Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Taxus plant named ‘SMNTHDPF’, characterized by its upright and columnar plant form; freely branching habit requiring minimal pruning; dense and bushy appearance; bright green-colored leaves that maintain color throughout the seasons; and good landscape performance and hardiness.
Description
Botanical designation: Taxus x media.
Cultivar denomination: ‘SMNTHDPF’.
Title: Taxus Plant Named ‘SMNTHDB’
Applicant: Timothy D. Wood
Filed: Concurrently with this application, having application Ser. No. 16/602,660
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Taxus plant, botanically known as Taxus x media, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘SMNTHDPF’.
The new Taxus plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Grand Haven, Mich. The objective of the breeding program was to create new Taxus plants with unique and attractive plant forms.
The new Taxus plant originated from an open-pollination in 2006 in Grand Haven, Mich. of Taxus x media ‘Hicksii’, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unknown selection of Taxus x media as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Taxus plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single plant from within the progeny of the stated open-pollination in a controlled environment in Grand Haven, Mich. in 2011.
Asexual reproduction of the new Taxus plant by softwood stem cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Grand Haven, Mich. since 2011 has shown that the unique features of this new Taxus plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Taxus have not been observed under all possible combinations of environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature 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 ‘SMNTHDPF’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘SMNTHDPF’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Taxus plant:
-
- 1. Upright and columnar plant form.
- 2. Freely branching habit requiring minimal pruning; dense and bushy appearance.
- 3. Bright green-colored leaves that maintain color throughout the seasons.
- 4. Good landscape performance and hardiness.
Plants of the new Taxus can be compared to plants of the female parent, ‘Hicksii’, in plant shape as plants of the new Taxus are narrower and more columnar than plants of ‘Hicksii’. In addition, plants of the new Taxus have darker green-colored leaves than plants of ‘Hicksii’.
Plants of the new Taxus can be compared to plants of Taxus x media ‘SMNTHDC’, disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 16/350,983, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 31,795. Plants of the new Taxus differ primarily from plants of ‘SMNTHDC’ in plant shape as plants of the new Taxus are narrower than and not as broad as plants of ‘SMNTHDC’. In addition, plants of the new Taxus have darker green-colored leaves than plants of ‘SMNTHDC’.
Plants of the new Taxus can also be compared to plants of Taxus x media ‘SMNTHDB’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Patent application filed concurrently, having application Ser. No. 16/602,660, in plant shape as overall shape of plants of the new Taxus is columnar whereas overall shape of plants of ‘SMNTHDB’ is ball-shaped.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Taxus plant showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. 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 Taxus plant.
The photograph on the first sheet (FIG. 1 of 2) is a side perspective view of typical plants of ‘SMNTHDPF’ grown in containers in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse environment in Grand Haven, Mich.; plants used in the photograph were two years old.
The photograph on the second sheet (FIG. 2 of 2) is a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘SMNTHDPF’ grown in an outdoor nursery in Grand Haven, Mich.; the plant used for the photograph was five years old.
Plants used for the following observations and measurements were grown during the summer in one-gallon containers in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse in Grand Haven, Mich. Plants were grown under cultural practices typical of commercial Taxus plant production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 18° C. to 27° C. and night temperatures ranged from 5° C. to 10° C. Plants were two years old when the description was taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2015 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
