No, Moose. This is from a cutting. The rest of the plant is in very deep shade. I'm going to airlayer it in the spring and move it out into more light.

Randy and I got ours from Bob Saybourn as cuttings. Mine gets a lot of sun, perhaps in the shade it's more red?

Mike - The gorgeous red plant you call Coral Showers looks radically different from mine:

yes

No. Philadelphia.

No, not the last, but certainly the last one this big. We will always have a live tree for Treesmas.

No, Mike. They've all been packed away for next year.

For years we've been giving our live Christmas tree - a Norfolk Island Pine - to friends in Jupiter Farms. Unfortunately, they are now out of room and don't want any more of them. So we have a 12 foot, multi-trunked tree in a 15-gallon can that needs a home. If you have room for this beauty and...

Not a seedling. Purchased from Big Orange Nursery in Boynton Beach at least 10 years ago.

Seedling growing 6 inches from Thea. At least 4 years old. Top picture is Thea's Daughter, bottom is mother and daughter.

A two-year old (plus or minus) seedling that's doing well. Named for Suzi's granddaughter.

This seedling looks very similar to Charmer, which just happens to be planted in two places in close proximity to the seedling. It's about 3 years old and growing fast; much faster than Charmer.

Here's the one in the sun, a year later.

Still growing slowly, but much more red now.

This is the Red Arrow given to me by Jose. Not much red on the leaf margins.

No clue? No one? I see there's already a "Dave McLean No. 93" in the Wiki. So, unless one of the experts can positively identify this one, I'm calling it "Plus or Minus", one of David's favorite phrases.

David gave this Croton to Randy who gave it to me to plant in my garden. Can anyone verify a name for it? If not, I have one in mind.

Amdro does not work on all ants. I use it and still have scale. I also use Beyers 3-1 attached to the hose and I have scale. Randy is correct, the ants are the transport mechanism for the scale, and killing them is certainly going to prevent most new scale. However, you're going to need...

Bren - if you're looking for Crotons, they grow everywhere in Jamaica. Lots of other tropical plants, as well, but you have to be careful not to bring back any pests. Bring home seeds, gray wood cuttings, and bare root pieces that have been carefully washed in soapy water. There's a lot more to...
