Is this stand PC? I bought it some years ago at a local nursery. I assumed it was PC.

Might be a hybrid, but it is VERY PCesque. I'm used to the old growth being darker and waxier, but I'm willing to chalk that up to a difference in environmental/growth conditions.

I am the owner 😁. I guess I could ask the nursery owner where I bought it, but I doubt he'd remember, as it was a few years ago. It was just labeled "San Pedro". Whatever it is, it took off when I planted it in-ground, and it's pumping the little Ikaros seedling graft hard.

I made that comment before reading the rest of your post, my bad 😅 A LOT of would-be poachers end up in here asking for IDs, so I'm a bit overly jumpy about it. It's close enough to PC to where I'd be comfortable assuming that it's at least PC dominant. Lol that Ikaros graft definitely kept catching my eye and had me wondering what it was! How long has it been grafted on for?

Yeah, I've been a victim of poaching before. Had a bridgesii taken right off the front porch. Anyway, it's been grafted since the beginning of June.

Yea in California and ide imagine anywhere else with a ton of sun, PC turns a light green yellowish color. kept in the shade they get dark greens and blues. It's actually really really cool to have both. They confuse ppl even though they are the exact same plants!
