Accomplishments
Blythe, E.K., W. Dunwell, E. Bush, J.W. Adelberg, M. Arnold, R. Bracy, Y. Chen, D. Fare, W. Klingeman, P. Knight, G. Knox, A.V. LeBude, J. Lindstrom, A.X. Niemiera, A. Owings, J. Robbins, J.

Gary Knox has a paper on 'Jon Jon' magnolia in the SNA proceedings from the January 2012 meeting:
Knox, G.W., J. Lindstrom, T. Ranney, E. Bush, A. Owings, W. Dunwell, and R. Beeson. 2012. 'Jon Jon' magnolia: A late-flowering deciduous magnolia recommended for zones 6b to 8b in the southeastern U.S. Proc. Southern Nursery Assn. Res. Conf., 57th Annu. Rpt. p. 219-224.
Thirteen concluding reports have been written for plants introduced into this evaluations program.
Eight states provided state reports on their universities and programs.
Four new plants were approved for evaluation.
Planning for the 2013 Symposium was initiated.
Renewal plans for this project were completed.
Impacts
- Forty-three taxa have been or are being evaluated with final reports completed for 13.
- A new website, hosted by the Louisiana State University AgCenter (www.lsuagcenter.com/en/administration/about_us/ professional_organizations/sera_ieg_27/) has been established to provide information on current and historical efforts of our group.
- This group fills a need between traditional plant introduction programs at botanical gardens or nurseries by examining some of the plants that fall outside of the traditional means that, although lesser-known, may be quite worthy of use in the landscape for specific regions.
- This group provides regional, non-partisan data for potential commercial adoption of promising plant material.
