Abstract
A new and distinct Berberis cultivar named ‘SMBTJ’ is disclosed, characterized by yellow young foliage with an orange flush. Plants have foliar resistance to sun burn and are compact and rounded in habit. The new variety is a Berberis, normally produced as an outdoor garden or container plant.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Berberis thunbergii.
Variety denomination: ‘SMBTJ’.
The new Berberis cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor, Timothy D. Wood, in Grand Haven, Mich. The objective of the breeding program was to produce new Berberis varieties. The cross resulting in this new variety was made during June of 2003.
The seed parent is an unpatented, commercial variety Berberis thunbergii ‘Golden Pygmy’. The pollen parent is unknown, as it was an open pollination breeding program. The new variety was identified as a potentially interesting selection in June of 2006, at a commercial greenhouse in Grand Haven, Mich.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘SMBTJ’ by softwood to semi-hardwood cuttings was first performed during the June of 2006, at a commercial greenhouse in Grand Haven, Mich. Subsequent propagation has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type in 4 successive generations.
The cultivar ‘SMBTJ’ 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 ‘SMBTJ’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘SMBTJ’ as a new and distinct Berberis cultivar:
-
- 1. Vibrant foliage colored yellow and yellow-green flushed orange when young and yellow-green, stippled yellow with maturity.
- 2. Compact, rounded habit.
- 3. Orange flush on new growth.
- 4. Foliar resistance to burning in full sun.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘SMBTJ’ are similar to plants of the seed parent, unpatented, commercial variety Berberis thunbergii, ‘Golden Pygmy’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘SMBTJ’ differ in the following;
-
- 1. The new variety has foliage with stronger resistance to burning in full sun, the seed parent is susceptible to foliar burning in full sun.
- 2. Compact, rounded habit. The seed parent is larger with a less compact habit.
Pollen parent unknown as this is product of open pollination.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘SMBTJ’ can be compared to the commercial variety Berberis ‘Koren’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 24,818. These varieties are similar in most horticultural characteristics; however ‘SMBTJ’ differs in the following:
-
- 1. Plant habit of the new variety is smaller and more compact than this comparator.
- 2. Foliage of the new variety is more yellow in full sun than this comparator.
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘SMBTJ’ during Spring, with vibrant yellow Summer foliage, grown in a 2 gallon pot, in Grand Haven, Mich.
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.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart 2007 except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe ‘SMBTJ’ plants grown out doors and also in a commercial poly greenhouse in Grand Haven, Mich. under natural lighting. Measurements were taken during the Spring and Summer of 2015. The plants were 2-3 years old in 1 gallon containers and field grown. The growing temperature ranged from 5° C. to 27° C. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical plant types.
