Comments (3)Sorry, I'm not sold. I know that this plant can look somewhat like what you're showing...but I believe it is Crassula ovata. (the front, larger, green one). I don't see the leaf shape or the slightly off set of the leaves that Crassula nudicaulis v. platyphylla would have. But...I could be wrong...as I have been in the past. Flowers would tell. =) Show me those (down the road)...make a believer out of me! :D...See MoreGraft and Corruption
Comments (11)Thanks for the compliments Ethan! With citruses, I have just about 60-n-1. All publicly available UCR blood orange budwoods I have them on one tree. Plums, about 4 dozen on one tree, Apricots I have about 2 dozen cultivars in one tree. Peaches, and nectarines just a dozen. Apples, pears, quinces, I lost count. Persimmons I have 43 cultivars on one tree while most Californians believe there are only 2 kinds of persimmons. Well, bearstate, the fruitsaladtree folks don't take it to the extremes. They don't even have apples, quinces, asian pears and european pears grafted together. Well as far as corruption goes, I have grafted 5 genera together and 7 distinct species, but actually the total number of distinct cultivars on the tree is 24. Here's the listing of species and their genus that were all grafted together: Crataegus crusgalli, Eriobotrya japonica, Malus domestica, Cyodonia oblonga, Pyrus serotina, Pyrus beautifolia, Pyrus pyrifolia Similarly, I have grafted all known stone fruit types that I can find in my yard: almonds, peaches, nectarines, peach almond, apricots, sweet cherries, sour cherries, pluots, plumcots, apriums, peachcots, peach plums, cherry plums, Asian plums, native American plums, Russian plums, gages, mirabelles, prunes, other european plums which are more than a dozen distinct species and interspecific hybrids, for a total of about 48 cultivars in one tree. Not counting the various interstock themselves. For one thing, both the Krymsk 1 and Krymsk 5 rootstocks can be excellent interstock for grafting apricots and cherries together in one tree as an example. Just the krymsk 1 and 5, you will be able to graft almost every stone fruits out there together. I STILL HAVE TO FIND a specimen where a stone fruit is grafted together with a pome fruit on one tree, yes they belong to the same rose family but haven't ran across one live specimen that have both of these types. Citruses belong to a different family altogether, and so wouldn't easily believe if someone has reported that they grafted apples and citruses together. I may believe an apple and nectarine grafted together through several series of interstocks, but not citruses together with either pomes or stones. But it shouldn't be far too distant that it could be done one day, it just needs time, as there is no monetary gain to be had in any of these feats. When doing multi-grafts, you have to constantly do it to keep your tree balanced. Graft over the weaker cultivars unto the vigorous cultivars. It is like pruning, and not that complex to do. For me, pruning and grafting is the same effort. The longest time that consumes me is where to graft, not the grafting or pruning operation itself....See MoreKitchen paint color advice
Comments (2)I think you have several options, all of them lovely. If you wanted to stay with complimentary yet different, Jersey Cream would be a great choice. (I love that color!) Yes, it's one more color, but it's neutral enough that it'll blend with everything else rather than standing out as a brand-new color. This would be my first choice. I think Blonde also would work nicely, assuming it plays nice with your cabinets & whatnot. My thought is that one more room of Humble Gold might be overpowering, but that's totally a personal preference thing because I tend to like golden shades in smaller doses. My one concern with the whole scheme -- is Quietude too gray/cool with the rest of your colors? Every other color in your home has quite a bit of warmth. I think a shade of blue is a nice departure from the rest & adds interest, but make sure you're choosing a shade of blue/green with a bit of warmth and with similar undertones. (Yes, it IS possible to find a warmish blue!)...See Morebettym_grow
