Abstract
A new cultivar of Cupressus plant named ‘Havfrego’ that is characterized by its foliage that is uniquely colored; emerging green and changing to having white tips, and its upright plant habit.
Description
Botanical classification: Cupressus macrocarpa.
Varietal denomination: ‘Havfrego’.
This application is related to a plant breeders' rights application filed in the Netherlands on Nov. 22, 2016, application No. CPS6. There have been no offers for sale anywhere in the world prior to the effective filing date of this Application and no accessibility to one of ordinary skill in the art could have been derived from the printed plant breeder's rights documents.
The Applicant asserts that no publications or advertisements relating to sales, offers for sale, or public distribution occurred more than one year prior to the effective filing date of this application. Any information about the claimed plant less than one year prior to the effective filing date would have been obtained from a direct or indirect disclosure from the Inventor under 35 U.S.C. 102(b)(1).
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Cupressus macrocarpa and will be referred to hereafter by its cultivar name, ‘Havfrego’. ‘Havfrego’ is a new cultivar of Monterey cypress tree grown for landscape use.
The new Cupressus arose from a breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Haps, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new cultivar of Cupressus with uniquely colored foliage.
The new cultivar arose from a cross made in 2008 between Cupressus macrocarpa ‘Goldcrest’ (not patented) and an unnamed seedling from the Inventor's breeding program as the male parent. The Inventor selected ‘Havfrego’ as a single unique plant in 2011.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar was first accomplished by apical semi-hardwood cuttings by the Inventor in Haps, The Netherlands in October of 2015. Asexual propagation by apical semi-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 cultivar. These attributes in combination distinguish ‘Havfrego’, as a unique cultivar of Cupressus.
1. ‘Havfrego’ exhibits foliage that is uniquely colored; emerging green and changing to having white tips.
2. ‘Havfrego’ exhibits an upright plant habit.
The female parent plant, ‘Goldcrest’, differs from ‘Havfrego’ in having foliage with golden colored foliage. The male parent differs in having foliage that is green in color. ‘Havfrego’ can be compared to the cultivar ‘Wilma’ (syn. ‘Wilma Goldcrest’, not patented).
‘Wilma’ is similar to ‘Havfrego’ in having a foliage that is uniquely colored and in having an upright plant habit. ‘Wilma’ differs from ‘Havfrego’ in having lacking white foliage and in having a more a narrow columnar plant habit.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and distinct characteristics of the new Cupressus. The photographs were taken of a 36-month-old plant as grown in a conventional greenhouse in a 16-cm container in Haps, The Netherlands.
The photograph in FIG. 1 provides an overall view of the plant habit of ‘Havfrego’.
The photograph in FIG. 2 provides a close-up view of the foliage of ‘Havfrego’.
The colors in the photographs are as close as possible with the photographic and printing technology utilized and the values cited in the detailed botanical description accurately describe the colors of the new cultivar.
The following is a detailed description of 24-month-old plants of the new cultivar as grown in 16-cm containers in Haps, The Netherlands. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, as it has not been tested under all possible environmental conditions. The color determination is in accordance with The 2015 Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
