Abstract

A new and distinct Ternstroemia cultivar named ‘BROODY’ is disclosed, characterized by distinctive green and cream variegated foliage with a pink flush on new growth. Plants have a compact habit and are not observed to flower. Plants are very well suited for performance in the landscape, including as a specimen plant or a hedge. The new cultivar is a Ternstroemia, suitable for ornamental garden purposes.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Ternstroemia gymnanthera.
Variety denomination: ‘BROODY’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new Ternstroemia cultivar is a product of chance discovery by the inventor at a commercial nursery in Fort White, Fla. in August of 2006. The inventor discovered the new variety as a single branch, naturally occurring mutation of the parent variety, an unnamed Ternstroemia gymnanthera.
After identifying the new variety as a potentially interesting selection, the inventor first organized propagation of ‘BROODY’ by terminal vegetative cuttings September of 2006 at the same commercial nursery in Fort White, Fla. The inventor continued controlled testing and propagation, assessing stability of the unique characteristics of this variety. At least four generations have been reproduced and have shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘BROODY’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, 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 ‘BROODY’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘BROODY’ as a new and distinct Ternstroemia cultivar:
  • 1. Unique variegated foliage with yellow margins and pink flushed new foliage.
  • 2. Compact plant.
  • 3. Blooming not observed under normal garden conditions. No fruits of flowers produced regularly.
COMPARISON TO PARENT VARIETY
The new variety is similar to the parent variety in most horticultural characteristics. However, ‘Broody’ differs from the parent variety in the following:
  • 1. Plants of the new variety are more cold hardy than plants of the parent.
  • 2. Foliage of the new variety is variegated, foliage of the parent is solid.
  • 3. Plants of the new variety are smaller than plants of the parent variety.
  • 4. Foliage of the new variety is less glossy than foliage of the parent.
  • 5. Plants of the new variety rarely bloom, plants of the parent variety bloom regularly.
COMMERCIAL COMPARISON
‘BROODY’ can be compared to the commercial variety Ternstroemia gymnanthera ‘Contherann’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,737. Plants of the new cultivar ‘BROODY’ are similar to plants of ‘Contherann’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘BROODY’ differ in the following:
  • 1. ‘BROODY’ has variegated foliage not seen in this comparator.
  • 2. Plants of the new variety rarely bloom and have not been observed to set fruit, plants of this comparator flower and set fruit regularly.
  • 3. Foliage of the new variety produces a pink blush, foliage of this comparator produces a dark bronze blush.
  • 4. Plants of the new variety are smaller than plants of this comparator.
‘BROODY’ can be compared to the commercial variety Ternstroemia gymnanthera ‘Sotall’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,680. Plants of the new cultivar ‘BROODY’ are similar to plants of ‘Sotall’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘BROODY’ differ in the following;
    • 1. ‘BROODY’ has variegated foliage, ‘Sotall’ has dark green solid colored foliage.
    • 2. Foliage of ‘BROODY’ is smaller than foliage of ‘Sotall’.
    • 3. Foliage of ‘BROODY’ is less glossy than foliage of ‘Sotall’.
    • 4. Plant size of ‘BROODY’ is smaller than plant size of ‘Sotall’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a 2 year old plant of the new variety in a 3 gallon pot.
FIG. 2 illustrates new foliage with a pink flush.
The photographs were taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
