Just scored this massive mature jade at an estate sale


Isn’t she beautiful?!! It’s about 3’ without the pot and 4’ with. Currently flowering. I’m in love! Any guesses as to age?

    oh wow, she has to be from around 2000, no?

    That looks a little bigger than my Dad’s jade which was sold at an estate sale as well. I live across the country and couldn’t take it home with me so my mom sold it. It was just over 30 years old, he bought it a couple years after I was born.

    Yours is beautiful and I hope whoever loved it all those years can rest easy knowing it’s in good hands.

    Jade plants are easy to care for but they keep on growing. I got one the same size as yours for free on offerup and now I have 20 more that I propagated and those are almost the same size as the original plant!

    Holy shit this is absolutely incredible.
    How do you make a jade sprout like this?
    I have a small one that’s gotten much bigger and it only has like two branches that come off the main branch !

    (I also took a leaf from it and put it in water and now the leaf is growing roots and I really want to plant it, but I actually might take pictures of it and post on here and see what you guys think I should do or if it’s gonna work)

    To answer your question about age. It may be 10+ yrs. Mine was already 5+years when I got it and it has been 5 yrs since I got it and its the same size you mentioned. The cuttings I used to propagate don’t have such thick stems but they are as tall.
