Abstract

‘Mosaic Delight’ is a new and distinct variety of albino coast redwood tree characterized by a non-grafted periclinal chimera exhibiting stable albino growth from inside the apical meristem dome. The new variety contains axillary and/or accessory buds forming within the branch collar zone exhibiting phenotypic color expressions ranging from green, albino, chimera or non-chimeric variegation. Occasionally, axillary and/or accessory buds form in the absence of a present branch and can produce color expressions ranging from green, albino, chimera or non-chimeric variegation. Further, the branches demonstrate horizontal to weeping-like habit, and slow to fast growth depending on albinism present compared to other common green redwoods.
