ABSTRACT:
DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of
Taxodium distichum
, Swamp Cypress, which has been given the varietal name ‘Cascade Falls’.
I discovered the original tree of my new variety as a seedling growing in a cultivated area along the bank of a small man-made lake on my property in Albany, Auckland, New Zealand. My attention was drawn to this new plant because of its distinct weeping characteristic that is unlike any other Swamp Cypress trees of which I am aware. Subsequently, at my direction, my original tree has been asexually propagated by grafting onto
Taxodium distichum
understock. Branches of my new variety weep downwardly from the graft, thereby confirming that this unique and distinct characteristic of my new variety is firmly fixed. These observations of the original tree and of asexually propagated progeny have confirmed that my new variety represents a new and improved variety of Swamp Cypress as particularly evidenced by a weeping growth habit. Asexual propagation of the new variety by grafting onto
Taxodium distichum
understock has been accomplished in New Plymouth, New Zealand and also in Boring, Oreg.
The accompanying photographs depict the color of the tree and foliage of my new variety as nearly true as is reasonably possible to make the same in a color illustration of this character. It should be noted that colors vary with growing conditions and time of year as well as with lighting conditions at the time the photographs are taken.
Color references are to The R.H.S. Colour Chart, Royal Horticultural Society, London, United Kingdom, unless the context clearly indicates the color term is intended to have its ordinary dictionary meaning.
