Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Photinia plant named `Colango`, characterized by its upright and somewhat outwardly spreading plant form; vigorous and freely branching plant habit; short internodes; sharply serrated leaf margins; shiny dark red young foliage; undulating dark green mature foliage; and long-lasting red leaf color.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Photinia, botanically known as Photinia×fraseri, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Colango.
The new Photinia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventors in San Antonio, Tex. The objective of the breeding program was to create new Photinias with darker leaf color, longer-lasting red leaf color, better vigor, and better tolerance to high temperatures. The new Photinia originated from a self-pollination of the commercial Photinia×fraseri cultivar Birmingham (not patented).
The cultivar Colango was discovered and selected by the Inventors as a single plant within a population of 8,000 progeny plants in a controlled environment in San Antonio, Tex., in July, 1995. The selection of this plant was based on its desirable plant form, leaf shape and unique foliage coloration.
Asexual reproduction of the new Photinia by terminal cuttings taken in a controlled environment in San Antonio, Tex., has shown that the unique features of this new Photinia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Photinia have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength, light intensity, nutrition and water status without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Colango`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Colango` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Upright and somewhat outwardly spreading plant form.
2. Vigorous, dense and bushy plants that are freely branching with short internodes.
3. Sharply serrated dark red young foliage and undulating dark green mature foliage.
4. Long-lasting red leaf color.
Compared to plants of the Photinia cultivar Colmont, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. application Ser. No. 09/129,441, plants of the new Photinia are shorter, less upright and more outwardly spreading, more vigorous and have broader leaves.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventors in San Antonio, Tex., plants of the new Photinia differ from plants of the parent cultivar, Birmingham, and plants of the commercial Photinia×fraseri cultivar Red Robin in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Photinia are more upright than plants of the cultivars Birmingham and Red Robin.
2. Plants of the new Photinia are more freely branching after pruning than plants of the cultivars Birmingham and Red Robin.
3. Plants of the new Photinia have shorter internodes than plants of the cultivars Birmingham and Red Robin.
4. Plants of the new Photinia have darker-colored foliage than plants of the cultivars Birmingham and Red Robin.
5. Plants of the new Photinia have longer-lasting red foliage color than plants of the cultivars Birmingham and Red Robin.
A detailed comparison of the cultivars Colango, Birmingham and Red Robin appears in Chart A at the end of the specification.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Photinia, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical containerized plant of `Colango`. Foliage colors in the photograph may appear different from the actual colors due to light reflectance.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The following observations, measurements, values, and comparisons describe plants grown in San Antonio and Keller, Tex., under outdoor conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions. Plants used for the description were grown in 25-cm containers and were approximately one year old.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
