Five Unknown Hawaiian Crotons

[Dypsisdean]

I only have a few Crotons - only because the availability in nurseries here is relegated to the five most common I see everywhere.

These are a few we saw along side the road several years ago, and took some cuttings. These are probably common ones as well. But I thought I would post and see if you guys knew what any of them are.

ID #1


ID #2


ID #3


ID #4


ID #5

ID#2 looks like Disraeli

Please mail me a large cutting of ID#1 so that I can properly ID it It looks great

I was hoping I might have something unusual. #1 is one of my favs - as it is quite a brilliant color - but a little on the slow side. But looks as if it is finally established - only been in the ground a couple of years.

Nice to see you posting here, Dean. I love the colors on #1 also, although #5 is pretty colorful also. I agree that #2 resembles Mrs. Snyder Disraeli, but the leaves seem a bit more upfacing? Probably just hasn't acquired it's mature habit yet. #3 Looks a lot like Piecrust but doesn't have the undulations on the edges that give that cultivar its name. I also think #7 is a good match for Pinocchio, but could use a little more light?

Thanks Anna,

I just got word that #5 was from seed - so I guess we get to name it.
