Abstract
A new cultivar of Berberis, ‘Orange Dream’, that is characterized by its small sized leaves that are gray-purple to brown in color and its upright, broadly spreading plant habit with branches arching.
Description
Botanical classification: Berberis thunbergii.
Cultivar designation: ‘Orange Dream’.
This application is with U.S. Plant Patent applications filed for cultivars derived from the same breeding program entitled Berberis Plant Named ‘Golden Dream’ (U.S. Plant application Ser. No. 13/506,337) and Berberis Plant Named ‘Red Dream’ (U.S. Plant application Ser. No. 13/506,332).
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Berberis thunbergii, and will be referred to hereafter by its cultivar name, ‘Orange Dream’. ‘Orange Dream’ is grown for use as a landscape shrub.
The new cultivar arose through an ongoing breeding project by the Inventor in Litomysl, Czech Republic with the objective of selecting new and unique cultivars of Berberis. ‘Orange Dream’ arose from open pollination in 2003 of an unnamed plant of Berberis thunbergii from the Inventors breeding program as the female parent. ‘Orange Dream’ was selected as a single unique plant from the resulting seedlings in 2005.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar was first accomplished by the Inventor by softwood stem cuttings in Litomysl, Czech Republic in 2007. It has been determined that the characteristics of this cultivar are stable and are reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the characteristics of the new cultivar, which in combination distinguish ‘Orange Dream’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Berberis.
-
- 1. ‘Orange Dream’ exhibits small sized leaves.
- 2. ‘Orange Dream’ exhibits foliage that is gray-purple to brown in color.
- 3. ‘Orange Dream’ exhibits on upright, broadly spreading plant habit with branches arching.
The female parent of ‘Orange Dream’ differs from ‘Orange Dream’ in having dark green leaves, a more open growth habit, and broader and larger leaves. ‘Orange Dream’ can be most closely compared to the cultivars ‘Golden Dream’, ‘Red Dream’ ‘Admiration’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 16,921), and ‘Aurea’ (not patented). ‘Golden Dream’ differs from ‘Orange Dream’ in having yellow-green leaves, a more compact plant habit, and branches that are upright rather than branching. ‘Red Dream’ differs from ‘Orange Dream’ in having leaves that are even more brown in color. ‘Admiration’ differs from ‘Orange Dream’ in having broader larger leaves that are gray-purple to orange-brown in color with thin yellow-green margins and in having a more compact dense plant habit. ‘Aurea’ differs from ‘Orange Dream’ in having yellow leaves and a more compact plant habit.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and distinct characteristics of the new Berberis. The photographs were taken of a plant two years in age as grown in a one-gallon container in Helden, The Netherlands.
The photograph in FIG. 1 provides a view of the plant habit of ‘Orange Dream’ and
The photograph in FIG. 2 provides a close-up view of the foliage of ‘Orange Dream’.
The 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 Berberis.
The following is a detailed description of two year-old plants of the new cultivar as grown in one-gallon containers in Heiden, The Netherlands. Plants were grown under average day temperatures of 15° C. and average night temperatures of 10° C. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, as it has not been tested under all possible environmental conditions. The color determination is in accordance with The 2007 R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
