Christman 1959 166 10 Apr. Redding, Shasta Co., north on Hwy 99 11:00 337 left Redding - couldn't find Diamond Mtn. across Sacramento R. & up hill onto rolling plateau with lots of P. saliniana and manzanita - which is not in bloom (the specimens I collected yesterday 5 mi. E. Redding had already collected) 46 broad flat valley - Fish Station with few oaks 47 into hills with P. ponderosa, second growth with an average 50% more or less cover as brush. 1/2 or more of the conifers are P. saliniana with many oaks. 51 crossed Pit River bridge - many hill sides all oak or brush with the pines spotty, thinning perhaps for saliniana to be on S. exposures. stopped here - few evergreen oaks which maybe tanoaks - some new growth & 8 Catalinas P. saliniana in plantations - is this an aggressive invader of California terrain? Many oaks in fresh bright green foliage = black oaks? Q. kelloggii 66 Dog Creek - starting down hill - the saliniana decreases & Doug fir takes over, and about 70 inches cedar shears & and becomes part of the forest Siskiyou Co. 85 Castle Crag { above = lots of redbud 90 { Dursumus } alittle dogwood The forests are denser here & all high, crests, etc have snow on them.
