Narrative
From Dr. Donglin Zhang, University of Georgia, who collected cuttings from Lishui University campus, Lishui, Zhejiang, China. The name under which the accession was received appears to be abbreviated from 'Zhonghuahongye', which was apparently officially named 'Zhonghong' later. It was discovered in 2000 at the Henan Academy of Forestry in Shangqiu, Henan Province, China as a reddish-leaved (or purple-leaved) bud-sport of Populus deltoides 'Zhonglin-2025'. Both this cultivar and its sport-parent are often listed as cultivars of Populus x euramericana (=P. x canadensis, correctly), but 'Zhonglin-2025' has been tested and confirmed to be pure P. deltoides. Further accession note: "our has a chimeral sport/ photographed it (black/green); in the same catalog as the variegated catalpa". [NOTE: as of May 2024, it does not appear that this plant has ever exhibited the strong foliage color that is supposed to characterize the cultivar, and it is likely a reversion due to an unstable chimera (Kevin Conrad indicates that it has never shown strong purple/red coloration at any point).]
