Description: Crassula ovataSN|18609]]SN|18609]] 'Hummel's Sunset' (Golden Jade Tree) is a stout shrubby succulent with glossy leaves that take on spectacular colours when grown full sun and especially during winter, green with golden yellow and red margins. It is a stunning plant forming a wide, multi-branched shrub or small bonsai-like tree, but it is a little smaller, denser, and more compact than the species, growing slowly only to 60-120 cm tall with leaves about the same size as the common jade plant, Crassula ovataSN|18609]]SN|18609]].
Leaves: Rounded, fleshy, about the same size as the common jade plant, Crassula ovataSN|18609]]SN|18609]]. The leaves have a golden yellow colour and the edges ochre or copper-red, especially during the cooler months of the year.
Flowers: Starry, white with a hint of lavender in a terminal cluster.
Blooming season: Late autumn.

Cultivation and Propagation: It is great for container culture and Bonsai cultivation, and the trunk becomes very thick with age and develops interesting patterns. In the greenhouse use a very draining compost. Plants should be well watered and allowed to dry thoroughly before watering again. Fertilize them once during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer diluted to one half the recommended strength. Prune up with age to reveal stocky trunk. Expect this plant to green for a while after replanting and or when over fertilized. Young plants will quadruple in size in one year only. It need full sun to partial shade. Must over-winter in greenhouse or indoors (with lots of light). During the winter months, plants are watered only enough to keep the leaves from shriveling. The most common reason for failure in growing these plants is overwatering. Seldom has any diseases only the mealy bugs like it, and tend to attack around the primary flowering time (winter to early spring), hardy to -1° C.
Propagation: It is propagated by leaf and stem cuttings. Offsets are readily available and cuttings roots easily, it also propagate by leaf-cuttings and often leaves fallen/broken off will self-sow at the base.
