Ron,
Thanks for the great article. Jades have been my plant of choice for ever.I have others now, thanks to the great people on this forum for showing photos of their great plants.
Sharon

There are much better articles out there.
The nomenclature in the link is out of date, as well.

Jade plant is Crassula ovata.

Josh

And why would they go there if they're here, with some of the finest C. o. farmers in the world participating? If it can't be answered here, can it be answered anywhere? Questions, questions, I know, but I have to ask.

Thanks Josh. Sorry to butt in with an inferior web site! I'll refrain in future from posting any helpful information. I'm just learning. Only been in horticulture as amateur and pro for 45 plus years!

This is just for clarity, it is not being rude to state facts, is it? I am sure Josh did not have that intent.

Jade is Crassula ovata. And the Poinsettia to my knowledge is not a succulent. Just the facts, no personal opinion here.

Christopher

That jade name is still being debated as to which is right - check the facts. And if he has better sites then he should post them. He made a statement without backing it up with the web sites. I'm just posting facts. Besides I never said he was rude. Re-read my post before passing judgement!

Ron,

You can't take that sort of thing to heart here, and if you had been reading Josh's posts, you'd know he's* not like that.

*There is the little matter that he's right

Wow, that took a wrong turn quick.


*CG*

One word.....'Crasuula'

But the care information is good - much better than what one would usually find, but still not as good as the information Josh dispenses.

I asked a question only, not passing judgement. We come here to escape the real world, not to get annoyed; speaking for myself, anyway, not anyone else.

Christopher

This is quite a nice one, IMHO.

Christopher

Here is a link that might be useful: The Crassula Page

Ron,
Thanks for the link. I'm always looking for more information. I book marked the site, and will continue to read some of the articles.
Chris,
I too come here to escape. I enjoy the quiet that my plants provide. Thanks for posting the provided link also.

There are better articles/pages out there, such as the one Christopher posted.
And the nomenclature *is* out of date on the page linked in the first post.

Jeff and Chris, thanks for the support. Much appreciated.

Josh

Josh:

Thank YOU for sharing your substantial knowledge and enthusiasm for Crassula ovata on the forum.

Christopher

Josh, you are the Jade whisperer as my Mom put it!

You have taught me and many I know so much about these special plants and always in such a kind manner! You're the best.

Mike>-)

You guys are making me blush...seriously.... ;)
Jades are the wonderful plants that convinced me to begin a personal collection....
who can deny those grey, elephantine legs?!

Josh

When you say it like that you make me want to pack my podium and tear a stretch up, preaching The Good Word everywhere.

What's The Good Word? Let me hear you

{{gwi:687318}}

Yes

{{gwi:67599}}

Say it again

{{gwi:105266}}

One more time

{{gwi:704151}}

Hallelujah! ;-)
Now that's one gnarly trail I'd like to tromp...!

Josh

The good word is,what a plant lover wouldn't do for a couple gnarly,big elephant looking legs. A dream come true.
Sharon

As long as the elephantine legs are on a plant, and not the significant other, I am all for them!

Christopher

Both good sites that i bookmarked

Hey Jeff,

Is that lovely pic under the word 'yes' from your own former GWOJ... that's one GREAT shot. Make a nice screensaver/ wallpaper, don't ya think? B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L.

K

K,

Thank you and yes, yes it is from the GWOJ. I'll try it now and see how it fits on the 26" and let you know. Thanks for remembering, I was just thinking of asking a resident of that fair ville to get a stump for me - at least 6" wide, but preferably 8-10".

I wish I had a similarly-liked picture of the bark, however - that's what I've been into lately. I'm seeing if beauty really is skin-deep, see...
