Pyracantha plant named ‘Cadvar’

Abstract

A new and distinct white-flowered Pyracantha plant is provided that is a spontaneous whole plant mutation of the ‘Cadrou’ cultivar (non-patented in the United States). The new cultivar readily forms white flowers and red berries and can be readily distinguished from the ‘Cadrou’ cultivar by presence of attractive variegated leaves. A broad-bushy to flat-bushy growth habit with robustness and abundant branching commonly is displayed. Good resistance to scab and fire blight is provided to the grower. During observations to date less fructification than the ‘Cadrou’ cultivar has been noted.

1. A new and distinct  Pyracantha  plant that is a spontaneous whole plant mutation of the ‘Cadrou’ cultivar having the following combination of characteristics:
 (a) forms attractive variegated foliage unlike the ‘Cadrou’ cultivar,  
 (b) forms white flowers and red berries commonly with less fructification than the ‘Cadrou’ cultivar,  
 (c) displays good resistance to scab and fire blight, and  
 (d) commonly exhibits a broad-bushy to flat-bushy growth habit with robustness and abundant branching;  
 
       substantially as illustrated and described.
