Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Ensete plant characterized by striking strongly variegated red leaves and excellent vigor.

Description

Botanical denomination: Ensete ventricosum.
Variety designation: ‘Tandarra Rainbow’.
Parentage: Ensete ventricosum ‘Tandarra Red’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of, Ensete ventricosum, and known by the cultivar name of ‘Tandarra Rainbow’. The genus Ensete is a member of the family Musaceae. This cultivar occurred as a naturally occurring mutation in tissue culture of Ensete ventricosum ‘Tandarra Red’ (an unpatented plant) in a laboratory and was found planted out in the greenhouse in Canby, Oreg.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This new cultivar is unique and differs from its parent, Ensete ventricosum ‘Tandarra Red’, in having streaked sectorial variegation rather than no variegation. This variegation is very striking with its yellow and green shades combined with the dark red leaf edges, backs and main veins. The best comparison for variegation would be Musa×paradisiaca ‘Ae-Ae’ (an unpatented plant). The new cultivar has a similar variegation on a red rather than an all green background color.
This new cultivar has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (tissue culture). Each of the progeny exhibits identical characteristics to the parent plant. Asexual propagation by tissue culture using standard micropropagation techniques with terminal shoots, as done in Canby, Oreg., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. The present invention has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The photo shows a one-year-old Ensete ‘Tandarra Rainbow’ growing in a two gallon container in the warm greenhouse in June in Canby, Oreg.
 DETAILED PLANT DESCRIPTION
The following is a detailed description of the new cultivar based on observations of fifteen-month-old specimen in April 2009 growing in two gallon containers in a warm greenhouse in Canby, Oreg. This greenhouse is kept at 62 to 65 degrees F. minimum and 95 degrees F. highs. The color descriptions are all based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 5th edition.
