My interests include everything related to Conifers and Conifer conservation. Most notably I tend to indulge myself in the former Taxodiaceae (now merged with Cupressaceae) and Cupressaceae families. I have propagated many rare and endangered species from seed including Fitzroya cupressoides, Athrotaxis selaginoides, Athrotaxis cupressoides, Araucaria montana, Callitris oblonga, Cupressus guadalupensis, Cupressus bakeri, Cupressus stephensonii and many more. I have been studying and examining the genus Cupressus in the wild for the past year and have visited every one of the 9 native California species in the wild save for nevadensis and goveniana. The species that retains my attention the most these days is Baker's Cypress, growing in it's elusive and mysterious 11 (or more, yet undiscovered!) scattered groves across northern California.
