Narrative
Summer-dormant, generally leafless during hot season at collection site, main branch tips die back during drought

Today I am sending you by first class mail a small package containing a variety of cuttings of Sambucus caerulea var. mexicana at the request of Dr. WIlliam R. Feldman, Director of our institution. This species is summer-dormant at our location and generally leafless during the hot season. The tips of the main branches die during the drought and the plant starts to come back t life about this time of year. For this reason I have included a number of young leafy branches which can be trimmed back for rooting under mist. Also included are a few sticks from last year with axillary buds about ready to open, although the apical buds are missing due to the manner of summer dormancy. The cuttings are intermixed with some moist perlite which I have found to be satisfactory method for shipping short distances. - letter from Frank S. Crosswhite, Curator and Research Scientist, Boyce Thompson Southwestern Arboretum P.O. Box AB Superior, AZ 85273.
