Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Magnolia plant named ‘Southern Charm’, characterized by its compact, upright, narrow pyramidal, and uniform plant habit; freely-branching habit; upright lateral branch orientation; dark green leaves; and rapid growth rate.
Description
Magnolia grandiflora.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Magnolia tree, botanically known as Magnolia grandiflora, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Southern Charm’.
The new Magnolia originated from a cross made by the Inventors of two unidentified selections of Magnolia grandiflora, not patented. The new Magnolia was selected as a single plant from the resulting progeny by the Inventors in a controlled environment in Seneca, S.C., in 1985.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by stem cuttings taken in Seneca, S.C. since July, 1998, has shown that the unique features of this new Magnolia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Trees of the cultivar Southern Charm have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and culture such as temperature, light intensity, daylength, water status, and/or fertilizer rate or type without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Southern Charm’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Southern Charm’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Compact, upright, narrow pyramidal, and uniform plant habit.
2. Freely-branching habit, dense trees.
3. Upright lateral branch orientation.
4. Dark green leaves.
5. Rapid growth rate.
Trees of the new Magnolia differ from trees of the parent selections primarily in plant form.
Trees of the Magnolia can be compared to trees of the Magnolia cultivar Little Gem, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventors in Seneca, S.C., trees of the new Magnolia differed from trees of the cultivar Little Gem in the following characteristics:
1. Trees of the new Magnolia are more compact and more narrow than trees of Little Gem.
2. Trees of the new Magnolia are more freely branching and are denser than trees of Little Gem.
3. Trees of the new Magnolia have stronger and more upright lateral branches than trees of Little Gem.
4. Trees of the new Magnolia start flowering during the third year's growth whereas trees of Little Gem start flowering during the first year's growth.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Magnolia.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical tree of ‘Southern Charm’.
The photograph on the seond sheet comprises a close-up view of typical flowering branches of ‘Southern Charm’.
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. The photographs and detailed botanical description were taken in August on trees grown for four years in 75-liter containers in an open production nursery in Seneca, S.C. with average day temperatures of 33° C. and average night temperatures of 20° C.
