Do You Think...

This is C. 'Hummel's Sunset' or a wannabe? I visited a wonderful gentleman with a great commercial greenhouse in Charlotte, Michigan. While he is closed for the season, if you call ahead, he is very accommodating. I don't know if any of you Jade people can give me the answer and I don't know if there are other Jades that can "look" like 'Hummel's Sunset. Anyway, it is a wonderful color and the price was right and in a 7" pot!!!!!

Nice trunk size on that one. Can't help you with the ID, unfortunately.

Yes, that's a 'Hummel's Sunset.' And a nice one, at that!
Other Jades will develop red margins, but not so brilliant and defined as these.

Always a shame about that overhead watering, though.

I don't think it's overhead watering. He just has water high in minerals. A little lemon juice and all will. Be gone.

Pretty sure that's due to overhead watering ;-)
From my experience, water high in minerals manifests as discrete dots secreted from hydathodes;
whereas water high in minerals that is left to evaporate on the leaf surface produces this look.

How long had it been at the nursery? Could have been from the previous grower's nursery.

I have no idea but if I send you some $ on pay pal could you send me a piece? I just got some others from eBay so I'm not too worried about the temps. Please let me know.

Won't be cutting, if at all, until spring. I' be happy to pick up as many as you want. They are $7.50/4"pot. Keep in mind it is against the rules to offer for sale on this forum.
