Ornamental Trees: Extinct, Missing and Rediscovered

Ornamental trees are generally grown for their aesthetic appeal, although they may also provide other boons. They are often grown for their flowers, leaves, weeping habit, etc. With those that are deciduous providing a fantastic display in autumn as their leaves change colours before falling off.

Several cultivars have been rediscovered in recent years, as their identification often requires specialised knowledge. It is possible that many other 'lost' cultivars await rediscovery, often in public places. This is especially true for cultivars of Crataegus and other long lived (i.e. average lifespan of a century or more) genera/species.

NB: Please note that I am currently updating/fixing this database of cultivars.

 

Most Genera

Acer campestre 'Eastleigh Weeping'

Status: Missing?

Introduced: pre-1980

Last record: ?

Distribution: England (& USA?)

Notes: Discovered as a seedling at Hillier & Son nursery in Ampfield, England. One of the last specimens died at the Sir Harold Hillier Gardens, Hampshire, England. May have been exported to the USA, and hence may still survive there.

Quotes:

"The Field Maple Acer campestre cultivar 'Eastleigh Weeping' or 'Weeping Eastleigh Field Maple' is a weeping tree that originated as a seedling at the Hillier & Son nursery, Ampfield, England, and was released in 1980. No trees are known to survive of this cultivar. The tree is noted for its weak pendulous habit. It is less pendulous than the other Field Maple cultivars 'Pendulum' and 'Green Weeping'."

Aesculus (Carnea Group) 'Pendula'

Status: Rediscovered (Brown, 2023)

Synonym/s: Aesculus × carnea var. pendula A.Henry (1907)

Introduced: 1902 or prior

Distribution: ?

Notes:

Quotes:

"The cultivar was in cultivation in Kew Gardens around 1902. The Kew copy of the 1902 edition of the Hand-list of Trees and Shrubs has a note in pencil reading "not pendulous yet". When specimens from the Carnea Group become older the branches become somewhat pendulous as can be seen from the old specimen next to Kew Palace. It is probable that material from such a tree was propagated and given the name "var. pendula". A similar case can be seen with the name A. hippocastanum 'Laciniata Pendula' which was given to an old specimen with weeping branches. However when grafted these become upright once again. The Kew specimen of 'Laciniata' dating from around 1902 clearly shows those pendulous old branches. It is however not a weeping cultivar as the tips of the shoots grow upright. See also Bean (1914): 168. "

Notes:

Quotes:

"This cultivar was cultivated at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in 1925. There is a herbarium specimen present at Kew which shows an arching branch. Older plants tend to have arching branches and it is doubtfully distinct. There has been some confusion with B. darwinii var. pendula Ahrendt (1949), this was raised by T. Smith in 1932 and is now correctly known as B. Stenophylla Group 'Pendula' but this is definately a different cultivar."

Chamaecyparis 'Fulleri'

Status: Extinct?

Introduced: ? / Last record: ?

Distribution: ?

Notes:

Quotes:

"This clone was selected as a sport of 'Plumosa Aurea' by Andrew Fuller of Ridgewood, NJ in the late 1890's as being more elegant in outline and richer gold in both summer and winter. It was sold by P.J. Berckmans of Fruitland Nursery, Augusta, GA about 1898 and also by Parsons Nursery of NY about that time. While it was known to winter kill in 1898 and 1899 in the north, there is some chance it could still exist in such places as Long Island (where Parsons built many gardens) and certainly the warm haunts of Georgia where the Augusta National Course was formed around the Fruitland operation. It has not been heard of since 1900 when published in the March 1900 issue of Gardening Magazine (US). The plant in the photo there was said to have already been killed in the winter. Since the plant grown as 'Plumosa Aurea' is always considered a Chamaecyparis pisifera, we believe the connection to C. obtusa, especially when viewing the image, is incorrect. The cultivars of these two species were placed under both species names after their introduction from Europe and Asia."

Cornus florida f. rubra 'Belmont Pink'

Status: Extinct?

Introduced: ? / Last record: c.1930 (Hatch, 2012)

Distribution: New York, USA

Notes:

Quotes:

"This clone with pale pink bracts was found around the well-developed area in Belmont, Long Island, NY and has not been reported since 1930 or so. Henry Hicks of the famous Hicks Nursery in Westbury named it about 1930. As a young resident of Long Island c. 1978 your editor (L. Hatch) combed the streets of Belmont NY one spring looking for interesting pink-bracted dogwoods but found nothing of that description, having read Dr. Wyman's and Dr. Howard's comments on this lost clone. The research in 1978 was limited in time and scope so it could be there or even somewhere the Hick's old Westbury operation. Anyone willing to give this a more determined look? "

A yellow leaved form found recently in Luxemburg should be cultivated under a different name as it was found as a chance seedling in the wild."

"A pendulous form, described by Loudon (1844) as “a tree of weeping habit under which the unfortunate Queen [Mary of the Scots] is supposed to have spent many hours […] if it be true that Queen Mary sat under its shade, it must be nearly 300 yrs old”. Probably lost from cultivation; later descriptions of culti-vated plants under that name did not show a weeping habit. Petzold & Kirchner (1864) mention that this form does not differ from an ordinary hawthorn, and Bean (1970) states, that it is “only the ordinary C. monogyna”. It is likely that they have seen only the rootstock."

"This cultivar was cultivated at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew from around 1902 till at least 1925. There is a herbarium specimen at Kew collected in the gardens in 1905. As no description could be found, it is not clear how it differs from the typical 'Pendula'."
