Plants for Planting Manual: The Plants for Planting Manual (here) has been updated, transmittal 10/2012-13, to revise entries for Aesculus and Schlumbergera. Revisions, indicated by a black change bar in the margin of each revised page, are as follows:
- Page 4-15: Deleted separate entries for Aesculus californica & A. hippocastanum for Phytopthora ramorum since Aesculus spp. are regulated by a more restrictive Federal Order
- Page 4-391: Added a link to Schlumbergera
