Question: What kind of plant is this

  • Question

    What kind of plant is this

    Answer

    Dear mrsdixon2007, your cultivated plant may be a species of jade (in the genus Crassula, the commonly cultivated species is Crassula ovata). The leaves do appear different than the usual form of this plant that is grown indoors (but hopefully this will give you a place to start your study to determine its identity). Go Botany is a website dedicated to wild plants of New England. And while we are happy to entertain all plant questions, those outside of this topic area are not always answerable by us.
