Today, the Foundation leads a broad community of members, volunteers PROM THE CEO On any morning I invite you to Baldwin Lake. Herons, egrets and cormorants perch on partially submerged logs, while turtles swim in a reflected Queen Anne Cottage. Together with cypress and palms planted over a century ago, and a still active artesian spring, you have come to the heart of the Arboretum. That we have chosen restoration of Baldwin Lake as a priority would come as no surprise to Elias Jackson Baldwin, or to those who came before. From Tongva villagers to early 20th Century boosters, the waters have been sustenance and inspiration. But sadly, contemporary conditions have dimmed the lake’s beauty and function. Obsolete drainage systems allow polluting run-off from the urban watershed to the north. For’ over a century the lake has accumulated sediments, resulting in decreased water depth and elevated water temperatures that reduce aquatic species diversity. Guided by our Strategic Plan, we began work this past summer with hydrologists, engineers and landscape architects to restore Baldwin Lake to Founded in 1948, the Foundation President programs, and publications serving Vice-President Secretary Kristin Creighton Janice A. Sharp, Ph.D. Shelley D. Harter HEART OF THE ARBORETUM its former beauty and health. Through studies of existing conditions, we established these vital goals: First and foremost, we must improve water quality and the aquatic ecosystem, not only enhancing the lake as a scenic resource, but providing improved habitat conditions for plants and animals. Second, we envision Baldwin Lake as a model for community-based stewardship and water conservation, particularly in its role as part of the Raymond Basin, the vast aquifer of the northwestern San Gabriel Valley. Public programs that explore the history of the lake, as well as local hydrology, would provide a much needed educational focus on water. Finally, we can both mitigate lakeside erosion and celebrate the legacy of E.J. Baldwin by building new shorelines evocative of the original design detail, and aesthetically and ecologically appropriate to the Arboretum. Is restoring Baldwin Lake a highly ambitious undertaking that can succeed only with considerable commitment from the community and public agencies? Yes, but if not undertaken now, the challenge will only grow. It will be a journey of several years, yet we reach for a healthy lake, stunning in its beauty, that can inspire increased stewardship and appreciation of our region’s most precious resource. —Richard Schulhof, CEO THE LOS ANGELES ARBORETUM FOUNDATION 2013 BOARD OF TRUSTEES Kenneth D.

WINTER/SPRING 2013 ’ LB 2 — ~* THE LAND THAT SHAPES US There is a landscape between Alpine, Texas and Big Bend National Park that lives in my mind, It consists of rolling grasslands and I see it as a greenish, tawny brown, so it must be in October or March, not the searing summer of July or August with the roiling thunderstorms. I lived in the area for only two years until I was 5, but that landscape shaped me then—and still now whenever my mind needs a big expansive view. Then there are the San Gabriel Mountains. They are a magnificent backdrop to the Arboretum—a sheer face brown, craggy, rocky and, astonishingly, green sometimes. As I gaze at the plants in the Arboretum the mountains soak into my mind. As Richard Schulhof, the garden’s CEO, says, what other Arboretum in America has such a great, borrowed landscape. We can see landscapes, paint landscapes, photograph landscapes and then we can read about landscapes. My passion is to share books that will help us understand our land and our place in it. That’s the essence of me as a book pusher and the guiding principle in the books I select for the monthly Reading the Western Landscape Book Club, which celebrates its third anniversary in February. When I was young, I soaked in information about plants but the learning didn’t create real meaning for me until as a docent I created themes and told stories about the plants— their evolution, place and importance to the land. My friend, a geologist at the Grand Canyon, and I chide each other about what makes the land. She says it’s the rocks; I say the plants. We are both right and it’s literature that helps us really know both. So I'm constantly on the lookout for the next good read that creates vivid images of a place or landscape that shape characters and plots. Of the books we've read in the three years, there are a few I would recommend again and again. If you haven't read James Galvin's, The Meadow (H. Holt, 1992) you are missing and horticultural literature. a poet's understanding of the history of a dryland meadow on the edges of Colorado and Wyoming. His language leaves you breathless. If you haven't read Keith Basso’s Wisdom Sits in Places (University of New Mexico Press, 1996) you don’t know, yet, the powerful and deep ties we can have to a specific place. Almost anything written by Susan Straight (we read Blacker than a Thousand Midnights (Hyperion, 1994) helps put you right in the Los Angeles milieu, more powerfully than such writers as Joan Didion who capture easily the intellect of a place and its people, but not its nature. When your reading engages your synapses as if you were moving through an environment it seems like the best possible read. @ —Susan C. Eubank is the Arboretum Librarian.

ANENY DEEILE THREAT fO-TREES Standing under a Brazilian pepper tree located in the water conservation garden I could see and feel a fine dust falling on me. It was frass, a sawdust-like powder that came from small holes peppering the bark. A fungus appeared to be attacking the tree. The reason for all of this? A beetle, newly discovered in Southern California, that is considered a substantial threat to both our urban and wild forests. Called the Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer (Euwallacea sp.), the first word in the insect’s name means “many plants,” an apt description for this species of ambrosia beetle which attacks a wide range of trees, including several important native plants. Smaller than a grain of rice, this borer infects trees with the fungus (Fusarium sp.) as it drills into the wood. The insect cannot digest wood so it feeds on the fungus instead: a symbiotic relationship between the beetle and fungus. The beetle even has a special organ called a mycangia which harbors the spores of the plant-tissue rotting fungi in its head. The term “ambrosia” is used to describe the fungus’s ability to concentrate its nutrients (and its spores) at the surfaces of beetle tree galleries where they provide a ready source of nutrition for the insects and their offspring. The Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer (PSHB) was first observed in 2003 at Whittier Narrows in a trap designed to monitor wood boring pests. It was first mistakenly identified as the Tea Shot Hole Borer (Euwallacea fornicatus) a pest of tea (Camellia sinensis). Since then, PSHB infestation has grown, now encompassing parts of both Los Angeles and Orange counties. The fungus is destructive to about half of the avocado varieties grown locally and to a growing list of ornamental and some native trees including, unfortunately, the coast live oak. Last August, a conference at the Arboretum drew beetle experts locally, nationally and from around the world. The conclusions of that conference: - The beetle and its fungus appeared to be a substantial threat to the urban forest, avocado industry, and natural forests. - Very few tools for the management of these beetles are yet available. - We are in the early stages of studying the PSHB in California as of late August; work started in Israel two to three years ago. - It is extremely important that felled trees and their trimmings remain at the same location where they have grown. Transporting firewood spreads the pests.

WINTER/SPRING 2013 © 2010 Museum Associates/LACMA at LACMA: m Garden ] al Robert Irwin P Photo of Photo by Frank McDonough Growing fruit trees in one’s back yard seems to be the norm rather than the exception in Southern California. Subtropical and borderline tropical species perform very well here. However, temperate, often deciduous species, such as apples, pears, cherries, plums, peaches and apricots can be somewhat more challenging because they don’t receive enough chill hours during our warm winters. One chill hour is equivalent to one hour below 45°F. Accumulation of hours typically begins in November and continues until nighttime temperatures are above the threshold. Chilling is typically required to meet a dormancy threshold; if a tree does not meet the minimum hours of chilling it will flower and fruit poorly. Fruit trees in Northern California can accumulate from 800 to 1,500 chill hours, while trees in Southern California are likely to amass only 100 to 400. Species and cultivars with low-chill requirements are considered “low-chill” selections. Chilling requirements and tolerances were a major consideration when we selected and sited the trees in the redesigned Garden for All Seasons. The north end of this garden is about 9 feet higher in elevation than the south end. This gradient allows cold air to move, or drain, down slope making the north end warmer and the south end colder during winter. Hence, borderline tropical and subtropical selections were planted north of the pond (arbitrary centra dividing line) and cold tolerant and cold requiring species and cultivars were selected for south of the pond. We focused on trees requiring less than 250 to 300 chill hours. All of these considerations were painstakingly accounted for so that we could provide the broadest possible palette of fruit trees, some of which are described here. Casimiroa sapota ‘Suebelle’ (white sapote); a semi-dwarf evergreen selection to about 12’; as easy to grow as citrus; fruits have custard-like flavor and texture; lends itself to being blended with milk or ice cream to make shakes. Eugenia uniflora ‘Vermillion’ (Surinam cherry); an janead evergreen selection; can produce up to five crops a year; hardy to 28°F with virtually no chill requirement; highly glossy, deeply ribbed fruits change from lime green to yellow to orange and finally to vermillion when ripe. ‘ffi f ; FRUIT TREES IN THE GARDEN FOR ALL SEASONS Above: To the north of the garden, borderline tropical and subtropical fruit trees find a home because the winter temperature there is warmer than in the south end. Feijoa sellowiana ‘Likvard’s Pride’ (pineapple guava); a rare selection with fruits more than 3-inches long and average weight of 3 ounces and up to 5 ounces. Mangifera indica ‘Alphonso’ (mango); a semi-dwarf evergreen selection; considered to be one of the most flavorful and famous mangoes in India; flesh is virtually fiber-less. Morus macroura ‘King White’ (white mulberry); easy- to-grow variety that produces fruit precociously; fruits are candy-like and so sweet they often measure off the Brix scale for sugar content; flavor reminiscent to honeydew melon. Myrciaria cauliflora (jaboticaba); slow-growing tree to 12’ with attractive, flaking, mottled bark; performs equally well in a container or in the ground; may produce fruits to three times per year; spherical, dark purple to black, plum-like fruits are borne on the tree branches and trunks; fruits are sweet with a little acid aftertaste, excellent for jams and jellies. Prunus avium ‘Minnie Royal’ (low-chill sweet cherry [pollen source]) & P. aviurn ‘Royal Lee’ (low-chill sweet cherry [fruiting cultivar]); planted as a pair to insure pollination; this adaptable cherry has the lowest chill requirement of any cherry making it an excellent choice for Southern California; tree can be maintained at 10' and begins fruiting at about 5’; fruits have excellent flavor and very high sugar content.

Imagine a crescent moon-shaped belt of springs stretching from La Canada across Pasadena and down toward Arcadia essentially ending at the Raymond Hill fault, which runs under the Arboretum. Rain and snow falling in the San Gabriel Mountains for tens of thousands of years built this underground reservoir diked by geological features, which did not allow the water to spread out readily across the San Gabriel Valley. The result was three small lakes: Baldwin Lake, another lake that was drained at the site of what is now Lacy Park in San Marino, and a third lake, the location of which seems somewhat uncertain now. The aquifer also fed innumerable small springs and creeks. This water as well as the vegetation and animals it supported made the area verdant and lively even in the late summer and fall, a striking contrast to the surrounding areas. Waterfowl stopped at the lake as part of their migratory route. The sheer number of them that must have filled the area at certain times of the year is almost unimaginable. The water attracted game and early Native Americans, who built the Tongva village of Aleupkigna on the site of the Arboretum as well as other villages on the Ys ; Raymond Basin aquifer.

A shrewd investor, he understood that land without water was worthless and that fertile land with abundant water was very valuable indeed and would be even moreso in the future. His interests were in agriculture, raising thoroughbred race horses and in founding a new community. The area around the lake was made into a pleasure park or a private arboretum both to show what the land could do and for Baldwin’s enjoyment. The lake was dredged and became both a reservoir as well as an ornamental feature in a Victorian garden landscape. Lined with field stream boulders and equipped with a rustic style boat house, the lake became a perfect mirror for the Queen Anne Cottage, drooping willows and the San Gabriel Mountains in the distance. No doubt it also was used for swimming, fishing and just cooling off in a hot summer. Visitor descriptions of the site in the late 19th Century note its idyllic quality, noisy frogs and, in one instance, state the lake depth as 17 feet. By the time the Arboretum was founded in 1948, the lake had experienced a period of neglect, with overgrown vegetation that appealed to film location scouts. It served as a tropical lagoon for Tarzan movies, and a couple of installments in the Bing Crosby-Bob Hope “Road” series, and many other films. Springs still feed Baldwin Lake but not enough to keep it full year around. The water is now supplemented by runoff from the irrigation in the Arboretum and the neighboring suburb’s storm drains, as well as potable water piped in by the Arboretum. According to weather in any given year, the lake can get bigger, or shrink to a large puddle. Last December the fortunes of Baldwin Lake took a highly positive turn with the award of an $111,000 grant from The Dextra Baldwin McGonagle Foundation. The grant enables the creation of a “Cultural Landscape and Treatment Plan’ that will guide future decisions for the lake and other historical features, based upon the input of historians, preservation specialists, and educators. We express our tremendous thanks for this generous * Sadly bank erosion and silt have filled the lake to the point where its average depth is now about two feet. This means that the water cannot support fish species other than carp and catfish, which can tolerate elevated summer water temperatures and the associated depressed oxygen levels. All the same, a variety of water birds are only too happy to dine on them and still come to the lake with a surprising number of other bird species. However, the lake is only a shadow of what it could be in terms of biodiversity and as the charming Victorian piece of ornamental water it once was. For the Arboretum, restoring Baldwin Lake as an ecologically healthy body of water and premier scenic resource is an important priority. This past fall, we began work with consulting hydrologists and engineers to better understand the lake and its needs.
