[SOS-PCA] Collecting from tall trees

[Lindquist, Anna E]

Hi folks,

We have a crew looking for tips for collecting from tall populations of Olneya tesota (desert ironwood) and Parkinsonia florida (blue paolo verde).
If anyone has experience with the species, please reply to the SOS listserv with your tips and tricks!
And/or if you have experience collecting from very tall trees, that would be a great discussion for the listserv.
Some common methods include the following, but please feel free to add your favorite!

  *   Using apple/fruit picker baskets
  *   Using an extendable tree pruner
  *   Placing a tarp beneath the tree and shaking it

Thanks,
Anna
