Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Thuja plant named ‘MonPin’, characterized by its compact and upright plant habit; pyramidal plant form; freely branching habit; dense and bushy form; developing leaves are golden yellow to light yellow green in color becoming darker green with development; and good winter hardiness.

Description

Botanical designation: Thuja standishii×Thuja plicata.
Cultivar denomination: ‘MonPin’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Thuja plant, botanically known as Thuja standishii×Thuja plicata, commonly known as Western Arborvitae and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘MonPin’.
The new Thuja plant is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of Thuja standishii×Thuja plicata ‘Green Giant’, not patented. The new Thuja plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single plant from within a population of plants of ‘Green Giant’ in May, 2007 in an outdoor nursery in Dayton, Oreg.
Asexual reproduction of the new Thuja plant by cuttings in a controlled environment in Dayton, Oreg. since December, 2007, has shown that the unique features of this new Thuja plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Thuja have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions such as temperature and light intensity without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘MonPin’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘MonPin’ as a new and distinct Thuja plant:
    • 1. Compact and upright plant habit; pyramidal plant form.
    • 2. Freely branching habit; dense and bushy form.
    • 3. Developing leaves are golden yellow to light yellow green in color becoming darker green with development.
    • 4. Good winter hardiness.
Plants of the new Thuja can be compared to plants of the parent, ‘Green Giant’. Plants of the new Thuja differ primarily from plants of ‘Green Giant’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Thuja are more compact than plants of ‘Green Giant’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Thuja are denser than and not as open as plants of ‘Green Giant’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Thuja and ‘Green Giant’ differ in leaf color as developing leaves of plants of ‘Green Giant’ are bright green in color.
Plants of the new Thuja can be compared to plants of Thuja occidentalis, ‘Brandon’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Thuja differed primarily from plants of ‘Brandon’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Thuja were more compact than plants of ‘Brandon’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Thuja grew slower than plants of ‘Brandon’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Thuja and ‘Brandon’ differed in leaf color as developing leaves of plants of ‘Brandon’ are bright green in color.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Thuja plant showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Thuja plant.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘MonPin’.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a close-up view of a typical plant of ‘MonPin’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in five-gallon containers in an outdoor nursery in Dayton, Oreg. and under cultural practices typical of commercial Thuja plant production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 4° C. to 32° and night temperatures ranged from −2° C. to 15° C. Plants were 44 months old when the photographs and description were taken. In the following detailed description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
