WTF ?

[Moose]

I have this one tagged as "WTF". Mike (Bullwinkle) gave it to me and some other croton lovers. I dug a very wide hole when planting with plenty of soil acidifying amendments. It is starting to take off - the mild winter did hurt either.

Many have seen this croton. No one has stepped up to offer an ID. Something in my gut suspects this may be another un-named Davis hybrid.

Its hard to tell by the photo, the leaves mature to some beautiful pastel pinks when colored up. Gotta air layer on this baby for the auction!

"WTF" is a "tongue in cheek" acronym I assigned to my plant until a historical name is discovered.

Ron,

What makes you think it may be a Davis croton?
