I've never seen a jade with leaves this big. Is it a variant, or just steroids??

Definitely a jade. It could be a Hobbit, or even Gollum. Maybe Shrek’s Ears? All three as far as I know have leaves like that. And humongous leaves, with such a great green color!
It’s Crassula ovata ‘Horn Tree’, which has the largest leaves of the Tolkien group. This one probably had been grown in very “kind” conditions (i.e. plenty of water and some shade) which is why the leaves are larger, longer, and less compact. Fertilizers could be involved to but for the most part this is just the result of the specific variety and the aforementioned conditions.
I want it. Please, where is it? I love the ears.
WOAH! That’s a chonk!
