I've seen this stuff all along the Pacific Coast from Southern California USA to Southern California MX. We treat it like a toxic substance because of its ready cloning from bits of leaf or stem, and we remove literally tons of it every year. A "crop" that carries its own toxic herbicide which "rounds up" everything that the native animals could survive on.<br /><br />I generally enjoy your blog, but felt I had to squawk about this one! <br /><br />Respectfully<br /><br />Mike ArmstrongAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06207196921145607153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-43365994586552568112018-05-28T17:39:35.185-04:002018-05-28T17:39:35.185-04:00Really?

It crowds out poor little native plants and provides no food for native animals.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788537946651767372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-70669730635895171562015-07-05T17:39:25.883-04:002015-07-05T17:39:25.883-04:00Interesting.

It's one thing when the tender little thing graces a fancy plate in a chic restaurant and quite another when you try to use it at home. Somehow it just doesn't translate. And I do have that other iceplant, it graces, or shall I say disguises the the cover of the septic tank...Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-88934294206696997412015-07-01T22:13:23.049-04:002015-07-01T22:13:23.049-04:00What an interesting looking plant - I really like ...What an interesting looking plant - I really like succulents & am thinking that that one would look great in a shallow container with other succulents. For some reason, it never occurred to me that you could grow a succulent from seed.
