Origin | US |
The tree is distinguished by its high density branching and dwarf to semi-dwarf size, attaining a height and spread of 2.1 × 1.5 m at five years, with a stem diameter of 4.4 cm. The dense, deep green, foliage on numerous branches affords the tree a rich, full, and rounded appearance. The small oval leaves, acute at the apex, are alternate, simple, with serrate to crenate margins, 3.0 cm long by 1.8 cm wide. [1] Growth is slow, averaging 25–31 cm per annum in south-east Texas.
'Prince Richard' has shewn no more or less resistance or susceptibility to diseases and pests which normally afflict U. parvifolia cultivars.[1]
'Prince Richard' has been listed on both U S and European Patent Office sites. The plant is easily propagated by softwood cuttings in a 100% pine bark rooting medium.[1]
