viburnum rhytidophylloides

22 years ago

Hi

For fun, two years ago I crossed viburnum lantana with rhytidophyllum.

Pollen was from lantana. I succeeded to get the hybrid.

Today, I have got only one schrub rhytidophylloides.

I would be interested to get a fine and precise description of rhytidophylloides to see if my schrub differ slightly of this description.

The leaves have a cordate form and in size and aspect just between lantana and rhytidophyllum. Twigs are white and rather wooly. Flowers are not appeared yet: when will the schrub will have its first flowers?

Thanks

    Even if your shrub proves to be very similar to one or more selections of rhytidophylloides already out there, if it is healthy and attractive, it could still be of interest and value to Viburnum growers interested in diversifying their genetics for cross-pollination purposes, which of course is vital for good berry set. I love the looks of my rhytidophylloides 'dart's duke' and even though I already grow V. lantana 'Mohican' and V. lantana 'variegata', rhytidophyllum and the hybrids 'Conoy' and 'Pragense', I don't think I would pass up the opportunity to acquire another type of rhytidophylloides if one presented itself during a nursery excursion. It's also possible that your hybrid might not distinguish itself until seen in bloom or berry. I would suggest trying to propagate from cuttings early on so that you'll have a head start should it prove remarkable in some marketable way or just in case you meet up with another viburnum addict (like me) with whom you might want to share a unique plant. Good Luck!

    If I had successfully created such a hybrid, I think I would be compelled to hastily obtain as many rhytidophylloides cultivars as I could get my hands on, mail-order or otherwise, so that I could observe and assess the uniqueness and worth of my creation firsthand. There will only be so much you can glean from an internet description and/or photo, especially if the differences are subtle. But then I think I've already tipped my hand and revealed that I'm interested in obtaining them all anyway, so maybe its the obsession talking!

    Does anyone know for certain the parentage of Dart's Duke? I believe it is a V. x rhytidophylloides back crossed to a V. lantana? We acquired a rooted cutting today, about 6 inches tall, from a reputable nursery in this area. Happened to come across it while browsing around their sales garden. It has incredibly leathery, dark green, leaves. We have several Viburnum varieties, cultivars, acquired over the past decade. Pleased to have this addition. But, what is its actual breeding? It is similar to our 'Cree' in leaf texture but the leaves are wider than 'Cree' and it appears not quite so compact at this early stage of its growth.
