Abstract
‘NCPH1’ is a new cultivar of hybrid cherry tree with a strict weeping habit, small stature, and showy pink flowers.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: The Latin name of the novel plant variety disclosed herein is Prunus sp.
Variety denomination: The inventive hybrid of Prunus ‘Snofozam’×Prunus ‘First Lady’ disclosed herein has been given the varietal denomination ‘NCPH1’.
The present invention comprises a new and distinct hybrid cherry cultivar hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘NCPH1’. This new cherry was developed through a breeding program at North Carolina State University, Mills River, N.C. ‘NCPH1’ was selected from a population of seedlings grown from a controlled cross of Prunus ‘Snofozam’ Snow Fountains® NCSU 2007-040 (unpatented, female parent)×Prunus ‘First Lady’ NCSU 2005-151 (unpatented, male parent). The first asexual propagation of ‘NCPH1’ was carried out in July 2010 by rooting stem cuttings in Mills River, N.C. and has been asexually reproduced repeatedly by vegetative cuttings over a 3 year period. ‘NCPH1’ roots readily from softwood cuttings treated with a basal dip of 4,000-5,000 ppm indole butyric acid (potassium salt) in water. ‘NCPH1’ has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive asexual propagations.
The following are the unique combination of characteristics of this new cultivar when grown under standard horticultural practices in Mills River, N.C.
-
- 1. Small stature.
- 2. Strict weeping habit.
- 3. Pink flower color.
This new cherry is illustrated by the accompanying photographs which show the plant's form, foliage and inflorescences. The colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures. 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 hybrid cherry.
The following is a detailed description of the botanical characteristics of the new and distinct hybrid cherry variety plant known by the denomination ‘NCPH1’. The detailed description was taken on a five-year-old field-grown plant in Mills River, N.C. in 2013. All colors cited herein refer to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (The Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S.), London, 2001 Edition). Where specific dimensions, sizes, colors, and other characteristics are given, it is to be understood that such characteristics are approximations or averages set forth as accurately as practicable.
