Gen. Macarthur

[Phil Stager]

here's a good reason why a few leaves or cutting can be difficult to identify. All the pics are Gen Mac - but some in shade and last one in sun...

More great pictures Phil.

Hmmm... could this be a General Macarthur as well?

I'm not too sure, it might be tooooo pretty for a macarthur.

Ricky, yours looks like Marie Dressler.

 

[fawnridge]

Do you have a picture of another Marie Dressler?

Keith has this plant. I'll shoot a photo next time there.

Ray - did you ever get a shot of Keith's plant?

This is a great CV - I just got one for my Birthday!

It's in the link where I took photos at Keith's place.

I had thought at one time this was thought to be Gen. Macarthur. Yes, no? It is one of my larger plants in a 10 gal and about 5' tall.

Bren,

No it's not.

 

[Phil Stager]

Definetely not a Gen Mac. GM has a semi oak leaf shape (and lots of unsusual coloring and patterns depending on light). Once you see a larger specimen then the whole thing starts to make some sense.

General MacArthur has been a relatively fast croton for me. It is a beauty that catches one's eye from across the yard.

One of the easier to locate cultivars and for good reason. Relatively fast, large leaves with brilliant colors. What is not to love about a nicely hued General MacArthur?
