I know Fragarioides is meant to be closely related to Clavata but this one came with both names on the label along with R&Y1986, it was much smaller when I bought it, still only in a 6.5cm pot but it doesn't look like Fragarioides to me.

It won't grown like that Stuart. It's really etiolated and needs much more light. Perhaps also the problem with not knowing the full range of variation within the species. Here are examples from 3 different populations;
R&Y1986 Klein Bloemfontein
Oshoek
Driefontein

See www.conophytum.com for ca.4000 photos and growing info on Conophytum, Crassula & Adromischus.
Many Chinese takeaways / restaurants have big ones - probably something to do with the name Jade Plant (and Money Plant!), but I'm not sure which is cause and effect!
I have a really old/large crassula gollum, that was part of a rescue collection, it was covered in mealie & very few leaves when I rescued it, it still has the odd mealie but is a great plant and I'm glad it didn't end up at the tip.

varied collection of succulents and cacti but I especially like Euphorbia's, Ariocarpus and variegated agaves.
