General Marshall

[Jeff Searle]

This beauty was floating around for a brief time a few years ago under the name Pastor Able (of which I think I know who renamed this croton)but is clearly none other than General Marshall. Enjoy....

Here is my General Marshall that I got from Marie Nock at the end of February. It goes into the ground tomorrow.

If General Marshall is situated in a garden getting diffused or dappling of sunshine, nice pink veining should be the result as the leaves "age" like a fine wine ...

Heres mine. It gets some late afternoon sun & is one of my top 10 favorites.

Great plant but not a fast grower.

Ron,

Check your tag name, your plant looks alot like a General Mac, and definitely not a General Marshall. Notice your leaf has a a distinct shoulder, where as my picture and Randy's shows a more straight leaf. These are clearly two different looking crotons.

A few more pics:
1 & 2 Gen. MacArthur
3. Gen. Marshall -lots of new growth here
4. Hot & Steamy - slow but recovering from two lousy winters.

I've got some Gen Mac cuttings that are rooting nicely. These were salvadged from the neighbor's trash. Let me know if anyone wants one or more at the meeting this weekend

My mistake. The tag does say General Marshall but it is in my handwriting. Marie offered to write me a tag but I said I would remember what it is.

Came accross my receipt, it is in fact a General MacArthur. Now I need to find a General Marshallfor the garden. General Marshall looks like it needs more shade than General MacArthur. Is this correct?

Phil - I am sure we can find a loving homes for your rooted General MacArthurs at this Saturday's croton garden tour. Thanks!

Phil. Save me a Gen Mac if you have an extra.

Thanks, Randy

General Marshall is one of my favorite cultivars that I do not have. My quest is to acquire one. They look awesome !

Ron, Acquire 2 and I will take 1 off your hands.

General Marshall is on the Searle Brothers Extravaganza croton cultivar availability list. Perhaps I will get lucky and secure one.

Ron,

I have a few real nice ones waiting for a good home. Of which you clearly have! So, as long as you don't come on sunday, you should be able to get one. Lol

Here's a pic of one purchased about two years ago. Slow and steady and not prone to defoliate in cold wx.

Great colors and a beautiful shape!
