Restore garden GUELPH - Seeds from a Ken- tucky coffee tree and other native Ontario trees ,,. black. maple, mountain maple and crab apple -- have been donateO by the University , of Guelph Arboretum to help re- stock wind -damaged areas of the -English countryside. Many of the seeds H'jll bc,plantcd next spring at England's Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew.. . The Guelph effort was part of a .Canadian project that donated one evergrecn.sced for each Canadian -- 26 million -- and 35,(0X) broadleaf seeds to help restore woodland areas damaged a year ago by a violent windstorm•. Th.: storm destroyed or severely damaged 1,000 trees at Kew alone, one of the world's most important botanical gardens. Guelph arboretum curator John Ambrose collected Sox) seeds each frwn wild .populations of black ma - plc near Windsor, mountain maple at Everton and wild crab apple at Simcoc. "We had to kx:atc a pure stand of each tree to avoid hybridi- zation," says Ambrose. These seeds were shipped to the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources to help make up Ontario's contribu- tion to the project. Sceds from the. Kentucky coffee tree, however; were donated directly' ..to.the Kew. gardens. Ambrose has . collected seeds from this rare spe- cies frorn wild populations across North Antcriea.tor a study of genet- ic. variability. The seeds -for the Kcw gardens were collected by the Essex -Region Conservation Au- thority from a pure stau(1 of Ken- tucky coffee trees near burg. The The Arboretum has a regular pro- gram for seed cellcction-and main- tains a hank of seeds available to other institutions and botanical gar- dens around the world. "\1'e usually collect -40 to 50 different spgcies each year, being careful to offer rare species or those that have potential for. use elsewhere," says Ambrose. 'In turn, the Arboretum looks -to other seed banks to obtain new plant materials that have horticultu- ral or landscape potential for Onta- rio, he says.
