It's Crassula 'Purple Haze', isn't it?

(You know, 'Excuse me while I have some pie')

Chris, I think it's not so special as to warrant a cultivar name, but others may think otherwise. It looks like it's getting light and not too much water, as well as heat, and is growing like a champ. My occidental side, along with my oriental side, finds the chopstick action most delightful.

'I have never heard of 'Purple Haze' tell me about it please. Now that Jeff gave me a hint I must go and look to see what I have that looks like it. If it is a hybrid what do you think the parents could be? Norma

Norma,

That name's an figment of my imagination. It seems that a proliferation of names is at hand and I am very unprepared for the nomenclatural pirates from boarding the ship.

Howdy, Christopher!
You have a nice variety there. I don't know if it has a special name, but it is distinct.
It's a compact Jade, for sure, though it's given to a droopy tendency...even with ample sun and support,
this Jade goes long and then sags. Prune it judiciously and it'll hold a nice form.
Eventually, it develops a tight brown trunk!

My sister has a pot full of this Jade, and I started a cutting from her plants. I also sent a rooted cutting
to Meyer Mike, so that he could represent this plant on the East Coast! ;)

What can I say? Prune it, and keep pruning it!

Here's my cutting, December 2008:

If my memory serves me, (and often it refuses to do so) my plant was a cutting of a plant I got with the dreaded glued-on rocks on clearance at, forgive me, a grocery store. The original plant died on me even after extricating it from its rocky imprisonment. The smaller stems in the photo are cuttings I took from this cutting which I just stuck in the pot which seem to have rooted easily. Hope the stem fattens up on me, I hate a skinny fat plant.

Did someone say 'Pie"? Make mine rhubarb.

Christopher

...and make mine strawberry-rhubarb ;)

Josh

Even better!

It seems, from searching on the web and what I have learned on GardenWeb, my Jade is not as common as I casually supposed it was.

Now I am getting a renewed interest in Jades, thanks to classy Crassulaic people here like Norma and Josh. I guess this is quite fitting, as my first plant purchase was a Jade, when I was 9!

Christopher

Stay thirsty, my friend! ;)

And if you find a name that suits this Jade, let me know!
I assume it's a compact, as in Crosby's, showing some cultural variation.
I'd love for it to be rare, however....

Josh

Thanks Josh!

Now let's all have some pie!
