Embodiment Construction

The following detailed description of the `QSFTC` variety is based on observations of the original tree, which was about nine years old and of about six year old progeny growing in typical outdoor conditions in Bulloch County, Ga. The progeny had been asexually propagated from softwood cuttings at my direction in 1995. The observed progeny have thus far proven to retain the dense, upright, uniform branching pattern, glossy, dark green leaf, and red fall color of the parent tree even as smaller plants. Scientific name: Quercus sp., Varietal Name `QSFTC`. Parentage: Seed parent.--Unknown. Pollen parent.--Unknown. Believed to have Quercus shumardii as one of the parents. Tree: Overall shape.--Upright, more spreading with age, with a full head and central dominant leader. Height.--About 38 feet. Width.--About 24 feet. Caliper.--Original tree, 9 inches at 12 inches above ground. Vigor.--Fast growing; growth of 11 typical branches during 2001 growing season ranged from about 2 inches to a...

Abstract

An Oak tree named `QSFTC` having a dense, upright, uniform branching pattern, glossy, dark green leaf, and red fall color, and also which is capable of being reproduced reliably using vegetative cuttings.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Quercus sp.Variety denomination: `QSFTC`.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Quercus plant, which has been given the varietal name `QSFTC`. I discovered my new tree in 1995 as a chance seedling in a cultivated area of a nursery growing area in Bulloch County, Ga.The parentage of this tree is not totally certain. It is definitely a red oak type usually represented by Pin Oak, Quercus palustris, or Red Oak, Quercus rubra. There are also several related species, including Nuttall Oak (Quercus nuttallii), Shumard Oak (Quercus shumardii), and Scarlet Oak (Quercus coccinea). My new tree has characteristics and a history that have prevented making an exact identification of its species possible. However, I believe it is a new variety of Quercus shumardii.Seeds were collected from a group of three trees of an unknown variety in Birmingham, Ala. The seed were collected in fall of 1...
