  • 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. For more information about the NC7 trials, see link at 'Other information about accession'.
  • Summary Of The Ten Year Performance: Seven out of eleven sites reported maintaining this accession through the 1-year trial period; five sites reported maintaining it through the 5-year trial period; and two sites located at Absaraka, ND and Chanhassen, MN reported maintaining it throughout the 10-year trial period. Plant loss was attributed to winter injury at Fairbanks, AK and Morris, MN, and plant injury was attributed to animal browsing at Absaraka, ND and Waseca, MN. Average plant height was 0.86m and 4.18m after the 5-year and 10-year trial periods, respectively. Average plant spread was 0.43m and 1.88m after the 5-year and 10-year trial periods, respectively. Foliage quality was rated as clean all season or slightly damaged. The Lincoln, NE site reported leaf tatters, decreasing the quality of foliage. Fall color was cited as good at Fort Collins, CO with the Absaraka, ND trial site documenting golden to orange fall colors. Flower and fruit evaluation data were not sufficient to report. No sites recommended this accession. However, the Absaraka, ND site mentioned that seed from this accession would be recommended as a reliable, hardy source for North Dakota, but pointed out that a hardier and more adaptable seed source may exist. 2002.
