  • Patent number: PP5524
    Abstract: A Sophora japonica tree discovered in a block of standard Sophora japonica seedlings, specifically in the block of Sophora japonica seedlings known as Regent, an unpatented variety, and which my instant variety is distinguished by much more narrow and upright head of branches having a narrow rectilinear crown in outline, more free of cold weather twig die-back than normal seedling grown Sophora trees, resistant to stem cankers, and sparse flowering and fruiting which makes the new variety valuable for street trees grown in paved areas.
