Abstract
A new and distinct Thuja cultivar named ‘TPMTF’ is disclosed, characterized by dark green foliage on dense plants with upswept branches. Plants have been observed to tolerate high temperatures in the Southern United States. The new cultivar is a Thuja, suitable for ornamental garden purposes.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Thuja plicata x standishii.
Variety denomination: ‘TPMTF’.
The new cultivar, hereinafter referred to as ‘TPMTF’, was discovered by the inventor, Dwayne Moon, in a commercial nursery in Washington, Ga. This new variety was discovered growing as an individual plant among a group of branch sport Thuja plicata x standishii ‘Green Giant’ (unpatented). The inventor identified this interesting new variety during the Summer of 2013 in his production field.
After identifying the new variety as a potentially interesting selection during 2013, the inventor first organized propagation of ‘TPMTF’ by softwood cuttings at the same commercial nursery late 2013. The inventor continued controlled testing and propagation, assessing stability of the unique characteristics of this variety. At least five generations have been reproduced and have shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type.
The cultivar ‘TPMTF’ 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 ‘TPMTF’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘TPMTF’ as a new and distinct Thuja cultivar:
-
- 1. Dark green foliage.
- 2. Narrow width, about 50% of typical Thuja plicata x standishii.
- 3. No bell shape on bottom.
- 4. Close bud set.
- 4. Dense canopy.
- 5. Upswept branch structure.
- 6. Observed heat tolerance in the Southern United States.
‘TPMTF’ is similar in most horticultural characteristics to the parent variety Thuja plicata x standishii. ‘Green Giant’. Plants of the new cultivar ‘TPMTF’ however, differ in the following:
-
- 1. New cultivar grows more slowly than the parent variety.
- 2. New cultivar has denser foliage and darker green foliage.
- 3. The new variety produces branches at a more upright angle than the parent.
- 4. The new variety is overall smaller in both height and width than the parent.
- 5. The top of the plant of the new variety branches more densely than plants of the parent.
Thuja ‘TPMTF’ can be compared to the commercial variety Thuja plicata ‘Fastigiata’ (unpatented). Plants are similar in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new variety differ in the following:
-
- 1. ‘TPMTF’ grows overall smaller in both height and width than this comparator.
- 2. ‘TPMTF’ is a fuller plant on the top.
- 3. The new variety does not grow as rapidly as this comparator.
Thuja ‘TPMTF’ can be compared to the commercial variety Thuja plicata ‘Green Splendor’ (aka ‘Hoyt’) (unpatented). Plants are similar in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new variety differ in the following:
-
- 1. ‘TPMTF’ grows overall smaller in both height and width than this comparator.
- 2. ‘TPMTF’ is a fuller plant on the top.
- 3. The new variety does not grow as rapidly as this comparator.
Thuja ‘TPMTF’ can be compared to the commercial variety Thuja plicata ‘Stribling’ (unpatented). Plants are similar in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new variety differ in the following:
-
- 1. ‘TPMTF’ grows into a narrow obovate shape, this comparator is highly columnar.
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color typical plants of ‘TPMTF’ grown outdoors in Washington, Ga. The plants are approximately 2 to 3 years old, shown growing in the ground.
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 ‘TPMTF’ plants grown outdoors in Loganville, Ga. Plants are approximately 2-3 years old, in a 3 gallon nursery container. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical plant types.

- Time to rooting: 60 to 90 days at approximately 40-50° F.
- Root description: Thick to fine, fibrous and fleshy, moderate branching. Colored white to tan, not accurately measured with the RHS chart.
- Growth habit: Upright, with upswept branches, overall narrow obovate.
- Height: 150 cm.
- Plant spread: 60 cm.
- Typical growth rate: Moderate.
- Pinching required: Some pinching encourages better branching.
- Branching habit: Occurring from center, upswept, acute.
