips right into the beds. The cost of a new chipper/shredder is about $2,000.

Wall in Asian Area: The old stone wall above the Strawberry Creek is slowly but surely suc-cumbing to the forces of age and gravity. Donation of a new wall presents an excellent opportuni-ty to name a significant Garden feature in someone’s honor. Cost of rebuilding the wall is estimatedat $50,000.

Bridge over Strawberry Creek: In the interests of safety and in developing the aestheticappearance of the Garden, a wooden, Asian style bridge is proposed for the lower crossing of the creeknear the beautiful dawn redwood glade. This presents an opportunity to sponsor a most charming, indeedunique, named object in the Asian Area of the Garden.

Conference Center Renovation Project: Let there be light! Great strides have been made in renovatingthe Conference Center. The big white cupboards have been moved out – replaced by a more functional custom-built cabi-net at the back of the room; all of the walls have been painted, and new curtains ordered. We still need funding to replacethe old light fixtures in order to complete the renovation. Ten new light fixtures are needed, each valued at $500—please con-sider sponsoring a new light fixture.

If you are interested in sponsoring a Wish List item, please contact Director Paul Licht, (510) 643-8999 or JanetWilliams in the Garden Development Office at (510) 643-2937.

PLANTS AND LANDSCAPES FOR SUMMER-DRY CLIMATES OF THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA;photos by Saxon Holt; prepared by the Water Conservationstaff; Nora Harlow, ed.; design by Beth Hansen-Winter; illus.by Richard Pembroke; East Bay Municipal Utility District,Oakland, CA, 2004; charts; plant lists; bibliography;320pp.; $34.95, paper; $49.95, cloth.

For many years EBMUD has urged its home sub-scribers to conserve water. They have put household

hints in our water bills and built demonstration gardensfor us to visit. They have employed landscape advisors tohelp us and they have published brochures and books forus to refer to. Now, in this long anticipated 2nd edition totheir 1986 Water-Conserving Plants and Landscapes for theBay Area, they have assembled a virtual Who’s Who of BayArea experts to produce a new, useful, and handsome refer-ence for us to turn to.

Gardeners living in the nine San Francisco Bay Areacounties experience warm, dry summers and cool, wetwinters, the Mediterranean climate we all must work withwhen we garden. This 2d edition, with every piece ofadvice, every chart, every picture and every plant selectedand described, is meant to guide us as we plan or renovateour gardens and landscapes so that they will fit seamlessly

into the world we live in.To give us a ‘feel’ for the natural environment sur-

rounding our crowded cities, five plant communitieswith their signature plants are beautifully pictured anddescribed. These communities are the foundation we areurged to use when we build our gardens and land-scapes. In doing this we incidentally conserve energyand water, provide habitats for birds and butterflies,and establish urban sanctuaries for ourselves.

The many Bay Area experts—quite a few ofwhom are staff and volunteers at UC Botanical

Garden—who have worked on this beautiful book forso long, have given us many tools with which we can makeour garden plans. There is a fine plant catalog of morethan 650 carefully chosen native California and other suit-able plants to choose from, with recommendations onwhere to plant them, how to plant them, and how to carefor them. The selected California plants will be happy inour gardens, and the non-natives will not be become nox-ious weeds in our natural landscapes. There are outstand-ing pictures of the plants themselves and of the gardensthey are growing in.

The writers, editors, artists, gardeners, horticulturists,nursery owners, educators, and especially the photograph-er, Saxon Holt, have every reason to be proud of this stun-ningly beautiful reference. All the experts are so wellknown in their communities that anyone using this bookwill find it much the same as talking with a well respectedneighbor about their garden plans.

Book Review

University of California Botanical Garden at Berkeley8

Whatever the occasion for the joyous gathering of family and friends at the celebratory event you are plan-ning, we urge you to consider the Garden as the locationto hold that special event. Events held at the Garden thisspring and summer have included a 75th birthday, a wedding anniversary, a Bar Mitzvah celebration, and manyweddings.

Every effort is being made to upgrade the facility forthe enjoyment of renters. Recent renovations to theGarden’s Conference Center have included: removal of theold cork board and repainting throughout, removal of thebig white cupboards at the front of the Mirov Roomwhich were replaced by custom-built cupboards at theback of the room, the installation of new curtains andreorganization of the white board. New canopies havebeen purchased to provide shade for those renting the

Terrace for events held there against the beautiful back-ground of the cycad and palm collection. Still in the worksis more modern lighting in the Mirov Room which willfurther improve the ambience of the room, making it allthe more attractive, especially as a site for weddings (seeWish List this issue).

The Conference Center is definitely available forrental, despite ongoing construction projects at theGarden. The irrigation project, providing new pipes to theConference Center, is almost complete and the newentrance project is slated to commence in October. Everyeffort will be made to accommodate renters during thisconstruction and members are assured that the Gardencontinues to appreciate their renting the facilities duringthis period.

Benches provide an enjoyable interlude during visits tothe Garden, and are much appreciated by our visitors.

Each bench donation also benefits the area in which it islocated by providing funds for improved collection mainte-nance and redevelopment in its vicinity. Recent improve-ments facilitated by new bench placements include treework, path re-routing, rock wall construction, soil amend-ment additions and the planting out of new accessions. Wegreatly appreciate the support of those who have contributedto the placement of these benches.

The bench program was reactivated in 2002 after severalyears’ hiatus. These benches have been sponsored in theGarden since 2002, dedicated to the following individuals:

Herbert Baker Tropical House

John and Ginnie Chin Tropical House

Alice and David Fong Southern Africa

Ada and William Harrison Mather Redwood Grove

Marianne Loring Australasia

Keiko Morimoto Hentell Asia

Dorothy V. King Asia

Dorothy Nyswander California

Herbert Phillips Australasia

Carmella Tellone Mediterranean

Benjamin Ulrich New World Desert

Near the front entrance, in a shaded section in theMexican & Central American Area, a large custom-builttable was recently dedicated in honor of Sylvia EdeglassBonnell. This table provides a great meeting or picknickingplace and is already much appreciated by visitors.

Several new bench locations are currently available forsponsorship. The Garden would welcome your interest in sup-porting a new bench or table—please contact Janet Williamsin the Garden Development Office at (510) 643-2937.

This new bench in the Australasian Area was dedicated to MarianneLoring.
