Any Idea what this is? I have rooted it successfully, with new plantings flowering alread as shown here.
Anyone Recognize this plant?
This is a shot of a full grown tree from which I took the cuttings to root.
Looks like Jatropha integerrima, but I didn't know it got to tree size, always thought it was a large shrub. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/2447/
ecrane,
Thankas, that looks like it!
I've been told there are different genetic strains of integ., and from seed they form a tree. All I can tell you is that we have a large tree and lots of bushes at our house which the butterflies love. However, I am not 100% convinced this is intergerrima. JP, are the flowers pink? There is a variety called 'rosea', and I have also seen slight variation in the leaf shape from variety to variety.
My leaf shape is not highly regular like I see in most of the pictures. Mine have random side points on many but not most leaves. However, there are a couple of pictures (e.g., http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=1016641 )that have this feature, so I am going with the ID. I would call the flowers red, though an expert might say "deep pink".
Cool. If it ever forms any seed pods, please let me know.
