Executive Summary

A role of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Plant Materials Program is to 

select conservation plants and develop innovative planting technology to solve the nation’s most 

important resource concerns. Since 1972, the Bismarck Plant Materials Center (PMC) has 

established Off-Center Evaluation Plantings to identify woody plants with the potential to address 

a wide range of resource concerns. Initially, the main purpose was to find additional plants suited 

to preventing soil erosion and controlling sediment on agricultural land. Other resource concerns 

that have gradually received more emphasis are:

• Wildlife habitat

• Riparian plantings 

• Plants for urban areas 

• Outreach

• Invasive species/native species

Plants evaluated by the PMC have the potential to provide a vegetative solution to many resource 

concerns. This report summarizes the woody plants evaluated at four sites in western North 

Dakota and South Dakota. A total of 135 species of trees and shrubs have been evaluated. 

This report includes many of the trees and shrubs which performed poorly. For most of the 

species, only a limited number of accessions were evaluated. Failure of individual accessions 

was often affected by adverse weather conditions. Other accessions, planted in years of adequate 

moisture, might have had better survival. In some other cases, soils were a limiting factor. 

Failure at this site does not necessarily mean that a particular species should not be planted.

Introduction

The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), formerly the Soil Conservation Service 

(SCS), has been designing tree plantings in the Northern Great Plains since the 1930s. A role of 

the NRCS Plant Materials Program has been to select conservation plants and develop innovative 

planting technology to solve the nation’s most important resource concerns. Since 1954, the 

Bismarck Plant Materials Center (PMC) has identified hardy accessions (seed sources) for a wide 

range of resource concerns. Initially, tree and shrub species were planted for soil erosion and 

sediment control on agricultural land. Over the years, the PMC has addressed other resource 

concerns, including wildlife habitat, riparian plantings, urban areas, outreach, native species, and

invasive species. Most of the tree and shrub species evaluated by the PMC have the potential to 

provide vegetative solutions to many resource concerns. 

In 1972, the PMC planted large numbers of different tree and shrub species in Off-Center 

Evaluation Plantings (OCEP) in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota. The first planting 

made in the western Dakotas was at the Sweet Briar Recreation Area in Morton County, North 

Dakota, in 1972. In the late 1970s, three additional plantings were started at the Dickinson 

Research Extension Center, the Williston Research Extension Center, and on the USDA Forest 

Service Buffalo Gap National Grassland near Cottonwood, South Dakota. The location of these 

plantings is shown in Figure 1. 

Sweet Briar Recreation Area

Location 

This site is an arboretum on the west side of Sweet Briar Recreation Area in Morton County, 17 

miles west and three miles north of Mandan, North Dakota. The legal description is the SW1/4 

SE1/4 sec. 4, T. 139 N, R. 84 W. 

Cooperators 

Beginning in 1972, the NRCS PMC staff and Morton County Parks established trees and shrubs. 

In the early years, the planting site was maintained by Elmer ‘Buck’ Worthington, a retired SCS 

woodland conservationist. Duncan Warren maintained the plots after Worthington retired. 

Major Land Resource Area

The site is located in Major Land Resource Area 54, Rolling Soft Shale Plain. This moderately 

dissected rolling plain is underlain by calcareous shale and sandstones. Strongly dissected areas 

of local relief or badland topography border major streams and valleys in some areas. The 

elevation is 1,800 to 3,100 feet. Sixty percent of the area is rangeland.

Soils

The soil is a Stady loam. The Stady series consists of deep, well-drained soils formed in loamy 

sediments moderately deep over sand and gravel on outwash plains and stream terraces. This 

series is in North Dakota Windbreak Suitability Group 6. Generally, this soil series is poorly 

suited for windbreaks and other types of woody plantings. Though the soils are quite shallow in 

the south half of the planting, a dense shelterbelt on the west side provides excellent protection to 

the various accessions planted by the PMC. 

Climate

The precipitation at the Sweet Briar site is similar to the Bismarck-Mandan average of 

approximately 16 inches. The mean temperature is 41.2 degrees F. The January mean 

temperature is 8 degrees F, while the July mean temperature is near 70 degrees F. 

Plant Performance

In the spring of 1972, 16 different species of trees and shrubs were planted. The purpose of the 

planting was to establish an outdoor classroom for local students. New accessions of woody 

plants were added until 1987. A complete list of all accessions and the year of planting is listed 

in Table 1. Accessions that died or were removed are marked (d). Figure 2 is a map showing 

the accessions remaining in the planting in 1988. 

This site has been well maintained by the Morton County Park Board. Many of the tree and shrub 

accessions have continued to flourish. Accessions that continue to perform well through 2008 are 

ND-674 bur oak, ND-1030 buckeye, ND-686 Pekin lilac, ‘McDermand’ Ussurian pear, and 

several accessions of hackberry.

Dickinson Research Extension Center

Location 

The planting site is located on the west side of Dickinson, at the Research Extension Center. The 

legal description is NE1⁄4 sec. 5, 139 N., R. 96 W. in Stark County, North Dakota. 

Cooperators 

The NRCS PMC staff and staff of the Research Extension Center worked together to establish 

this planting. In the early years, Tom Conlon, the station superintendent, helped the planting get 

off to a good start. The staff at the Research Extension Center continues to support and maintain

the planting. 

Major Land Resource Area

The site is located in Major Land Resource Area 54, 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. 

Soils

The soil type at the site is a Parshall sandy loam. The Parshall series consists of deep, welldrained soils formed in fine sandy loam alluvium on terraces and outwash plains and in upland 

swales. This soil is in North Dakota Windbreak Suitability Group 5. Erosion hazard is serious. 

In the dry years of 1990 and 1991, a cover crop was maintained to prevent soil erosion.

Climate

The average rainfall in Dickinson is approximately 16.4 inches per year. The mean annual 

temperature is 40.6 degrees F. The mean January temperature is 9.3 degrees F, while the hottest 

month is July, with a mean temperature of 68.6 degrees F. In July 2008, there was one day in 

which the temperature was above 110 degrees. 

Plant Performance

Since 1978, a total of 195 accessions from 113 different species have been planted. Currently, 66 

species are being evaluated. The map in Figure 3 shows the species currently being evaluated. 

In the years when the precipitation was average to above average, new plantings became well 

established. In the years of below average moisture, new plants had difficulty surviving on the 

sandy loam. Dry years often were combined with high summer temperatures, which put new 

seedlings under a lot of stress. Some of the trees which have done well at Dickinson include 

Siberian larch, white poplar, ponderosa pine, honeysuckle, and ‘Homestead’ hawthorn. A 

complete list of accessions planted at Dickinson is shown in Table 1. Site maintenance by the

staff of the Research Extension Center has been excellent.

Williston Research Extension Center

Location 

The planting site is located one mile west of Williston, at the Williston Research Extension 

Center. The legal description is NE1⁄4 sec. 25, T. 154 N., R. 102 W. in Williams County. 

Cooperators 

The PMC staff began working with the Williston Experiment Station and the Williston field 

office in 1975. In 1975, Marc Vrem, District Conservationist in the Williston field office, 

planned a tree planting at the Experiment Station, using accessions received from the PMC. A 

test planting to the south of the 1975 planting, was established by the PMC with the assistance of 

Quentin Johnson. 

Major Land Resource Area

The site is located in Major Land Resource Area 53A, Dark Brown Glaciated Plain. Most soils 

are derived from calcareous glacial till. Elevation is 1,500 to 3,000 feet. The gently rolling plain 

includes some areas of kames and moraines that have irregular topography. Forty percent of the 

area is rangeland.

Soils

The soil type is a Williams loam. The Williams series consists of deep, well-drained, moderately 

slow or slowly permeable soils formed in calcareous glacial drift on uplands. This soil is in 

Windbreak Suitability Group 3. If moisture is conserved, these soils are well suited to all types of 

windbreak and other plantings. 

Williston Off-Center Evaluation Planting in 1988

Climate

The average annual precipitation at Williston is 13.8 inches. The average mean temperature is 

40.5 degrees F. The average January temperature is 7.6 degrees F, while the average July 

temperature is 69.8 degrees F.

Plant Performance

The windbreak planted in 1975 provided excellent protection for the trial planted in 1979. A 

complete list of accessions planted in 1979 is included in Table 1. Seventy-five percent of the 

accessions planted were conifers. No additional trees were planted after 1979. Figure 4 shows 

the accessions remaining in 1988. The planting was evaluated by the PMC until 1993. Most of 

the trees planted in 1979 were still alive when the study ended in 1993. The best performing trees 

in 1993 were several accessions of Scots pine from Greece and Turkey, as well as an accession of 

Norway spruce. The trees have been maintained by the Williston Research Extension Center

staff.

Cottonwood Off-Center Evaluation Planting

Location 

This study was 1.2 miles west of Cottonwood, South Dakota. The legal description is NE1⁄4 

NW1⁄4 NE1⁄4 sec. 14, T. 1 S., R. 18 E., Jackson County, South Dakota. 

Cooperators 

The PMC staff established this planting in cooperation with the USDA, U.S. Forest Service, 

Buffalo Gap National Grassland, Cottonwood, South Dakota, and the NRCS field office at 

Kadoka, South Dakota. 

Tom Coleman, District Conservationist, 

measures tree height at Cottonwood OCEP

Major Land Resource Area

The site is located in Major Land Resource Area 63A, Northern Rolling Pierre Shale Plain. 

These areas are nearly level to rolling and have long smooth slopes and a well-defined dendritic 

drainage system. River and creek valleys have smooth floors and steep walls. Elevation is 1,300 

to 3,000 feet. In most years, precipitation is inadequate for maximum plant growth.

Soils

The soil types are Kyle clay and Cactusflat silty clay. The Kyle series consists of deep, welldrained soils formed in clay sediments weathered from clay shales. It occurs on uplands, 

colluvial fans, and terraces. The Cactusflat series consists of deep, well-drained soils formed in 

sodium enriched silty sediments on foot slopes, terraces, uplands, and alluvial fans. 
11

Kyle clay is in Conservation Tree and Shrub Group (CTSG) 4CC. Cactusflat silty clay is in 

CTSG 4C. High clay content and water availability influence the selection of tree and shrub 

species suitable for these soils.

Climate

The mean annual precipitation at Cottonwood, South Dakota is 16.7 inches. The mean 

temperature is 46.7 degrees F. The mean January temperature is 19.1 degrees F, while the July 

temperature is 74.7 degrees F. 

Plant Performance

The PMC staff began planting trees and shrubs in 1979. Figure 5 shows the layout of the plots 

and the accessions surviving in 1989 at Cottonwood. New accessions were last added to the 

planting in 1996. The last evaluations were in 1998. A complete list of accessions in the planting 

is included in Table 1. Animal and insect damage and exposure to wind, hail, cold, and weed 

competition reduced performance of most of the plants. Russian almond was one of the few 

species which survived on the heavy soils. Other trials at Cottonwood included various tree 

shelters and fabric and terra-sorb hydrogel. The plots were maintained by the Jackson County 

Soil Conservation District.
