  • 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: Nine sites evaluated this accession through the 5-year period; seven sites reported on plants through the 10-year period.a The Ames site noted yellowish fall color; the Madison site reported orange fall color.a The Absaraka, Carrington, and Madison sites reported showy flower displays.a The Ft. Collins and Ames sites reported average flower displays; the Orono and Chanhassen sites reported the flower display to be dull.a The Madison site reported showy fruit display; all other sites reported average to dull fruit displays.a Five sites reported some foliar damage including powdery mildew (Absaraka-Fargo, ND in wet years), leaf scorch (Ames, IA), late summer chlorosis (Absaraka), bleaching in full sun (Carrington, ND), and late summer leaf scab (Chanhassen and Waseca, MN).a The Ft. Collins, CO, Orono, ME, and Madison, WI sites reported clean foliage all season.a Four sites (Ft. Collins, Ames, Absaraka, and Carrington) reported overall performance to be medium.a Three sites reported overall performance to be excellent (Grand Rapids, MN, Waseca, MN, and Madison).a All eight sites that evaluated this accession through the 10-year period recommended it.a Winter hardiness, growth, clean yellow-green foliage, and form were all cited as good ornamental features.a The Ft. Collins site did note that the flowers were less showy against the yellow-green foliage in comparison to green-leaved ninebarks.a The Chanhassen site noted declining foliage quality as the season progressed.a The Ames site noted some leaf scorch as a qualifier to its recommendation, and the Absaraka site noted that pruning upkeep was required.a The Madison, WI site reported the accession had superior leaf color to other similar cultivars.a The Grand Rapids site noted that, for those who like shrubs with yellow-green foliage, this accession was a good plant to consider. 1999.
