Abstract:Cerasus conradinae, which belongs to the genus Cerasus and the family Rosaceae, is endemic to China and widely distributed. It is an excellent resource for Cerasus germplasm innovation and has very high development and utilization value. ‘Jinxiu’ was selected from a mutant single plant in the wild C. conradinae community in Guantangyi Town,Chibi City, Hubei Province. The first generation and second generation grafting were carried out in January of 2016 and 2017 respectively.Through observation and comparison, the characters of grafted seedlings were found consistent and stable. New variety authorization was obtained in June 2021 (new plant variety right number: 20210197).The leaf edge of this variety is wrinkled obviously, with significant glands often secreting mucus. The inflorescence is corymb comprised with 5-12 flowers which are single, 5 petals, light purple pink, open widely, flowering in mid and late March. The variety can grow tall and rapidly, with dense and fragrant flowers. Moreover, it has a wide adaptability, and thus is well worth developing.
