Abstract
A new cultivar of Sambucus named ‘WALFINB’ that is characterized by its compact and short plant habit, its stiff dense branches with short internode lengths and an arching habit, its bright gold foliage that is deeply dissected, its very early flowering prior to leafing out in February and March in the United Kingdom and The Netherlands, its large inflorescences that open from large peony-like inflorescence buds, and its red berries if cross-pollination occurs.
Description
Genus/species: Sambucus racemosa.
Varietal denomination: ‘WALFINB’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Sambucus racemosa and will be referred to hereafter by its cultivar name, ‘WALFINB’. ‘WALFINB’ represents a new cultivar of Elderberry, a deciduous shrub grown for landscape use.
The new Sambucus was discovered by the Inventors as a naturally occurring whole plant mutation in Liss, Hampshire, United Kingdom in 2000. It was discovered in a large garden that contained over 100 cultivars and unnamed seedlings of Sambucus and the parentage is therefore unknown.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar was first accomplished by semi-ripe stem hardwood cuttings under the direction of the Inventors in Liss, Hampshire, United Kingdom in 2010. Asexual propagation by semi-ripe stem hardwood cuttings has determined that the characteristics of the new 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 Sambucus. These attributes in combination distinguish ‘WALFINB’ as a distinct cultivar of Sambucus.
-
- 1. ‘WALFINB’ exhibits a compact and short plant habit.
- 2. ‘WALFINB’ exhibits stiff dense branches with short internode lengths and an arching habit.
- 3. ‘WALFINB’ exhibits bright gold foliage that is deeply dissected.
- 4. ‘WALFINB’ exhibits very early flowering prior to leafing out in February and March in the United Kingdom and The Netherlands.
- 5. ‘WALFINB’ exhibits large inflorescences that open from large peony-like inflorescence buds.
- 6. ‘WALFINB’ exhibits red berries if cross-pollination occurs.
‘WALFINB’ can also be compared to the cultivars ‘Sutherland Gold’ (not patented) and ‘Eva’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,575). ‘Sutherland Gold’ is similar to ‘WALFINB’ in having golden foliage but differs from ‘WALFINB’ in being taller in height, in having less dense branching that are upright rather than arching, and in having leaves that are less dissected. ‘Eva’ is similar to ‘WALFINB’ in having deeply dissected foliage but differs from ‘WALFINB’ most significantly in having dark purple foliage.
The accompanying photographs illustrate the characteristics of the new cultivar of Sambucus. The photographs were taken of a 3 year-old plant as grown in a trial plot in Liss, Hampshire, England.
The photograph in FIG. 1 provides a view of the plant habit of ‘WALFINB’.
The photograph in FIG. 2 provides a close-up view of the foliage of ‘WALFINB’.
The photograph in FIG. 3 provides a close-up view of the berries of ‘WALFINB’.
The photograph in FIG. 4 provides a close-up view of the inflorescence bud of ‘WALFINB’.
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 Sambucus.
The following is a detailed description of three year-old plants of the new cultivar as grown outdoors in a trial plot in Liss, Hampshire, England. Phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural 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.
