all green leaf croton, Codiaeum variegatum

[Eric in Orlando]

This croton is growing at my mom's house. My parents bought the house when they moved to FL in 1979 and it was growing there then, planted with some other crotons. It has never had any coloring in the leaves, just glossy green. Anyone know if this is a cultivar or is this possibly the wild species type? It is growing in part sun, bright filtered light.

Here is a sport of an all green croton coming off of a eburneum. I'm currently air layering it. Why do I want a all green leaf croton? ??? Why not?

How about an all yellow leaf croton?

Here is a sport coming off a Roosevelt Croton.

Bleached out. I'm going to try to air layer this one as well.

Eric,Dave,

Nice stuff, but I really can't say I have ever seen the totally green leaf croton before. My guess would be that it was a sport off of a totally different plant and like Dave showed us, someone took a cutting of it and this is it. No name, no bells and whistles, but might be of some interest to a croton collector.

Jeff,

Mollucanum is a totally green version of Aureo Maculatum. It's not easy to find but is pretty cool looking when half the plant has spots and the other half doesn't. Dr. Brown is looking for one of these.

Eric,

Many times crotons become totally green if they get shaded too much. Some of the yellow and green varieties especially like bright light and revert to green if not in ideal conditions.
