Jade with small leaves

11 years ago

This small-leaved jade has been grown from a tiny cutting (I think) that I don't remember where it came from. It is more red in summer, but overall, not just tips of the leaves. I never see any green-gold color as suggested for Crosby's Compact.
I don't know if the leaves are small just because it is in very small pot (2.5") & it may grow into a 'regular' jade - as the one next to it.

Here is the same plant outside, last summer. Red over all.
(excuse the photo 'quality'...)

Sort of looks like mine I have in bonsai pot, I would say Crosby's Compact.

Looks like a Crosby's to me too, but the larger one doesn't so I don't think you have a cutting of the big plant. Crosby's have rounder leaves and darker colours. Here's mine a while ago....

Sorry to confuse. The large one is there only for leaf size comparison, I didn't root small one from it.
I hope that it is Crosby's, I was just wondering about it since it never had any of that green-golden color I see in all photos.

It does look very similar to yours. Is that current photo? or does it loose some of the red in winter?

The color and the way the leaves grow opposite of each other make me think it is a Crosby Compact.

Rina, yes that photo is from this month.
