Curious abut IDs

9 years ago

Hello,

I have been rather curious as of late what kind of aloe and crassula I might have since I have peeked in many posts asking their IDs (very popular plants I suppose). I have had mine for my whole life, I would say they are "family" plants.
Here they are:

Thank you for all your help.

Looks like Crassula ovata & Aloe arborescens to me.

I agree about Crassula Ovata, but my Aloe is tree like, but she doesn't get that big and I have never seen her flower :(

I agree with both IDs by RoRo. This arborexcens is tree-like (hence its species name), but it a short tree - this turns into a nearly-impenetrable hedge of Aloe about 5' tall.

I am sorry for a bit of silence on my part, but getting ready to take dad for an operation next week took some time. I checked more information about Aloe Arborescens and yeah, I see you are both right. I was looking at photos were they grew in "wild" so that threw me off a bit. Thank you for IDs :)
