Definitions
- the new and distinct Ilex Hybrid plant of this invention comprises a novel and valuable holly plant with an upright, dense, rounded shape and attractive reddish-purple new growth.
- the new growth of this plant is interestingly and clearly red due to anthocyanin, which is of distinctly higher concentration than in the parent variety.
- the plant of this invention may be advantageously employed as a specimen appointment, in either formal or informal groupings, and is very attractive in mass plantings.
- the plant serves well in foundation plantings and is adapted for culture as a potted plant.
- This plant is responsive to pruning and training and may be used in forming dense, attractive hedges, and maintained without an excessive amount of care.
- This plant is easy to care for and maintain in size due to its smaller stature, heavy branching, and dense canopy.
- the Reddish/Purple color of the new foliage is unique and offers a novel and strikingly appealing contrast of new foliage to old foliage in plants of this market class.
- Mature leaves are a rich lustrous green color with attractive spines.
- FIG. 1 discloses the dense rounded shape and the reddish-purple new growth of the new variety.
- FIG. 2 shows a close-up view of the attractive orange-red fruit and mature foliage of the new variety.
- FIG. 3 is a side-by-side photograph of (from left to right) the parent plant Ilex Hybrid ⁇ Mary Nell ⁇ , the new variety, and Ilex Hybrid ⁇ Nellie R. Stevens ⁇ .
- the mid-winter photograph shows the new variety's upright, dense, rounded shape and slightly lighter mature foliage color.
- FIG. 4 is also a side-by-side photograph illustrating the leaf shapes and sizes of (from left to right) the parent plant Ilex Hybrid ⁇ Mary Nell ⁇ , the new variety, and Ilex Hybrid ⁇ Nellie R. Stevens ⁇ . Also evident is the less glossy leaf of the new variety compared to the other hollies.
- the parent plants of the new variety ⁇ Coned ⁇ is Ilex ⁇ Mary Nell ⁇ which originated from a controlled cross made in 1962 by Joe McDaniel at Tom Dodd Nurseries in Semmes, Ala.
- the female parent was Ilex (cornuta ⁇ Burfordii ⁇ pernyi) ⁇ Red Delight ⁇ , A selection of Henry Hohman, Kingsville Nurseries, Kingsville, Md.
- the male parent was Ilex latifolia.
- Ilex ⁇ Mary Nell ⁇ was named in 1981 by Thomas H. Dodd., Jr. after Joe McDaniel's wife.
- Ilex Hybrid ⁇ Nellie R. Stevens ⁇ which is very popular in the industry, is a hybrid between Ilex aquifolium and Ilex cornuta. It was released by G. A. Van-Lennep, Jr., St. Michael, Md. in 1954. It is named for the owner, Nellie R. Stevens, Oxford, Md. This non-patented plant is comparable to the new plant, however, there are many differences.
- the immature foliage of the new variety is Greyed-Purple Group 187A compared to Yellow-Green Group 144A of Ilex ⁇ Nellie R. Stevens ⁇ .
- the new variety also has more spines, 7-9 (pairs) compared to 2-3 (pairs), less glossy mature leaves, and has a smaller overall plant size.
- Foliage Alternate, simple, evergreen, ovate to narrowly lanceolate, and vary in size from 2-2 3/4" long and 7/8-1 1/4" wide.
- the margins are slightly recurved and serrate with 7-9 pairs of prominent spines.
- the spines vary in length and width from 1/16 to 3/16" and usually alternate between long and short.
- the apex is acute and has a single spine and the base is cuneate.
- the petiole is 1/4-3/8" long.
- Mid-veins and laterals are impressed on the upper leaf surface and the mid-veins are prominent on the underside.
- the upper surface of the immature leaves are glossy, glabrous, and are Grey-Purple Group 187A.
- the lower surface of the immature leaves are Grey-Purple Group 186B and matte. As the leaves mature they become less glossy and the upper surfaces becomes closest to Green Group 139A and the lower leaf surface becomes Yellow-Green Group 146C. This mature leaf color persists through the winter. Although the mature leaf color of the new variety is closest to Green Group 139A, which is also the color of the parent plant, it appears to be a shade lighter when viewed in full sun. This could be due in part to the less glossy leaf surface of the new variety.
- the average length of terminal growth of the initial spring flush is about 10" for a plant in full sun and 12" when grown in shade. After this initial flush we normally trim the plant lightly and the plant then continue to grow about 6" until we trim it a second time in the early fall. The fall growth of about 8" then hides the cut limbs. We finish in the fall with a three gallon plant about 28" tall and 24" wide. I have not noticed a difference in vigor between this plant and the parent, however, its shorter internode length and increased branching results in a shorter more dense plant. Ilex ⁇ Mary Nell ⁇ plants grown under identical conditions were 34" tall and 20" wide at the end of the fall.
- Stems The young shoots and petioles have a pronounced purple pigmentation, Greyed-Purple Group 187A, and are matte. As the stems mature they become Yellow-Green Group 144A. The stem tips (1/2-1") and petioles retain the purple pigmentation into the winter. After one or more years the stems are generally Green-Brown Group 199C, glabrous and rugose. The pith is solid and uniform. Young and older stems are densely branched.
