eval: not much seen in the US where 'Birmingham' has filled this
role. Both
eval: these cultivars could be replaced by 'Red Robin' which is
smaller. Jacobsen (1996)
eval: says this clone holds it new growth color for a shorter period than 'Red
Robin'.
Photinia x fraseri 'Super Hedger' |

Photinia serrulata 'Aculeata' = 'Nova Lineata' |
Photinia serrulata 'Chinese Toyon' |
ns: this
is doubtful as a cultivar registration since it represents the
popular common
ns: name of a species. If it is a distinct clone it must be
renamed but does not appear
ns: to be in the trade.
li: American Assoc. Nurseryman Proc. 1949: 147
Photinia serrulata 'Green
Giant'

image |
ha:
upright, large, and vigorous, globose to subglobose, sometimes ovoid dense head.
Forms a large tree as the species - a tad neater than random seedlings.
lc: dark green (superior to typical?). New growth light "apple green". New
growth can be bronze to red in seedlings.
or: selected by Dr. Michael Dirr from the Univ. of GA campus.
dr: leaf spot resistant
web: Nobleplants
Photinia serrulata 'Nova' |
ha: slightly smaller than
species typical

dr: resistant to mildew compared to species seedlings
or: W.B. Clarke Nursery, CA USA 1926 as seedlings of Chinese imported seed
in: W.B. Clarke Nursery 1934
ns: 'Aculeata' has been considered a synonym of both 'Nova' and 'Nova Lineata'.
Jacobsen has separated the names and we follow that taxonomy here.
li: Jacobsen, A.L. 1996. North Amer. Land. Trees. Tenspeed Press. p. 425.
Photinia serrulata 'Nova Lineata' ('Aculeata'?) |
ha: more
compact
lc: midrib and primary veins often ivory yellow, often slightly white-centered,
originally described as having large zones of yellow, cream, and green.
in: W.B. Clarke Nursery, CA USA 1943, much later than true 'Nova'. Jacobsen
mentions that Monrovia sold this as early as 1954
id, ns: 'Aculeata' has been considered a synonym of both 'Nova' and 'Nova
Lineata'. Jacobsen has separated the names and we follow that taxonomy here.
Basically, 'Nova' is
id, ns: a green-leaved, large-fruited clone while 'Nova Lineata' is a variegated
clone introduced almost a decade later.

Photinia serrulata 'Nova' and 'Nova Lineata' = 'Aculeata' |
Photinia serrulata 'Redtwigged' ('Redtwigged Chinese Toyon') |
st: twigs
red compared to species typical
ns: while the 3 word name is the official registration, inclusion
of a common name
ns: of the species in a cultivar name is clearly invalid.

ht: 20 ft.
ha: vase-shaped (not too atypical)

fq: possibly more floriferous than some clones.
