Dr. Lin Yu Tang

[junglegal]

I got this as a small air layer from Phil at last falls auction. This one has been really fast and an excellent grower. I believe this is from an old sunken gardens plant. Can someone add this pic to the WIKI? It's not recognizing my password for some reason. Thanks

Nice plant Bren and fast growing.

...and there will be at least one in the 16-July auction

Curious if this croton was named after this gentleman?

Moose - unless you know of a different Lin Yu Tang, that's the guy! This cultivar takes a lot of sun to develop any color.
