Gollum Jade - Crassula ovata ‘Gollum’
A curiosity form of the common jade plant, ‘Gollum’ trades flat paddle leaves for upright tubular fingers, each tipped with a concave red-rimmed cup. Grown for silhouette rather than flower, a well grown Crassula ovata of this form thickens into a miniature gnarled tree and reads as living sculpture beside a doorway. Like all jades it wants heat, grit and a degree of neglect.
Why Gollum Jade
Tubular Foliage: Finger-like leaves with flared, red-edged tips give a texture nothing else in a dry garden matches.
Sculptural Framework: Stems thicken and branch into a stout woody trunk, so the plant improves structurally every year.
Water Storage: Leaves and stems hold their own reserves, carrying it through long dry spells untouched.
Container Performance: Restricted roots suit it, which is why it holds condition in pots for many years.
Cool Season Flowers: Clusters of small white to pale pink stars open through late autumn and winter on mature plants.
Ideal Applications
Entry Pots: A matched pair either side of a door, where the branching outline is seen against a wall.
Gravel and Rockery Beds: Planted among stone with other succulents and no irrigation.
Poolside Planting: Almost no litter and complete tolerance of reflected heat off paving.
Low Water Courtyards: A structural evergreen for small paved spaces that bake in summer.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 0.5 to 0.7m for a low informal succulent border
Spacing (feature/avenue): 1 to 1.5m, or grown singly in a pot
Best Planting Season: Spring to early autumn, into warm soil
Soil & Drainage: Sharply drained gritty or sandy soil. Heavy wet ground and cold winter wet cause stem and root rot.
Establishment Care: Water sparingly after planting and let the soil dry right out between waterings rather than keeping it damp. Use gravel or scoria mulch instead of organic material, and keep it pulled back from the stem.
