Crassula beginnings

Recently started work on this C. ovata....reduction from about 24 inches to 12 inches in height....now to let it grow out. Tom

The tree potted up following reduction and now beginning to grow out.

Hello Tom. I've been reading up on Crassula (Ovata, Argentea etc.) and looking for pics e.g. on Jim Smith's nursery sites and other tropical followers. Mostly he, and others, use Portulacaria Afra and I understand why. You seem to have a lot of experience of the Crassulas. I don't want to jump into your thread with my tree, which is 50 years old this year, but if I put it up would you be kind enough to critique/comment on it and the overall techniques you use with Crassula? I don't have progression pics so I'll put it on "Questions". Thank you. Rick.

Sure, Rick....I would very much like to see your tree....
Best regards,
Tom
