Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Symphoricarpos plant named ‘Kolsweet’, characterized by its upright and outwardy spreading plant habit; medium green leaves; large light pink-colored fruits; and good postproduction longevity.

Description

BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION/CULTIVAR DESIGNATION
Symphoricarpos albus cultivar ‘Kolsweet’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Symphoricarpos plant, botanically known as Symphoricarpos albus, commercially used as cut stems with fruits, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Kolsweet’.
The new Symphoricarpos is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Den Hout, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to develop cut Symphoricarpos cultivars with attractive fruit coloration.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the Inventor in 1997 of two unidentified proprietary seedling selections, not patented. The cultivar ‘Kolsweet’ was discovered and selected by the Inventor in 1998 as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Den Hout, The Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction of the new Symphoricarpos by terminal cuttings taken at Boskoop, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Symphoricarpos are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Kolsweet’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Kolsweet’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Upright plant habit.
2. Medium green leaves.
3. Large light pink-colored fruits.
4. Good postproduction longevity.
Plants of the new Symphoricarpos differ from plants of the parent seedling selections primarily in growth habit and fruit coloration.
Plants of the new Symphoricarpos can be compared to plants of the Symphoricarpos cultivar ‘Mother of Pearl’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Boskoop, The Netherlands, plants of the new Symphoricarpos differed from plants of the cultivar ‘Mother of Pearl’ in the following characteristics:
1. Plant of the new Symphoricarpos were more upright than plants of the cultivar ‘Mother of Pearl’.
2. Leaves of plants of the new Symphoricarpos were more resistant to stress than leaves of plants of the cultivar ‘Mother of Pearl’.
3. Fruits of plants of the new Symphoricarpos developed later than fruits of plants of the cultivar ‘Mother of Pearl’.
4. Fruits of plants of the new Symphoricarpos were lighter pink in color than fruits of plants of the cultivar ‘Mother of Pearl’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Symphoricarpos, 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 Symphoricarpos.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Kolsweet’ with fruits.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet is a close-up view of upper surfaces of typical leaves of ‘Kolsweet’.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of typical fruits of ‘Kolsweet’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The new Symphoricarpos has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The aforementioned photographs, following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Boskoop, The Netherlands, in an outdoor nursery and under commercial production practices. Plants were about three years old and pruned annually. The photographs and description were taken during the summer when outdoor day temperatures ranged from 14 to 27° C. and day temperatures ranged from 7 to 12° C. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
