tastes good, grows fast

Survived in ground over one winter in Seattle under overhang in raised bed. Does not look good however

A mild narcotic used for anxiety, nausea and as an appetite stimulant, among other things. Shorter and denser growth habits then sativa. Can be refined into hash or hash oil. Can be worth 10 - 20 usd a gram when properly prepared

If stung by plant the spores of the western sword fern can be rubbed on area to relieve pain.
Mud also relieves pain

Very Very VERY BAD STING from walking into plant. Avoid at all costs. Much worse then nettles. Grows in stream beds in cascades has hairy stems and undersides of leaves. 1 to 4 feet tall.

needs more shade than most succulents

the trunk can be scorched with torch to get smooth trunk

seems to handle cold down to freezing for short times

you can grow a crosbys compact jade out of a leaf cutting of hobbit or gollum jade.

the leaves seem to go to more jade normal in some lights

these plants grow in wheeler county Oregon

In regard to Sedum burrito, it’s a complex issue, but here’s probably more than you need to know about it. The plant was described formally in 1977 as Sedum burrito, a distinct species, by Reid Moran who was a noted authority on New World Crassulaceae. However, the description was based on plants that had been bought several years earlier, one at a nursery in Guadalajara, another in a little town near the purported habitat, so it’s true that no wild collection data exists. It’s worth mentioning that Sedum morganianum the other ‘Donkey Tail’ sedum, was also described (in the 1930s) from cultivated material in the same town, wasn’t seen in the wild even anecdotally until the 1970s, and only found definitively in 2006 I believe. Lately some people have begun calling burrito a hybrid, but the big question is with what — one parent would have to be Sedum morganianum, but no satisfactory suggestions about the other parent as far as I know. I’ve vacillated between calling it a variety of morganianum and a form, but variety without habitat data isn’t any more valid than species lacking data. It could be called cv. ‘Burrito’ but cultivars are supposed to refer to material selected out in cultivation, which is not the case either. Burrito, however, isn’t a horticultural name, it was published validly as such, just a sort of quirky name. If I were writing about it (I mention it briefly in passing), I would say it’s a plant of currently imprecisely determined taxonomic status, and go on calling it either Sedum burrito or Sedum morganianum cv. ‘Burrito’ and leave it at that. It’s surprising how many species floating around have never had their localities discovered; some have been in cultivation for so long that the info is just lost, others were described say 150 years ago and have never been rediscovered. Keeps things interesting.
