Crassula pyramidalis branching spree

This Crassula pyramidalis plant growing thin stems has lost most of its greenness in favour of various shades of orange, purplish red and even greyish. The abundant recent branching is notable for being of the deepest hues.

Branching may occur anywhere on C. pyramidalis stems, but some stem parts may be favoured for multiple, concurrent branchings.
