ABSTRACT:

Botanical classification/cultivar designation:
Corokia cotoneaster×Corokia virgata
cultivar Tutti Frutti.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Corokia plant, botanically known as
Corokia cotoneaster×Corokia virgata
, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Tutti Frutti’.
The new Corokia was discovered by the Inventors in 1997 in a controlled environment in Otane, New Zealand, from seedling progeny from a chance cross-pollination of an unidentified
Corokia cotoneaster
selection, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unidentified
Corokia virgata
selection, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent.
Asexual reproduction of the new Corokia by cuttings in a controlled environment in Otane, New Zealand since 1999, has shown that the unique features of this new Corokia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Tutti Frutti have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature 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 ‘Tutti Frutti’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Tutti Frutti’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Upright plant form.
2. Freely branching growth habit.
3. Green, yellow and brownish red tri-colored foliage.
Plants of the cultivar Tutti Frutti are most similar to plants of the parents, the unidentified selections of
Corokia cotoneaster
and
Corokia virgata
. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Otane, New Zealand, plants of the new Corokia differed from plants of the parent selections primarily in leaf size and leaf coloration.
