Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Salix plant named ‘golden Sunshine’, characterized by its golden-colored spring foliage that matures to chartreuse-colored autumn foliage, and compact growth habit.
Description
Latin name of genus and species of plant claimed: Salix sachaliensis.
Variety denomination: ‘Golden Sunshine’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Salix plant botanically known as Salix sachalinensis and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Golden Sunshine’.
The new Salix cultivar is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation discovered in a controlled planting of the species Salix sachalinensis, not patented. The species Salix sachalinensis is characterized by its green-colored foliage and large rounded growth habit. The species Salix sachalinensis is a small tree growing to 6 m (20 feet) high, typically as a multi-trunk with a spreading growth habit. The plant is native to Japan including Shikoku, Honshu, and Hokkaido.
The new cultivar was discovered and selected as a single plant within a population of plants of Salix sachalinensis during January 2005 in a controlled environment at Iyo-city, Japan.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal stem cuttings since August 2005 at Iyo-city, Japan has demonstrated that the new cultivar reproduces true to type with all of the characteristics, as herein described, firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of such asexual propagation.
The following characteristics of the new cultivar have been repeatedly observed and can be used to distinguish ‘Golden Sunshine’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Salix plant:
-
- 1. Golden-colored spring foliage that matures to chartreuse-colored autumn foliage; and
- 2. Compact growth habit.
Plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the parent Salix sachalinensis species in foliage color and growth habit.
The only commercially available Salix sachalinensis cultivar known to the inventor, is the cultivar ‘Sekka’, not patented. Plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of ‘Sekka’ primarily in branch orientation as plants of ‘Sekka’ typically have twisted and contorted branches.
Plants of the parent species Salix sachalinensis are the most similar in comparison to the new cultivar. However, in comparison, plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of Salix sachalinensis in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new cultivar have a golden-colored spring foliage that matures to chartreuse-colored autumn foliage, while plants of the species have green foliage; and
- 2. Plants of the new cultivar exhibit compact growth habit as compared to the species.
The accompanying photographs show, as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in color illustrations of this type, typical foliage characteristics of the new cultivar. Colors in the photographs differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed description, which accurately describes the colors of ‘Golden Sunshine’. The plant illustrated was grown for approximately two years in an outdoor nursery in Iyo-city, Japan.
The new cultivar has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions to date. Accordingly, it is possible that the phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in the environment, such as temperature, light intensity, and day length, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The chart used in the identification of colors described herein is The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, 2001 edition, except where general color terms of ordinary significance are used. The color values were determined under natural light conditions in Iyo-city, Japan.
The following descriptions and measurements describe plants produced from cuttings and grown in a cultivated area of an outdoor nursery in Iyo-city Japan. The plant size and description are based on plants grown for approximately two years with day temperatures ranging from 8° C. to 31° C. (47° F. to 87° F.) and night temperatures ranging from 1° C. to 24° C. (34° F. to 75° F.)
