  • Publication number: 20200146195
    Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Japanese Snowbell tree named ‘SJMTF’ substantially as herein shown, illustrated and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by its columnar growth habit; dominant central leader, smaller, darker leaves; and its prolific blooms. These genetic traits are unique to my new variety and can be consistently reproduced by asexual propagation.

  • Publication number: 20190069459
    Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Winged Elm tree named ‘UAMTF’ substantially as herein shown, illustrated and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by its strong central leader as well as the refined, graceful branching which is attained through minimal and insignificant cork-like wings in comparison to the heavy wings evident in seedling Winged Elm. These form differences, along with its resistance to the powdery mildew and other leaf-borne illnesses found in seedling Winged Elm makes my selection uniquely different from all known patent selections and seedlings.
