I remember the photo of yours when they were much smaller, it is incredible how they have grown, Gill.

Here is one of my two from cuttings...

Margaret, how nice yours looks in the sun, sadly we had little of that today! As I mentioned, I didn't realise their potential leaf size. I'm surprised yours is green now.

Christopher, yours is also showing some good colours too, very distinctive.

Gill UK

Very nice!

Well, mine is mostly green at the moment, but I don't feel so bad now.

Yes, the leaves are much larger than my standard 'Hobbit' Jades.

Josh

And mine after winter

But I force it to be green now.

Oksanas, hello. Yours is very different to mine isn't it? It's a much lighter colour overall and quite similar to Margaret's, while mine has more of Christopher's colours. Any more red horns out there?

Gill UK

My plant was obviously in a greenhouse in the South of France and very quickly lost its colour. It maintained some during the summer, much muted, and is now like a very large-leaved Hobbit. I have another one too, that was much bigger and a little less colourful and came from UK and I took a lot of cuttings for friends from this - (one or two only came from the French clone) ; it also is green now. We need more sun ! At the same time, I have a Hummel's Sunset that is still bright gold after the summer, while other HSs have reverted already to green. These plants are individuals, no doubt.

Gill

no, mine doesn't different from yours. Pink flavonoids appear in acid medium at lower temperatures. Also the leaves must contain sufficient quantity of magnesium. But they not must contain too much iron.

Oksana.

Mike, that's a double bonus! Not only do you have a true 'Red Horn Tree' TREE, but you have a Maruba plantlet growing, too!

Here's my much smaller and much less colorful 'Red Horn Tree.'

Josh

Here's mine. It fell over this spring and the whole top broke off. It was while I was sick. All I got left was the stump. It grew back some but was only green. Hearing about all those turning green this time of year makes me hope it will color up again this summer.

Ben, Ben, are you around???

Ben, do you remember when you sent Andrew and I a cutting? I think that is when the Red Horn first found it's way here...Believe it or not, that tree was the cutting you sent me of less than an inch high! Andrew kept the bigger one and here you go thanks to you.....Can you believe how big it got..Do you remember what year you sent it? I never marked it down(

Stush, absolutely beautiful!! How did you keep the color for so long? Is it under lights? Great job I am glad you are feeling better and hopefully things will go better for you...E-mail me will you sometime and catch me up)

Josh, yours may be lacking color but it sure is healthy and you seem to have no problem getting your jades to flower though..

I wonder if these rare Jades even flower? I have yet to see any flower

Oksana, thanks for the explanation, it makes sense.

Mike, fantastic looking 'proper' tree there. It will be good if you can find out what age it is too.

Josh, your tree appears to be at the stage where it's trunk is developing nicely and it will soon be caching up with Mikes.

Stush, yours are soooooo compact! Mine are similar in that they are still leafy all the way down to the soil level. Just to clarify, are those the snapped off portion and the stump that was left behind, or is it two views of the same plant, I can't quite make my mind up? Whatever, it/they look good :)

Gill UK

Thanks, Mike and Gill!

Gill, early in the season, all the leaves were burned off my plant. Thus, more of the trunk and branches were exposed. All the leaves you see now are new growth from the Summer. It opened up the plant, but I like the look. The trunk on this one is developing nicely, indeed.

Josh

Mike, i have send you the original cutting in spring 2011 ... so it is only 4 and a half year ... wow

Ben, thank you buddy for that! I can't believe how fast this Thread moved since I was sick..YIKES!

Mike, I have a question for you, little Maruba at the base of Red Horn tree grows out of the barrel, or you put it there?

Andrey, a Maruba leaf fell into the Red Horn container and rooted there.

Josh

Andrey. Josh is right! It was just a leaf of all things.. I don't know what to do with it since I have no room for any more plants...I will have to remove it soon.)

Josh, thanks for keeping up here..Boy, have I been out of the loop. Looks like some catching up to do. I hope your well these days)

Hmmmm..... I see Stush's plant is labelled E. T.'s Finger.... Is that recognized as they same as Red Horn Tree? Or is there some naming confusion here? I have a similar looking plant labelled as ET's Fingers, but have not had it long enough to have it colour up in summer...hmmm

Breton2,

It was labeled E.T.'s Finger variegated, not the same as just E.T.'s Finger. And there is a lot of name confusion at the big box stores and nurseries.

As for the plant. What you see was what it used to look like. It was just a stump at soil level. It grew back as all green. I take no credit as for how great the plant used to look like. That was how I purchased it.

Mike,

Good to hear from you. I was very bad off but now I'm better than ever. Hope all is well with you and mother.

Stush

Ah, thanks Stush! Guess I got a little too excited and caused my own name confusion!

Stush, privately e-mail...I have been wondering about you..Let me know how things have been going, please..Glad to see you too)
