TPSNR and Common Garden Update!

Last weekend, I went to Torrey Pine State Natural Reserve (TPSNR) to collect cones for my common garden experiment. I was able to collect enough seeds from 20 trees that are feasible for my experiment. It was a very different environment than being out on the island, because there were a lot of people and the shrubs were over grown, above 6 feet.

Last week, I officially planted 800 Torrey pine seeds. I will be watering the seeds manually, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I am excited to see how the results will turn out!!!
