Accession Group(s)
Group name: NRCS Conservation Plant Releases
Note: These are accessions released by the USDA-NRCS Plant Materials Centers. Accessions may represent germplasm that is of wild origin and has not been altered; germplasm that is of wild origin but developed (F1 or F2) by utilizing numerous germplasms from across a similar ecoregion; or germplasm of cultivated origin. Releases are selections with superior performance.

Narrative
Released by the USDA NRCS Plant Materials Center, Manhattan, KS. Multiple use conservation plant: windbreaks, cover on droughty soils, screens from noise and eyesores, wildlife food and cover, ornamental on highways and parks and as snow entrapment plant. Grows to a height of 10 feet with orange to red fall color with orange red fruits in fall. Drought tolerant. Initial evaluation at Manhattan consisted of 20 accessions representing native collections from Wyoming, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma. 'Konza' exhibited the least amount of leaf rust and foliar insect damage.

  • 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: Eleven trial sites evaluated this accession through the 5-year evaluation period; eight sites reported on living plants for the entire 10-year period. Eight sites reported that the foliage of this accession was clean all season, the Carrington, ND site reported slight damage from 2,4-D, and the Durham, NH site reported rust on leaf tips. Three North Dakota sites and the Chanhassen, MN site reported moderate-to-severe winter injury to current year's growth or to the snow line. The Ames, IA site reported good fall color. Of ten sites commenting on recommendations, six sites recommended 'Konza' citing dense, compact growth, lack of major problems, plant texture and foliage, and uniformity of habit. Three sites, Wichita, KS, Carrington, ND and Durham, NH, did not recommend 'Konza' citing poor plant form, leggy appearance, and/or defoliation from rust. The Chanhassen, MN site found the accession questionable in performance noting that a large amount of dead wood was present but the causes of this were unknown. 1996.
