Thanks anyway, but answered my own question, its jade vine I am looking for. Anybody on Kauai got some i can take cuttings from ?

Does it grow from cuttings? Maybe you'll have to try seeds (if available) or even buy a plant (if available). Native to Philippines, where deforestation has been terrible during modern times and therefore endangered in the wild.

Found some at Kauai Nursery and Landscaping near Lihue. planted it on the shady side of house so it will grow up a fenc. I'll keep ya all posted as to it's progress.

Mahalo bboy for your response

Hi
look up Strongylodon macrobotrys . Called green jade vine. But i call the color turquoise Another is Mucuna bennettii red jade vine Similar growth habit but brilliant red orange color. Got to be among the world most gorgeous vines . If I lived in Hawaii I'd have at least a dozen of each lol. Both are native to Asia. gary

I tried growing some jade vine a couple times, no luck, died. Too bad, was really looking forward to making some nice leis with them.

We just got some rain and mine (which is still pretty small) flushed out some new growth all of a sudden and the leaves are really pretty.
