    OT: shovels

    The shovel you want is sold by Bushel Stop. It's $52, heavy, straight blade, and sharp. It's NOT going to cut roots thicker than 2", though, and you'll want a sharp saw for those.

    A Croton Eye Test

    I agree with Anna. Either AFD #5 or #7. The leaves are too narrow for Clipper.

    Could this be Rosie O'Grady???

    In the ground over 12 years from a 3-gallon of unknown origin. The first two are the plant in deep shade. The second two are of a two or three year old cutting from the original plant. In looking at The Book, this strongly resembles the photo on page 54.
