Need some help with Jade IDs please

8 years ago

Recently bought 2 new Jades, which actually turned out to be 3 plants, and I'm not sure exactly what they are since my only previous Jade is just a standard Crassula ovata. (sorry the plants are dirty, waiting for them to dry off to dust the remaining soil from them).

Is this Gollum or something similar?

These next 2 were smashed into the same pot. Tricolor is my best guess, but I honestly have no idea.

Thanks everyone.

First one is, indeed, a finger Jade...looks like 'Gollum' mostly, with some 'Skinny Finger' or fine finger leaves.

Those second two would appear to be variegated Jades (C. ovata), but not 'Tricolor' to my eye.

Thanks Josh, I wasn't sure on the tricolor at all since I thought that the tri had some yellow in it as well but couldn't find any clear information on it. Thanks again for the input :)

I am going to have to go with natal plum (Carrisa macrocarpa), as well. From my recollection, the fruit of most cotoneaster is grouped together, in bunches, or there is more abundant fruit than natal plum. Leaves don't quite match cotoneaster. Here is a link that might be useful: carissa macrocarpa

TJ, Thanks for the info. I still can't find anything on these under those names, but it's close enough. It will give me some thng to name them. I did find a Juniper Blue Starlight on one of the sites that looks like it. (probably the same, just a new and improved name.) It's funny that, with all the different versions of Conifers, you can never go to one site and find info on them. It's to bad we can't start a picture library with all the different Conifers here. thanks again, Dennis

I'll take a shot #1 - Common Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) #2 - Probably Spicebush (Lindera benzoin). Leaves and fruits should have a lemony smell #3 - Reminds me of Virginia Chain-fern (Woodwardia virginica) but the central axis is greener than I would expect #4 - Would guess Hayscented Fern (Dennstaedtia punctilobula) #5 - Christmas Fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) #6 - A Knapweed (Centaurea sp.) #7 - Bladder Campion (Silene vulgaris)

The one in the first two pics looks like Crassula arborescens undulatifolia. Not sure about the ID for the other two photos, but the plant on the left looks dead. Does it still have some life in it that's not readily apparent in the pics?

Nice jade - Tricolor has some purplish-pinkish color on margin of the leaves if in good sun; and striation is different too:

Thanks for the explanation Rina. Sometimes these cultivars get confusing. Beautiful Jades you have. Is that an Aloe 'Blizzard' back there as well?

Thanks Nicolas. I am not 100% sure about that aloe, it has been ID-ed as A. rauhii. That is one of the babies, I have few of them and the original plant that needs to be divided :) It blooms quite often too:

ps: pls. post ID for the jade if/when you get it!
