Im no expert with making calls with jades, but that looks like a common Crassula ovata variegata and definitely not 'Hummel's Sunset'. I'm certain others will respond.

The jade in that picture is definitely not a 'Hummel's Sunset,' I'm sorry to say.

Lucky I didn't order :)

Thanks, Josh and bikerdoc.

I believe that would be considered Crassula 'Tricolor', even though it looks yellow, rather than white. The site is full of misnamed plants! On my phone it says it is Lowe's, doing business as JadePoint Succulents. Really?!?

Rosemarie, I rarely disagree with you, because you are right 99.99% of the time, but that is not the common 'Tricolor.' It is more like Mike's Jade, which is Crassula ovata variegata. The 'Tricolor' was formerly C. obliqua variegata, if I remember correctly.

Hi Xuan, I found 2 websites in the US selling a small Hummel sunset jade...not sure if they will ship to Vietnam though?

Hummel Sunset Jade for sale

Another one

Good luck! Hope you find one...

You are right about this, I found it at the bottom of the website...

Xuan, why are you looking to pay for one when I promised you one?

If you don't want it just e-mail....

Hoping all is well:-) Good to see you.

Mike

Christopher, you are correct. That is not the regular Crassula 'Tricolor'. I'm going by a list over a dozen yrs old. There could have been more named varieties validly published in this time. I don't know where I would find that nowadays. Thanks for the correction!

Pug...I'm currently in the US, visiting my family here. :)

Mike, I'm still waiting for your cutting. I was looking to buy one for a friend in 'Nam.

Are you back from holidays yet?

Xuan

Xuan, this is not related to subject of your post. I'm wondering and have a question; How are you going to bring the Hummel's sunset cutting/plant from US to Vietnam? Does it require a phytosanitary certificate?

Natalia

Well, if you grow the one you get from Meyermike in Vietnam , they you can send your friend a cutting.

Natalie...I was able to bring some plants from US into Vietnam before without a phyto certificate...so I hope I can do the same this time :)

Wantonamara...since I don't know how long it might take for Mike's cutting to grow so I wouldn't want to promise the friend a cutting.

Xuan

Thanks for the answer Xuan :) The reason I ask is because perhaps I have to do the same thing but to a different country not too far from yours. Did you bring the plant in your checked luggage? I guess it's impossible if we bring it in our carry on luggage/ bag. Good luck :)

Spray your plants with bug juice so they are not carrying little friends. and my mom always told me that the best way to smuggle plants in is to put it in ones hat band amongst some fake flowers. She was a hoot and a half. works with large jewels too. Back in 1960 , she smuggled out a bunch of jewels from Burma stuck on her hat and got them into the country. It paid for a remodel of her house. She was a gardener also.It does work best if you are a woman.

Wantonamara...When I went back to VN in 2007 I had a piece of check-in luggage and a carry-on full of plants. I grew them while I was visiting here and wanted to bring them home with me. The US Customs did not care what was taking out, and the customs officers at "home" didn't mind either :)

I believe you don't have to hide them going out of the US, but going in is a totally different story - everyone knows!

Once you're in your "home" country...as you speak the language, you might find a way with local authorities, I'm sure :)

Xuan

Thanks for the info. I always wondered as much. I too may try to send out of the U.S. I wonder what the penilties would be? Just the loss of plants?
I ordered from Indonesia and lost the whole package in U.S. customs. I was asked to file a police report to get my money back. I let it go. I didn't want to make waves so to speak.
