UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA LANDSCAPE PLANT SHRUB  AND VINE IRRIGATION TRIAL - PLANT RATING FIELD DAY
You are invited to participate in the Field Day on October 30, 2024 from 7:00 am - 11:00 am at the Campus Ag Center in Tucson to rate shrubs and vines in the University of Arizona Landscape Plant Irrigation Trial. This trial evaluates plant material to identify low water-use plants for Arizona. Plants are evaluated over a three-year period, are irrigated regularly during the first summer after planting, with performance assessment occurring over several differing irrigation treatments during the second and third year. To ensure our evaluations are representative of industry opinions and preferences we would like to invite you to evaluate our plant material during our ratings event in 2024. At this event we have two trials, shrubs and vines. Evaluation of the shrubs is for the second year of irrigation treatments, evaluation for the vines is for the first irrigation treatment year and will be continued in 2025.
Once you RSVP for October 30, 2024, we will provide detailed directions the week before the event. Participation entails recording your aesthetic preferences for one individual shrub or vine per treatment for each species/cultivar, providing the opportunity to evaluate the performance of the species across all treatments without rating the whole field. The ratings for the shrubs take about 45 - 60 minutes, the ratings for the vines take about 25-40 minutes to complete and participants may arrive any time between 7:00 am to 10:00 am. Participation is voluntary.

The ratings for the shrubs take about 45 - 60 minutes, the ratings for the vines take about 25-40 minutes to complete and participants may arrive any time between 7:00 am to 10:00 am.

Space is limited, please RSVP here<https://uarizona.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eKD2gDBhqLqcljE>. A reminder along with a map to the site will be sent before the event.

Please pass this invitation to others who may be interested in participating.
