  • Description Of NC7 Ornamental Trials: The NC-7 Regional Ornamental Plant Trials, began in 1954 through the efforts of a small group of dedicated horticulturists under the leadership of Professor S.A. McCrory of South Dakota State College (now University). The north central United States is a region of climatic extremes, and many parts of the region have alkaline soils that developed under grasslands. Because of these conditions, the diversity found in commercially available woody plants adapted to the area is less than that found in most other parts of our nation. The NC-7 Regional Ornamental Plant Trials were started with the ultimate goal of expanding the range of useful plants in the nursery trade. The emphasis in this program has been placed on detailed, long-term evaluations at a broad range of sites rather than on promotion of new plants. The NC-7 Trials rely on a network of horticultural cooperators located at sites scattered across the Central United States. Cooperators establish plantings, observe and evaluate the plants through the seasons, and prepare performance reports one, five, and ten years after planting. These reports are sent to the North Central Regional Plant Introduction Station (NCRPIS) in Ames, Iowa where they are recorded. Because of the broad range of environments found among the trial sites, it is unusual for any particular trial plant to perform well at a majority of the sites, making system-wide releases difficult. However, when plants perform especially well at sites, the NCRPIS Horticulturist assists trial site cooperators in introducing the new plants, with any official releases initiated through the cooperators' institutions rather than through the Plant Introduction Station.
  • Summary Of The Ten Year Performance: Five sites evaluated this accession through the 5-year period, four sites evaluated the accession through the 10-year period. The three sites that reported on foliage noted it was clean all season. The Chanhassen, MN site noted slight yellow fall color. The plants failed to bloom in Absaraka (Fargo), ND. The Madison, WI, Glencoe, IL, and Chanhassen sites reported showy flower displays. The Chanhassen and Madison sites noted overall performance to be excellent. The Waseca, MN, Absaraka, and Glencoe sites reported medium performance for the accession. Three sites (Glencoe, Chanhassen, and Madison) recommend the accession. The Glencoe site noted that the accession was not as ornamental as Asian species but that the repeat flowering was a plus. The Chanhassen site reported the species the accession belonged to appeared to be the hardiest of the wisterias although it still suffered some dieback in severe winters. The Madison site reported excellent flower display and that the species appeared to be the hardiest of the Wisterias. The Waseca and Absaraka sites questioned the accessions performance and did not recommend it one way or the other. The Waseca site's plants were as yet too small to assess due to mower damage. The Absaraka site needed more evaluation time as the accession had yet to bloom and was of questionable hardiness.
