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 in 1988 by the USDA-ARS Natural Resources Conservation Service, Big Flats Plant Materials Center, Corning, NY in cooperation with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Evaluated at the Big Flats PMC alongside 42 other accessions from the northeastern United States. 'Ruby' was selected for its outstanding layering ability, geen stems in summer followed by bright red stems in fall/winter, white flowers and cream colored fruits and its uniform, rounded growth habit. Shrub to 6-10 feet with ascending outside stems. Useful for steambank protection due to the tendancy for side branches to root by layering. It preforms best on soils that are moist, somewhat poorly drained, moderately acidic to neutral, and in areas that have medium to coarse textured soils. It is tolerant to some shade but not to droughty conditions. Originally obtained in 1975 from a single, native plant growing near Painted Post, NY.

  • 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.
