Cork Bark Jade With Thanks from Leatherback

[leatherback]

Today a little box arrived. @Carol 83 kindly popped some Jade cuttings in a box for me. It should be corky ones... So exciting!

@Carol 83 would be nice to see the barked over mature specimen that has served as a mother!
Naturally, after 2 weeks in a little box they were a little sad. I do hope they root for me and start growing soon!

Good luck and I love me some jade!

 

[Carol 83]

Glad they made it there, I bet they'll root.

 

[Colorado]

I bet they’ll be just fine. Fun project!

I think more people here have Frank Yee P. Afras from @Carol 83 than any other source.

She sent me 3 (and now I have 7, a forest of 10+, and have given a bunch away locally).

They are slow to cork, I think a couple of mine are just starting.

I have 2 varieties growing out this year, one fairly ordinary, the other has a striking pink branch with variegated foliage. They are one of only a handful "easy" desert species. Looking forward to styling next year.

As are you. That lovely ficus Wiiandi you sent me is doing great, love the twisty branches.

Agreed. I will take it up on myself to get cuttings from these once growing strongly (so earliest 2025) and start a wildfire in the EU from these.
They are so rare here.

I have a Frank Yee P. Afras but from a different source. I always have tons of cuttings that I'm giving away. Most of the time more then I can get rid of. I just love these unique plants. I haven't acquired any variegated ones yet. These root easily so shouldn't have any issues with them rooting.

How much does it cost to get a phytosanitary certificate and import licence for plant material to Europe from USA?

I heard rumors of up to ten years, but sure that is not true?

I was quoted 60 USD.
