This is the first planting season for this species—a small population of it was rediscovered on the mountain in 2016 and from a tiny amount of seed collected, we’ve been able to amplify the seeds at our Mission Blue Nursery over many growing seasons. This year we’ve grown nearly 2000 seedlings to plant back on the mountain! Thank you for helping us plant them on the mountain.
