Publication number: 20200128715Abstract: A new and distinct Forsythia plant named ‘MNICH01’ particularly distinguished by new foliage growth exhibiting solid yellow coloration, unique leaf margin variegation on maturing leaves, leaf margin variegation that extends the showy period of the plant beyond the spring flowering period, and reduced plant size providing more compact plant form when compared to other standard commercial Forsythia cultivars, as disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2019Publication date: April 23, 2020Inventor: Christine Hobbs

Publication number: 20190045686Abstract: A new and distinct Forsythia cultivar named ‘BJ2013’ which is characterized by the combination of an upright to arching growth habit with a globular plant form, a moderate abundance of small yellow flowers in early spring prior to the emergence of new foliage, unique juvenile foliage color comprised of a highly variable combination of yellow-green and light green-yellow mottle variegation on some portion of the leaf surface with the balance of the leaf with zonal green-yellow coloration, unique mature foliage variegation comprised of a combination of green with light green and white mottling and zonal white coloration, and the stability of these characteristics from generation to generation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2017Publication date: February 7, 2019Inventors: Jason Jon Spring, Charles William Henry

Publication number: 20030061647Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Forsythia plant is provided that is a seedling formed following the induced mutation of the ‘Spring Glory’ cultivar (non-patented in the United States). Gamma radiation was utilized to create the mutation. The new cultivar can be readily distinguished from the parent cultivar by the presence of a very compact dwarf growth habit with exceptionally short internodes. Attractive bright yellow flowers are formed on an abundant basis. In view of the short internodes the blossoms well cover the relatively thick branches. Dark green foliage begins to appear during flowering. The winter hardiness is good. The plant is particularly well suited for growing in containers. The new cultivar also is well suited for growing as attractive ornamentation in the landscape.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2002Publication date: March 27, 2003Inventor: M. Alain Cadic

Publication number: 20020194659Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Forsythia plant is provided that is an induced mutation of the ‘Lynwood’ cultivar (non-patented in the United States). The gamma radiation of buds was utilized to create the mutation. The new cultivar can be readily distinguished from the parent cultivar by the presence of a more uniform and compact upright growth habit which yields a plant approximately two-thirds the height of the parent cultivar. Showy golden yellow blossoms are presented over the entire plant in the springtime prior to the appearance of the leaves. The winter hardiness is good. The new cultivar is particularly well suited for growing as attractive ornamentation in the landscape.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2002Publication date: December 19, 2002Inventor: M. Alain Cadic

Publication number: 20020095699Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Forsythia plant is provided that is a seedling formed following the induced mutation of the ‘Spring Glory’ cultivar (non-patented in the United States). Gamma radiation was utilized to create the mutation. The new cultivar can be readily distinguished from the parent cultivar by the presence of a wide prostrate slow-growing growth habit. Anthocyanin coloration is present at the apex of the sepals. Attractive wide-opening yellow flowers are formed commonly on a single basis with one flower being formed per bud. The winter hardiness is good. The new cultivar also is well suited for growing as attractive ornamentation in the landscape where good control of plant height is to be maintained. The new cultivar requires no special care.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2001Publication date: July 18, 2002Inventor: M. Alain Cadic

Patent number: PP11055Abstract: A new and distinct Forsythia variety characterized by the very large size of the flowers which have a rich golden color and with much broader petals than any other Forysthia variety known to me. The flowers are very dense on the twigs so that the shrub is a solid mass of gold when in bloom. It forms a dense, rounded shrub, broader than tall. The flower buds survive cold winter in USDA hardiness zone 5-A when the flower buds of Forsythia intermedia varieties have been killed.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 1997Date of Patent: September 7, 1999Assignee: TreesearchInventor: William Flemer, III
