  • 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: Thirteen out of seventeen sites reported maintaining this accession through the 1-year trial period; nine sites reported maintaining it through the 5-year trial period; and six sites located at North Platte, NE; Cincinnati, OH; Carrington, ND; Orono, ME; Madison, WI; and Glencoe, IL reported maintaining it throughout the 10-year trial period.� Plant loss/damage was attributed to winter injury at Orono, ME; Chanhassen, MN; Absaraka, ND; Carrington, ND; Madison, WI; and Cincinnati, OH.� In addition, plant damage occurring at Cincinnati, OH was attributed to large animal browsing.� Average plant height was 1.26m and 1.54m after the 5-year and 10-year trial periods, respectively.� Average plant spread was 1.40m and 1.30m after the 5-year and 10-year trial periods, respectively.� Foliage quality was rated as clean all season, except by Newark, OH which reported damage to chewing insects.� Little to no fall color was reported by any trial sites except Newark, OH, which reported bronze fall color.� Flowering occurred around mid-May at Cincinnati, OH, Durham, NH and Newark, OH; mid-June at Glencoe, IL and Morris, MN; and the first of July at Carrington, ND.� Five out of six trial sites rated the flowering effect as showy.� And its flowers have an attractive fragrance, which is very rare for this species.� Only the Carrington, ND site captured fruiting data, which peaked around mid-August.� The small inconspicuous fruiting capsules were persistent for approximately 75 days and were rated as dull.� Out of six trial sites, only the Cincinnati, OH and Glencoe, IL sites recommended this accession because of its manageable growth habit, flower color, and extended blooming season.� Other trial sites questioned this accessions� winter hardiness and indicated its performance as average for Weigela cultivars.� 2003.
