Thanks, Carol. The photo in your link looks just like it. I will credit you on the webpage.

Linda, I live in Panama City and I haven't been able to find any good succulent nurseries in the area. There is a nursery around Gulf Breeze (near Pensacola) that carries succulents but you have to call ahead for an appointment. From the looks of their website they really only carry Sedums and Sempervivums. As far as having a large jade, I have no idea. Here's there website: http://www.santarosagardens.com/default.asp If you do find a nursery in this area please let me know because I've been searching and searching! I get most of mine from generous people, online nurseries and ebay. ~Erin~

Well, this post has been up for a month and not a single bite. I know you don't want to hear this, but a JM that will look good growing in full sun in the south, let alone florida, is really looking for a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Even in the north, in areas in warmer heat zones, JMs will have bad scorch and look bad at the end of a season. Similarly even in the shade in hot parts of the south, JMs will have visible signs of stress in the best of situations. My advice to you is to be extremely wary of claims of any particular cultivar to thrive in heat or full sun in florida or in the south. Or anywhere. The heat/drought/sun tolerant gene for this species just doesn't exist. The good news is if it's red-purple foliage you're looking for there are some better adapted species to your region. If you don't want to take my word for it then my advice would be not to spend a large amount of money. Try a bloodgood or emperor that's relatively cheap and easy to come by. See how that does. If you can then visualize a 50% increase in performance and find that worth the money, then keep looking for the magic cultivar.

The first one isn't what we call Winged Sumac up in this neck of the woods (Rhus copallinum). Too many leaflets and I don't see any 'wings'. I hesitate to ID things in Florida, because I'm really not familiar with what grows down there, but could it be wisteria? Just a guess The leaves on the second one look a little like peach leaves. (That's the genus Prunus too.) The third one could well be Bradford Pear. The last one I have no idea.
