Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Dogwood tree named ‘Gold Braid’, characterized by its upright pyramidal plant shape; unique yellow and green variegated foliage; long-lasting leaf variegation pattern; foliage that resists sunburning; and resistance to late-season spot Anthracnose.

Description

BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION
Cornus florida cultivar Gold Braid.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Dogwood tree, botanically known as Cornus florida, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Gold Braid’.
The new Dogwood was discovered by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Cairo, Ga., during 1994 as a chance seedling of two unidentified selections of Cornus florida.
Asexual reproduction of the new Dogwood by cuttings in a controlled environment in Tifton, Ga. since 1994, has shown that the unique features of this new Dogwood are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘Gold Braid’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength, light intensity, and water and nutritional status without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Gold Braid’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Gold Braid’ as a new and distinct Dogwood:
1. Upright pyramidal plant shape.
2. Unique yellow and green variegated foliage; leaf variegation pattern is relatively long-lasting and does not fade.
3. Foliage resists sunburning.
4. Resistant to late-season spot Anthracnose.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Tifton, Ga., trees of the new Dogwood differ from trees of the unidentified selections and from other known variegated Dogwood cultivars primarily in its longer-lasting leaf variegation pattern.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Dogwood, 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 Dogwood.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical tree of ‘Gold Braid’ during the summer.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of typical leaves of ‘Gold Braid’ during the summer.
The photograph on the third sheet comprises a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘Gold Braid’.
