Abstract
A new and distinct variety of Cercis plant named ‘RNI-RCC3’ is disclosed, characterized by distinctive, dark purple foliage that retains its color in heat. Plants are very straight and upright, with exceptional vigor. The new variety is a Cercis, normally used for outdoor ornamental purposes.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Cercis canadensis.
Variety denomination: ‘RNI-RCC3’.
The new Cercis cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor in Wisconsin. The objective of the breeding program was to develop a highly vigorous plant with dark purple, persistent foliage color, and a straight, upright habit. The new variety is the result of open pollination occurring during the Summer of 2015.
The new variety was developed through an open pollination program in which seed was bulk collected from various unnamed varieties of Cercis canadensis. As the seed was bulk collected and resulted from open-pollination, both parents cannot be accurately identified. The new variety was selected on May 5, 2017, by the inventor in a group of seedlings resulting from the open pollination, in a commercial nursery in Oregon.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar has been performed by budding. This was first performed at a commercial nursery in McMinnville, Oreg., Aug. 15, 2018, and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type in multiple successive generations.
The cultivar ‘RNI-RCC3’ 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 ‘RNI-RCC3’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘RNI-RCC3’ as a new and distinct Cercis cultivar:
-
- 1. Dark purple foliage.
- 2. Retains distinctive foliage color even in heat.
- 3. Exceptional vigor, reaching 10-12′ in one year.
- 4. Very straight, upright habit.
Parent comparisons are unavailable, as both parents are unidentified.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘RNI-RCC3’ are comparable to the commercial variety Cercis ‘Forest Pansy’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,556. The two Cercis varieties are similar in most horticultural characteristics; however, the new variety ‘RNI-RCC3’ differs in the following:
-
- 1. Plants of the new variety grow more vigorously than plants of this comparator.
- 2. Plants of the new variety have longer internodes than plants of this comparator.
- 3. Plants of the new variety are taller, with larger calipers than plants of this comparator.
- 4. Trunks of the new variety are very straight; trunks of this comparator are less straight.
- 5. Plants of the new variety have darker purple foliage than plants of this comparator.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘RNI-RCC3’ are comparable to the commercial variety Cercis ‘JN16’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 28,627. The two Cercis varieties are similar in most horticultural characteristics; however, the new variety ‘RNI-RCC3’ differs in the following:
-
- 1. Plants of the new variety have darker purple foliage than plants of this comparator.
- 2. Plants of the new variety are taller than plants of this comparator.
- 3. Plants of the new variety have a more upright habit than plants of this comparator.
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates flowering plants outdoors at approximately 4 years old in McMinnville, Oreg.
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 2015 except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe ‘RNI-RCC3’ plants grown in a poly-house in Grand Haven, Mich. The growing temperature ranged from approximately 18° C. to 27° C. during the day and from approximately 5° C. to 10° C. during the night.
