Hi fellow plant detectives: This tree was surplus inventory donated to the Master Gardeners plant sale when a local tree farm closed. I looked at an old price list of the tree farm and found very few trees that were the same price that this was originally marked. Lots of pines, palms, and other trees that this one isn't, but the one it could be is : Pouteria campechiana Here is a link that might be useful:

I realize this is a very old post, but figured I'd say...it's a species of Senecio.

Welcome that is a very nice looking plant you have. I agree with Jan, it's a carnosa. I have one like it that I got from my husbands aunt about 30 years ago and they do get huge and do best if not fussed over to much. Mine is as tall as me and in a 14" pot. As for repotting it I would suggest you leave it on the trellis or support it's on and that will make it easier to handle. Several years ago when I put mine into the larger pot I wanted to get it onto a larger trellis so I took on the task of untwining the vines and stretched them all out on my patio and wound them onto the larger trellis one at a time so it can be done that way but it's very time consumeing. I wouldn't go to large on the pot since they bloom better when pot bound. Jo

YouÂve got that right, CatNTree, it is confusing! YouÂre the first one that mentioned it looks like blight. I feel strongly we donÂt have any spider mites as IÂve checked foliage and cannot see any signs of pests. We amended the soil last year only when we created the bed adding Oma-Gro, a couple bags of sheep doo doo and some worm castings. Nothing this year because I felt it was rich enough soil. I did not fertilize when planting and have only used a foliar spray once which consisted of Neptune fish emulsion/seaweed kelp dissolved in water (per package directions) and sprayed onto the foliage. I think it was about an eighth cup emulsion to a gallon of water but would have to check to be sure. Goose Creek has no webbing. None of the plants do in fact I watered them by hand yesterday morning and kept thinking how odd that they look so healthy above the brown dead leaves and I think they may even look a bit improved except for the dead brown stuff because there is such strong green growth from the tops. They are really huge plants, most of them. I also noticed a lot more green balls than IÂd thought had already set on and was pretty happy about that especially since Carolyn told me with these high temps weÂve been having the fruit set doesnÂt happen. That was good info as I didnÂt know it. farkee  the truckload of Oma-Gro was for this bed only. It was my neighborÂs pickup truck and was a cheaper way of buying it than by the bag which can be expensive. We tilled the soil first as deeply as possible and then added the Oma-Gro to the top few inches and tilled it again. As for drainage I suppose that could be a consideration because this garden sits at the bottom of a hill in my back yard and we didnÂt think about sitting water there after a torrential rain. That hasnÂt happened often but it did for a few days early on because we got pelted. I still think it drains pretty well for its location and generally the soil even with the clay content is crumbly. Everywhere else weÂve planted things the drainage is quite good but I will check on that. We have started to get the dead foliage off and they sure look funny. I also noticed while watering that the stems (stalks?) all look very healthy with no discoloration or spotting so IÂm still stumped. At the risk of sounding like an idiot could this at all be due to not enough water? I mean, if it is not soaking in evenly throughout the bed would the plants look like this if they didn't get enough water?
