• Nostalgic Sunday, here going back to Sept 2013 ACS conference in the Pacific Northwest. Seven years later, how are these little treasures which at the time seemed so impossibly small? #albersvistagardens #coniferguy #ilovebremerton

  • These crop circles are in Japan’s Miyazaki Prefecture. Viewable only from above, they were formed by Sugi, Japanese cedar trees. In 1973, Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries designated an area of “experimental forestry” and one of the experiments was to try and measure the effect of tree spacing on growth. Sugi is Japanese for the tree Cryptomeria japonica. It used to be considered by some to be endemic to Japan. However, the famed Japanese botanist and plant ecology expert Akira Miyawaki proved since the 1970s that trees such as Japanese Cedar, Cypress and Larch Pine, i.e. including Cryptomeria had in fact been progressively introduced into Japan over many centuries by foresters in order to produce timber. Miyawaki calculated that only about 0.06% of contemporary Japanese forests are actual indigenous forests.
