‘Festival’<br />
Application No: 1999/032 Accepted: 24 Feb 1999.<br />
Applicant: Yellow Rock Native Nursery Pty Ltd,<br />
Winmalee, NSW.<br />
Characteristics (Table 5 and Fig 25) Plant: upright, bushy,<br />
evergreen, small tree. Leaves: opposite, trifoliate, flat,<br />
waxy. Leaflets: length medium (mean 54.26mm), width<br />
medium (mean 15.98mm), shape elliptic, apex acute (point<br />
rounded), base oblique-attenuate, upper surface dark green,<br />
lower leaf surface lighter green, margin serrated, colour of<br />
new growth bronzed red with a green midrib. Flowers:<br />
small, creamy white in terminal panicles. Sepals: 4-5<br />
broadly obovate, sepal-circle mean diameter 22.98mm,<br />
white at first (Nov), ripening (mid Dec) to deep red (RHS<br />
46A) on inside of sepal, and rose red (RHS 47B) on outside<br />
of sepal. (Note: all colour chart numbers refer to 1995<br />
edition.)<br />
Origin and Breeding Controlled pollination: seed parent<br />
‘Christmas Belle’ x pollen parent ‘Albery’s Red’. The seed<br />
parent is characterised by having attractive bell shaped deep<br />
red fruit but with a tendency for flower drop and micro<br />
nutrient deficiencies in the foliage. The pollen parent is<br />
characterised by abundant early season orange-red fruit and<br />
vigorous stable growth. Hybridisation took place at Yellow<br />
Rock Native Nursery, Winmalee, NSW in Oct 1992. Seed<br />
was germinated in Feb 1993 in seedling trays and tubed in<br />
Oct 1993, and grown on in 200mm pots until flowering and<br />
fruit set in Dec 1996. ‘Festival’ was selected on basis of<br />
vigorous, upright growth habit and fruit size, colour and<br />
vase life. Propagation: ‘Festival’ was propagated through<br />
five generations and found to be stable. Breeder: Neil Kirby<br />
and Tony Foster, Yellow Rock Native Nursery Pty Ltd,<br />
Winmalee, NSW.<br />
Choice of Comparators Both seed and pollen parents,<br />
‘Christmas Belle’ and ‘Albery’s Red’ were chosen as<br />
comparators on the basis of foliage and fruit colour.<br />
‘Festival’ differs from ‘Albery’s Red’ in its upright plant<br />
habit, larger leaflets and intensely deep red fruit. ‘Festival’<br />
differs from ‘Christmas Belle’ in its upright plant habit,<br />
darker green foliage, larger leaflets, and deeper red fruit.<br />
‘VIC 90-1’ was not considered because of its variegated<br />
foliage and different coloured fruit.<br />
Comparative Trials Location: Yellow Rock Native<br />
Nursery Pty Ltd, Winmalee, NSW. Nov 1999-Dec 2000<br />
Conditions: Trials conducted in open, full sun. Plants<br />
propagated from cuttings, rooted cuttings planted in 200mm<br />
pots containing commercial potting media dripper irrigated<br />
spacing at 30cm, nutrition, pest and disease treatment as<br />
required. Trial design: twenty plants of each variety<br />
arranged in a completely randomised design.<br />
Measurements: From ten plants of each variety chosen<br />
randomly.<br />
Prior Applications and Sales<br />
No prior applications. First sold in <strong>Australia</strong> in Mar 1998.<br />
