Embodiment Construction

[0023]The chart used in the identification of the colors is that of the Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S. Colour Chart) of London, England. Color terminology in common terms sometimes is used. Such color terminology is to be accorded its customary dictionary significance. The description is based on the observation of plants of the new variety being grown at Brooksville, Fla. U.S.A., and at Webster, Fla., U.S.A.[0024]Plant:[0025]Parentage.—Chance seedling of Qercus virginiana of unknown parentage growing in a cultivated area at Brooksville, Fla., U.S.A.[0026]Type.—Evergreen when grown in the southeastern portion of the United States. Under such growing conditions the foliage remains attractive even when dormant.[0027]Tree shape.—Generally upright and uniform growth habit with a pronounced dominant central leader which commonly is lacking in traditional Southern Live Oak trees. The growth habit is more upright than that of the ‘SDLN’ variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,015) and somewha...

Abstract

A distinctive Southern Live Oak tree is provided which was discovered as a chance seedling at Brooksville, Fla., U.S.A. The new variety is well-suited for growing as an easily-maintained quality shade tree in the landscape. The tree is a very rapid grower and displays a generally upright and substantially uniform and dense growth habit with a dominant central leader when mature. The lateral branches commonly are disposed at angles of greater than 60 degrees from the vertical in the substantial absence of included bark. Attractive dark green elongated and narrow leaves are formed which are glossy on the upper surface.

Description

[0001]Botanical / commercial classification: Quercus virginiana / Southern Live Oak.[0002]Varietal denomination: cv. Cannon-Sharp.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]The new variety of Quercus virginiana was discovered at Brooksville, Fla., U.S.A., during 2003 while growing among a row of three-year-old common Southern Live Oak trees. The seed used to plant the row of trees had previously been collected from open-pollinated common Southern Live Oak trees growing at Madison, Fla., U.S.A. The new variety of the present invention is believed to be a chance seedling of unknown parentage. Had I not discovered and preserved the single tree of the new variety, it would have been lost to mankind.[0004]I was primarily attracted to a single plant of the new variety in view of its rapid upright growth habit and its narrow glossy dark green leaves.[0005]Upon further study and evaluation, it was confirmed that the new Southern Live Oak tree of the present invention possesses the following combination of c...
