FIELD EVALUATION PLANTING: TECHNICAL REPORT
FIELD EVALUATION OF WOODY PLANT MATERIALS

There is a need to evaluate the performance of shrub and tree species/cultivars for windbreaks, wildlife, and recreational plantings under diverse soil and climatic conditions. To meet this need, field evaluation planting sites representative of the major land resource areas were located in the three states served by the PMC. These sites provide planting locations under long-term land tenure, for assemblies of trees and shrubs to be evaluated under uniform culture and management. New material can be added on an annual basis. Comparisons are then made with previously released cultivars and area of adaptation determined.

The objective is to assemble and evaluate woody plant materials for conservation use. Superior cultivars will be selected and released for increase by commercial nurseries.

The Natural Resources Conservation Service, Plant Materials Center, Bismarck, North Dakota, in cooperation with the NDSU, Dickinson Branch Experiment Station, Dickinson, North Dakota.

This project is located one mile west of Dickinson, North Dakota, on the NDSU Dickinson Branch Experiment Station. Legal description: NE 1/4 sec. 5, T. 139 N., R. 96 W., Stark County, North Dakota.

The site is located in Major Land Resource Area 054, Rolling Soft Shale Plain. This moderately dissected rolling plain is underlain by calcareous shales and sandstones. Strongly dissected areas of sharp local relief or badland topography border major streams and valleys in some areas. Elevation is 1,800 to 3,100 feet. Sixty percent of the area is rangeland.

The soil type is a Parshall fine sandy loam. The Parshall series consists of deep, well drained soils formed in fine, sandy loam alluvium on terraces and outwash plains and in upland shales. The surface layer and subsoil is dark grayish-brown fine sandy loam. The underlying material is dark grayish-brown fine sandy loam and loamy fine sand. Permeability is moderately rapid. The available water capacity is moderate. Organic matter is high and fertility is medium.

This soil is in North Dakota windbreak suitability group 5. Included in this group are nearly level to hilly soils of the Flaxton, Lihen, Livonia, Parshall, and Vebar series, among others. These are well-drained, loamy and sandy soils. They are suited to windbreak and other plantings, but selection of species is limited. Erosion hazard is serious. The moderate available water capacity is the main limitation.

For MLRA 054 the average annual precipitation is 13 to 19 inches; increasing from west to east for this semiarid area. Rainfall is highest from late spring to midsummer and very low during the rest of the year. Winter precipitation is snow. Average annual temperature is 40 to 45 degrees F. Average freeze-free period is 110 to 135 days. The plant hardiness zone is 4a, with an average annual minimum temperature of -30 to -20 degrees F.

Plots are not randomized or replicated but systematically arranged for ease of evaluation and demonstration purposes. The planting site is approximately 500 feet long and 200 feet wide. The area is divided into five blocks. Each block consists of single row, non-replicated plots. Each plot contains a minimum of 5 plants. Row length is 100 feet and spacing between rows is 20 feet. Block 1A contains primarily poplar accessions. Block 1B contains conifers. Block 2 contains shrubs and small trees. Block 3 contains medium sized trees. Block 4 contains tall trees. All trees are spaced ten feet within row and shrubs are spaced five feet within row. All rows run from west to east. Like species and standards of comparison are established in adjacent plots whenever possible.

Refer to Table DI-2 for a list of woody species planted from 1978 through 1995. Replacement stock is planted after establishment year if available.

No herbicide has been applied to any plot during year of establishment or in succeeding years. Weeds were controlled by clean cultivating between rows, within row, and in fallow areas. Four to six tillage operations were performed each year in the months of May through August. A minimum of hand hoeing was done to control weeds in rows.

Previous years: No animal repellent or insecticide was applied in 1978. In the fall 1979, an animal repellent, Arasan 50, was sprayed on fruit trees to discourage rodent damage.

1980-1981: On November 6, 1980 and October 29, 1981, Arasan 50 was applied to the trunks and lower limbs of fruit trees to deter rodents from damaging bark and cambium. Conifers also received this spray treatment to discourage animal browse. No insecticides were applied.

Each year, newly planted materials were watered with a portable tank. No water was added following year of establishment. During the drought years of 1988-1991 the trees were watered in the summer.

Extensive pruning was done in 1979-1980 to reshape trees damaged by animals. Dead trees and broken branches were cut and removed each year for sanitation. In 1988, some Russian olive accessions were treated with Tordon, using a hypo-hatchet, with unsuccessful results. In 1989, those treated accessions were cut down.

Previous years: Records of planting date, survival, vigor, canopy width, height, cold hardiness, animal damage, insect damage, disease symptoms, and unusual or outstanding features have been maintained since 1978 and are listed in Table DI-2.

Plant performance data was recorded in September 1994 and 1995. Not all data appears in this report.

Currently, 84 accessions of 51 species are under evaluation. This site is fairly well maintained by the Dickinson Experiment Station. Very little weed competition has occurred within row. A favorable microclimate is provided by surrounding shelter belts. This undoubtedly reduces exposure to extreme temperatures and winds and desiccation and winter injury. Annual rainfall amounts are similar to Bismarck. The drought years of 1988 and 1989 have severely hampered establishment and performance. With the continued dry weather in 1990 and 1991, the original windbreak of spruce planted on the border are dying. A number of planted accessions are also dying. The following accessions exhibit potential for further evaluation and use:
