Hello GW,
I got this plant a few days ago, and have been trimming it up to my liking over the past couple of days. I have it outside, and we recieved a large amount of rain 2 nights ago and last night, and with how horrible the soil looked in the pot it was in I thought I better transplant it a little earlier than anticipated because I didn't want to risk root rot. I put together Al's gritty mix and put this Jade into a 14" terra cotta pot. I think it looks wonderful and I am very excited for it to enjoy its new home :). It was pretty hard to clean up the roots as the dirt was caked on very well, but I think I did a great job at removing as much of the dirt as I could with picking around and using the hose. I plan on doing pruning once new growth starts taking off again and I see that it has taken to the new mix. I figured I'd leave on what is there to help with the transplanting process. Let me know what you all think. Here is a before and after picture to get the idea of what I did with this wonderful plant. I have a lot of cuttings if anyone is interested I'd just request that you pay for shipping and I can send you as many cuttings as you want. Some are pretty large. Enjoy :)

Nice job pulling a shape like that from the jumble of branches. Does it still look good at other angles? |

i really like your work. that plant is going to look great! i can't wait to see it in a year or two. |
Actually, I'd have reduced it much more than you did. I think the plant would have MUCH more impact if it was about 1/2 the ht it is in the second picture (from the soil line). Al |
You did a great job! Looks very nice! I see what Al is saying (I did that with Jades and my Desert Rose)..."pugged" it or really (whacked)it. It is a very scary thing to do, cutting off that much. I was afraid I might have killed it it,lol...but it looked great once it leafed out and filled in. I don't blame you for not wanting to take too much off all at once. Best of luck! |
That's a really nice plant! I agree with Al. I'd cut it some more, and root all of the cuttings. |

- Posted by paracelsus 9b: SF Bay peninsula (My Page) on Mon, May 28, 12 at 18:17
I agree with Al. I would also cut it down some more. I have several that I removed all leaves and small branches from about three years ago. They are looking fantastic now. Chop yours down to the thickest branches and it will have a terrific shape. It that removes all leaves, don't worry. It will grow new ones. You can't hurt it by trimming. Only too much water can kill it. :-) Brad |
- Posted by americangolden ZONE 5 (My Page) on Tue, May 29, 12 at 14:12
I look forward to trimming it down more once some new growth starts. I figured all the cutting and the transplant was enough shock for one weekend :-) |
- Posted by cactusmcharris 4 / Interior BC (My Page) on Tue, May 29, 12 at 14:36
AE, No need to wait, the choppers among us need immediate satisfaction, too. Since the plant is going into semi-dormancy (with the higher ambient temperatures it won't be doing much growing), and, as Brad says, it's well nigh indestructible and not a shock hazard.... |
Not telling you to trim more since ultimately its your Jade and your decision. I just wanted to share a couple of pictures with you of mine when I "pugged" it. For me I do most of my pruning (FL) in the fall usually around end of Oct. or Nov. since that is when mine grows the best, summers my Jades are almost dormant just like Jeff mentioned. Taken 10-16-08 Almost 3 months later...1-3-09 |
Nancy that is nice jade; do you have more recent photo of it? |
Thanks Rina! Here's one taken a couple of months ago... |
Time to thin out the secondary branches so you don't get unsightly knobs/swellings where multiple branches originate from very close to the same point on the main branches. I'd first remove anything growing toward the center of the plant, and anything occurring in the forks, then go from there. From the stub you started with, I would develop about 12 branches. The key to a good looking plant isn't the number of branches (like a porcupine), it's how well a few branches are developed - primarily by pinching and eliminating branches (especially opposite branches) that have no future as part of making the composition attractive. Good going, Nance - as always. ;-) YPA |
Nancy looks great, healthy & nice color - gives me courage to chop mine considerably... Rina |

Hello everyone, No time like the present right :-)?? I have begun pugging the plant, but ran into a roadblock. There is 2 big twisty branches that come off of one side. I'm not sure if I should cut it at the base trunk or just cut a portion off? Also if you see anywhere else that I should trim bet let me know. Here is some pictures at different angles, maybe I can get some helping comments. Thanks everyone! |
- Posted by americangolden ZONE 5 (My Page) on Thu, May 31, 12 at 10:11
Can anyone offer any guidance where to make my final cuts? I'd hate to cut off a whole branch if un-needed. Thanks! |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Thu, May 31, 12 at 10:53
Hey, nice cuts! I love that mass of trunks. If it were mine, I would now remove any material that extends beyond the edge of the pot, It's completely your choice, of course.
Josh |
My jade plant has grown wide, not tall. I guess I should trim it to make it grow tall?? |
Here's a brief critique. You want your branches to taper from fat at the bottom to thin at the top, so you might better have truncated the large branches immediately above one of the small branches you removed, and left the rest of the smaller branches a couple of inches long. If you look at how trees grow, which is what you're trying to mimic, you'll see the heavy branches at the bottom and finer branching toward the top. The branch in the middle of the plant should probably be the tallest - imagine a cone shape and reduce your branches in roughly that shape for now - you'll have many more pruning opportunities as the plant matures. The branch that is up against the wire on the left in the picture 2nd from the top should be cut back to just above the vertical branch that comes off of it close to the main trunk line and send the cutting to me. If you just trust me, I'll make it worth your while. ;-) Eventually, you want your plant to have 1 head (apex). It has several heads now, and it confuses the eye because you can't find the top. Can you add a photo looking straight down on the plant? Al |

Here is a quick snap from up top. |
- Posted by americangolden ZONE 5 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 1, 12 at 15:12
Chopped off the large branch hanging off the side this morning. |
I have to ask what the purpose of the cage is? Keeping the jades in, or something else out? The plant looks really good now. Give it a year or so, and it will look great! Rob |
- Posted by americangolden ZONE 5 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 1, 12 at 19:13
There is some animal here that eats my Jade plants by chewing down the branches. Last year I had lost countless Jade plants due to them chewing them all down. Even with that huge Jade plant that I just posted pictures of something was starting to chew on the one branch that hung over the pot. I don't know what is doing it, but this is the reason I built that cage to stop whatever it is from killing my plants :-( |
Interesting. I've never had a problem with my plants. I'd do the same if that was happening to my plants. You might want to invest in a trail cam for hunting. They're motion activated, so you could see what is doing the damage. |
- Posted by americangolden ZONE 5 (My Page) on Mon, Jun 4, 12 at 10:18
Yeah that sounds like a good idea. |
- Posted by cactusmcharris 4 / Interior BC (My Page) on Mon, Jun 4, 12 at 12:46
AE, Just as an FYI, I'm going to use this thread as a primer for my new really, really sort-of-jejune show ' Large Canadian Jade Whack and Report'. While the one I got yesterday isn't as large as this one it weighed about 26 kilos, including the craptastic soil it's in (but minus almost all of the leaves and floppy limbs). |

That is a BEAUTY Jeff...jut gorgeous!! Looking forward to the follow up. Nancy |

**UPDATE** It's been a few weeks so I just wanted to post an update. The plant was looking pretty horrible to say the least, but earlier this week we got some much needed rain, and with the wonderful warm weather we have been having I have noticed the few leaves on the plant that I left on have plumped up and also lots of new growth! The pictures aren't the greatest off of my phone, but hopefully you can see what I am talking about. I'll post an update again when I see some better growth that is picture worthy :). |
Congrats!! Nothing like fresh Rain water... You're Jade will recover nicely I'm sure. |
- Posted by americangolden ZONE 5 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 22, 12 at 11:02
How long does it take for a large Jade plant like this to fill back out? |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Fri, Jun 22, 12 at 12:37
Looks like it's right on track! A large Jade like this will take 4 months minimum before it has some nice green leaf tufts. But give it a full year's growth to really evaluate. No harm in continuing to prune and refine the branches as new growth comes in.
Josh |
- Posted by americangolden ZONE 5 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 22, 12 at 12:55
Thanks for the info greenman. I will continue to prune into shape as new growth continues. I'll provide another update later this summer :-). |
- Posted by americangolden ZONE 5 (My Page) on Sat, Aug 11, 12 at 14:36
Hello everyone, Just posting an update again how the plant is coming along. It seems to be putting out a lot of new growth which i'm thankful for. I don't think I am going to do any pruning on this plant until next spring/summer as to let it fill out a bit. Here's a quick picture from my phone this morning. |
Nice plants. The first blooming jade plant I saw was in a book. I was told that they had to be big to bloom. I now know that that is not always the case. |
americangolden - Amazing what an aggressive haircut does to human hair and jades; the new growth is always better. For less than 4 months, it looks awesome! |
- Posted by americangolden ZONE 5 (My Page) on Wed, Aug 15, 12 at 20:26
I'm hoping that my Jades start to grow a bit more now that it's normal temps again. It was so hot for so long. |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Fri, Aug 17, 12 at 0:10

I can't wait greenman28 :). Does anyone have experience with having a Jade that large that bloomed before a whack and how it responds after. I am asking because the woman that sold this plant to me told me that it bloomed for her and it still had the dead flowers on it when I picked it up. I am curious if it will still bloom after being whacked or if the plant needs time to recover enough energy to do so again? Thanks for anyone who can answer this. |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Sun, Aug 19, 12 at 15:45
One can never tell. I received some cuttings from a mature plant and my cuttings have bloomed for Josh |
- Posted by americangolden ZONE 5 (My Page) on Sun, Aug 19, 12 at 16:24
Ok thanks for the info. Guess we will have to wait and see what mother nature has in store. |
I don't have as much experience as others, but I would be shocked if it bloomed this year after such a drastic cut. That being said, I hope I'm wrong. |
- Posted by americangolden ZONE 5 (My Page) on Fri, Sep 14, 12 at 14:00
It's been another month so I will share another update on growth. It is coming along fine, I just can now see where I will be pruning next time around. I took pictures at a few different angles this time to get a better view. |

Why does one cute a jade? What do I cute and how? Does when make a difference? ~Erin~ |
- Posted by americangolden ZONE 5 (My Page) on Tue, Sep 25, 12 at 18:35
Hello CorpsmanCooper, People cut their Jade's down for appearance, and for the main reason of helping the plant to be able to support the weight of the plant as it grows. When you chop the Jade down you promote new growth, and reduce the stress on the plant of all the heavy weight from the leaves. This plant is full of water so when they get big they can get heavy. If the trunk of the plant is unable to support the canopy and branches it could topple over or branches might break off. I'm sure others can give a better explanation, but I think this will give you the information you are looking for. If you type in Jade Whack or terms along that in the search bar on this forum you will find lots of information to read about on this procedure. |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Tue, Sep 25, 12 at 19:23
American, you nailed it. Whacking Jades is done to manage the weight/growth of the plant and for aesthetics. Pruning also allows us to select "pads" of foliage to grow in bonsai fashion, and helps For a long time, there was talk that pruning Jades might also encourage thickening of the trunk.

in my opinion it hasnt grown THAT much,,? still has the multiple trunks, and (some) 'leggy' growth at top,,,, but overall looks pretty darn good! :) im curious about pruning, particularly near the top, could/should you continually prune/reduce the new growth too? or just let it grow out altogether, as it WAS hit pretty hard from its original shape, ..not sure i'd have had the....'marbles',? lol my problem when visualizing for 'style' (particularly on a specimen that size) is: i always tend to look at the plant with what would result in the 'best cutting material' in mind, almost as much as simply regarding the pruning of the parent. btw AG, have you identified your munching-marauder? |
I have a "practice" jade that was downright ugly... I acquired it from someone who chopped back what must have been a huge jade because he had over two dozen cuttings which all had woody trunks. The growth wasn't as compact as I've come to like so I cut it back heavily and removed all the leaves. It's slowly started to backbud in areas that were bare prior to my pruning, which was one thing I'd intended. I hope with repeated pruning, I might see some trunk thickening too. It seems to make sense to me that if you restrict upward growth and focus it elsewhere, you'll see increased growth there (ie: the trunk). I'm still learning though, so there is plenty of room for error. As for deciding where to cut...I have yet to learn how to envision what I want, so I just cut what looks "bad" and hope it turns out nice. Definitely not recommended, I'm sure! Jeni |
- Posted by americangolden ZONE 5 (My Page) on Sat, Sep 29, 12 at 13:36
silentsurfer, I've been looking at the plant, and I see a lot of areas that I am contemplating chopping. I just wanted to leave it alone until after this winter in hopes that it *might* bloom, otherwise I would have continued to shape it as it grew. I have a lot of ideas for this plant this upcoming spring, so I look forward to cutting it down more and giving it some better shape. I got all of the pots from Wal-Mart for fairly cheap enough, and no I never found out what animals eats my Jade plants so I have to resort to keeping the plants protected :-\. I'm guessing it's either or a rabbit, squirrel or chipmunk because I see a lot of all of them running around our yard. lenle, |
While browsing the news feeds this morning, I came across this story, which might shed some light on who all was attacking your jades... :) Jeni |
Cute a new indoor pet for the jade |
- Posted by americangolden ZONE 5b (My Page) on Fri, Oct 5, 12 at 13:55
lenle, I think you may have hit the nail on the head because there are so many squirrels where I live. I wish that I could do something to keep them away from my Jade plants besides making the cage around them, but until we sell this house and move somewhere else it's what I have to do :-). Atleast now I know what is eating my poor plants. Thank you for the info. |
I'd like to whack that squirrel |

Thats one impressive jade! I had 3 years ago, in big pots, and it all started from a single leaf? Any jade growers ever see flowers? I got a surprise one year when buds formed, opening to white stars! |
Have never seen my crassula flower and it's years old! |
- Posted by americangolden ZONE 5b (My Page) on Thu, Oct 18, 12 at 16:59
Thanks for sharing your Jade picture JoeCaudex. I too enjoy having a woody Jade plant as like you said, it looks like they are old and wise :-). This Jade that I wacked bloomed for the previous owner, so I'm hoping it will for me as well. Other than that my Jade plant that I got from a cutting in horticulture in High School bloomed for me. Other than that I don't think I've had the plants in the right conditions previous years. Now that I know more about how the plants work I'm hoping they will do their magic. |
- Posted by greenlarry UK 8/9 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 18, 12 at 17:04
Yea it was a surprise! I had large pots on my moms windowsill, and they began to flower. Wintertime if I remember. |
Whenever i kept my jade outside during the spring-summer-fall, it would bloom after bringing inside. Not sure if coincidence...but I didn't have any flowers otherwise. Rina |
- Posted by greenlarry UK 8/9 (My Page) on Sat, Oct 20, 12 at 5:51
Chopping and allowing to regrow is a technique used in bonsai culture to promote a tapering profile. Cut and grow its called. In fast growing species like jade you can see the effects earlier, fatter trunk, finer branches (ramification ) especially if grown in good light. |
- Posted by shadeslinger (My Page) on Mon, Jan 21, 13 at 12:05
Thought I would post a pic of my jade. It is 6 1/2 years old. I pulled it out of my moms jade when it was 1 inch tall and its now 4 feet tall and 4 feet wide. The trunk is 14 inches around (4 1/2 inches diameter). It has bloomed every year for me for the last 4 years. I leave it outside in the summer and bring it in in November or when the temperatures drop into the low 30's. I have a dilemma in that I have transplanted it I fear too many times and it is now becoming to large to manage as it weighs over 90 pounds. I want to downsize the pot and I know I will have to cut back the top of the plant. That is going to kill me as I really love the way it looks. I understand the roots may have to be pruned back as well. No one has mentioned pruning the roots back. Has anyone done this? |
Your jade is beautiful, americangolden. Too bad I didn't read this sooner- I would have loved to purchase cuttings! Yours is very nice, aswell, shadeslinger. Sorry I cannot offer advice! I am sure someone will. |
I'd start at the bottom until the trunk is exposed full 360 % working upward cut away inward growth for more defined branch exposure, a clean look just like in front of your left hand Top section for a start twist and remove some of the most inward foliage on each branch and before you know it you'll see what you want. |
- Posted by americangolden ZONE 5b (My Page) on Tue, Jan 22, 13 at 21:44
123Greta, I'd be happy to share cuttings once the weather warms up :). Send me an email because I have lots of plants that will be ready this spring. |
Shadeslinger, that is one gorgeous Jade and I don't think you need to do ANYTHING to it. It is perfect! Why feel the need to "improve" anything so beautiful. Obviously your care is all it ever needed. Pat. |
- Posted by americangolden ZONE 5b (My Page) on Fri, Apr 5, 13 at 15:41
Hey everyone, Weather is warming up and I am working on whacking this Jade down a bit before it goes outdoors for the summer. Here is what I chopped off last night. Also, the last picture is where I am contemplating chopping off. Yes or no?? Or any suggestions of branches to chop. Thanks GW :) |

I hate squirrels. They climb our entire apartment building!!!! I live on the 9th floor and during spring and fall they are very active burrying and digging out food. So they go through all my plants during those times and make a mess. Ive found an entire nutty bar in its packaging at the bottom of one of my planted pots!!!! I usually move plants from indoor to out during spring and plant veggies. atm I have many hens and chicks (sempervivum) I want to move out but am worried about the darn rodents. Ill move them during late spring. They have even chewed through our balcony metal/plastic caging and roamed around in our apartment. So when we go out, we have to close the balcony. Located in Toronto, Canada btw |

American, it's looking great! I like what you've done. I'd probably leave it as is, and then make some cuts later this season when the plant is in prime growth mode. Josh |
What a day to discover this forum. Temp in Canada finally warm enough today to spring clean and I was just about to toss this out - until I saw this site - and the incredible plants you have grown. I was given this one in '83 as a housewarming....yes....30 years ago, and despite how inept I've been at nurturing it, it is still alive. Can you give me step by step? Cut back how much? Repot that? Cuttings? etc..... Clearly I need advice. |
- Posted by cactusmcharris 4 / Interior BC (My Page) on Sun, Apr 28, 13 at 12:48
If you read the previous posts in this thread, I think all of your questions are answered. In short, I'd cut most of that off, after depotting and separating the plants that you want. You could go for a smaller pot, too. Most of that growth is in response to less-than-optimal conditions and can be composted, or turned into new plants - that's up to you. |
- Posted by americangolden ZONE 5b (My Page) on Fri, May 17, 13 at 14:35
Hello Jaded4, Sorry for the late response, but if you are still curious on what to do with your plant I can give you some suggestions. If you want to keep the plant in the pot it is in I would suggest cutting off any branches that are hanging downward. If you plan on repotting your plant, you could remove everything and see what you have. Any branches that can be repotted facing up would work, or you can make cuts on longer limbs that would be able to be repotted upright. The main things you want to go for are eliminating any downward facing branches and try to get the plant into better sunlight. A Jade that is in a good amount of light will grow upright towards the sun and the leaves will also be more compact. The large green leaves that you have on your plant are growing that size to help gather sunlight. Good luck! |

Great pics AmericanGolden I have so many Jade plants which I've just neglected in the Southern California sun... I'm thinking of doing the same as you and whack a few down to create that thick trunk look. Do you have any updates from the end of the summer? What location or zone are you? |
- Posted by americangolden ZONE 5b (My Page) on Thu, Aug 8, 13 at 9:57
Good morning yorkiemiki, I went outside and took a few pictures of how the plant is coming along. To answer your question, I am in zone 5b. |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Thu, Aug 8, 13 at 12:05
Coming along perfectly! Are you fertilizing? If not, a bit of fertilizer will thicken up that foliage, and move it along even faster. Josh |
- Posted by americangolden ZONE 5b (My Page) on Thu, Aug 8, 13 at 13:20
I have been lacking in the fertilizing department, but I have some Foliage Pro I need to start using. It's been a busy summer. Luckily the Jade's don't mind the neglect :-). |

Well here's the thread for me. I recently obtained a plant I'd been admiring for quite some time in the neighbor's yard... turns out they are moving and I couldn't believe it when they offered to sell it to me for $20 (the smaller one was free). Now I am eager to re-pot it and clean it up a bit, but wanted to double-check with some of the experts here first, as most of my work is with younger plants, correcting them as they grow. I haven't actually taken older stuff and made major adjustments yet. I'm thinking I won't do too much to the major branches, at least not right away. I'll balance it a bit, but leave most of the top intact. My main concern is some ugly chewed-up spots on the trunk and a few of the limbs, as well as re-potting it. Just to be clear: I can just cleanly remove these wounds and it will heal over fairly well, right? Or should I go about it a different way? I just want them to disappear as neatly as possible. My last question is about re-potting... would it be a bad idea to do a clean chop at the base of the trunk and then put the thing in a large bonsai pot, tying it down of course? What would I need to keep in mind, if this is what I attempt? Just cut it, let it callous, then put some root hormone on it? Any advice would be great, thanks! |

My two cents: don't chop it! Repot if you must, maybe trim roots if you want to put it in a smaller pot and get more compact growth, but please don't cut it at the base! I cringe at the thought. If you trim off the scarred areas with a sharp, sterilized blade, they should heal cleanly. They may get a scab that may eventually just peel off after a few months, but you can cut them cleaner than they look now. |

mgee, Danielle's advice is exactly what I would have written, especially about not cutting the trunk. Don't do it unless you'd like a long, hard road rerooting (not a sure thing in itself) the trunk. All it needs is some cleanup, as she also advised you well on. |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Tue, Aug 13, 13 at 12:20
I agree, mgee...don't cut it unless you really like a long recovery during which much/most of the old foliage will be lost. Also, don't worry about those "scars"....give 'em time, and they'll finish callusing and smooth themselves off. One idea to entertain in the future would be the removal of one of the trunks in order to create a single-trunked specimen. Then, you could root the removed trunk and have a second large specimen. Just an idea. I like the Jade as is. Josh |
Nice update Americangolden...your Jade is coming along very nicely!! Mgee...what a beautiful Jade and at $20 an astounding deal...Congrats and I agree with the advise here...I too love the Jade the way it is. Good luck!! |

Thank you puglvr1. The plant is still filling in at a good rate. Here is an end of September picture. |

It's just gorgeous. I have a jade that has beautiful bones, but I haven't done any major pruning for fear of messing it up. I have to be brave like you, and perhaps I'll be equally rewarded! |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Mon, Sep 30, 13 at 18:26
Yes! Now we're back in business! Great update...hopefully this will encourage folks who've been bashful about whacking their Jades. Sure, there are many months of awkward new growth, but in the end it is completely worth it. Josh |

Danielle317, It can be scary, but it is worth it. Jade plants are very forgiving as you can tell by the pictures. They respond very well to hard pruning. It is very neat to see pictures from start to current on plants that you do this to and I recommend to anyone that does a hard prune to do so to keep track of the plants progress. It is nice to share with others as well to show what can be achieved from this process. Josh, Thank you! I couldn't agree more with your statement. In the end it is completely worth it =). I will have to share pictures soon of all my other Jade plants that I hard pruned and how they responded. I think that they all look wonderful with much more compact and colorful growth from this summer. |

I brought my plants in two nights ago due to cold and lots of rain in the forecast. It's been raining for days, and that is not a good combination with the cold night temperatures. I put all the plants away in a spare bedroom in a bright window. Today I went in there to take a look at them out of curiosity and to my surprise, I have flower buds =)!! I will keep this post updated when they bloom. Enjoy and I hope these pictures do justice for how ecstatic I am right now! |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Sun, Oct 6, 13 at 13:39
Congrats! What a great surprise, and reward for your hard work and care. Josh |
- Posted by americangolden ZONE 5b (My Page) on Sun, Oct 6, 13 at 23:42
Thanks Josh! I'm surprised how early the flower buds have set. |
Congrats indeed!! I too can't believe how early your Jade is beginning to flower.That's very exciting!! |
- Posted by americangolden ZONE 5b (My Page) on Sun, Oct 27, 13 at 0:19
I thought I would share an update since it has been a while. The flower buds are showing up a lot more over the whole plant, and looks like they are getting closer to opening. |
Great job on this plant! I love how it has transformed and is now budding...woohoo! |

AG- can we have a follow up or what?! I was so disappointed when this post stopped! I'd love to see how your jade is doing now, greAt job by the way. So neat to see the changes over such a period of time, keep em comin! |

Here are some pictures jamie6788. Hope this gives you an update for the winter months. Enjoy =) I'll be doing some updating on this thread in spring which will be here shortly enough. I think I am going to do a little more whacking on this plant to get the shape better. |

Wow, there are some pretty impressive jades in this thread! I'm impressed :) I decided to "whack" my jade today because it had developed some strange growth - branches forming odd little dips and twists when they grew downwards and then sharply back up again, etc. I've had the plant for about 2.5 years and bought it from Ikea of all places, so I have no idea how old it really is. Sadly, I found this thread and decided to take pictures after I butchered my poor plant, but I was hoping maybe someone could tell me if they think I did a good job and if I should take any more off, or if I should expect a dead plant in a couple of months. I'll also attach a picture of all the clippings (with a 30cm/approx. 12in ruler at the bottom for scale) so you can get an idea of how much I took off and how the branches had been growing. Thanks for any help and advice! |
- Posted by nomen_nudum 5b (My Page) on Sun, Mar 2, 14 at 10:25
Nice hacking. In about a week a simple twist should remove the discolored, deformed shapes at lower foliage. Could also use better lighting . Low light is what caused the deformed longer growth you had just cut. |

I thought about starting my old thread, but since there were so may on the same subject I figured I would use this one just as well. If this one dies then I guess Ill start a new one but for now this will work great. So in 2010 at my 20th HS Reunion an old friend from HS whom Ive been friends with on facebook for quite a long while now, brought me a gift. She knows I'm a big plant nerd...etc. She has a HUGE 5-6 foot or so tall Jade tree which she pruned up as it was just getting too large. Well she had multiple medium sized plants from that pruning a few years prior to 2010, and she wanted to give me one. I think the parent tree is a good 20+ years old now and it thrives. Anyway I received a very nice about 1 foot tall branch with multiple branches, as a new plant at our HS reunion. It has been growing nicely, but did start to get slightly etiolated (stretched out) from wintering indoors. It was not bad as it gets full sun all day long in winter in a south facing window, but still, indoors does effect it a bit. So a couple weeks ago I decided to chop it good. It was a bit top heavy, and I wanted to get it to grow more bushy and even more tree like than it already is. In just two weeks it is already sprouting lots of new branches. I was not expecting it to do so this quickly, but its got LOTS of tiny new branches emerging. I also ended up with about 20 new plants that I am going to start (they are rooting now), pot up, and give away. Anyway, below is the result of the hack. I did leave a couple of small branches on one of the two main trunks as you'll see. Hopefully this hack job will prove good for the plant, and also help it to look even more like a mini tree than it already does. The small branches low on the trunk are going to be removed once it really branches out again, and the small one in the pot was a branch I accidently knocked off and just stuck in the soil to root. It is also going to be removed soon. Id love to hear from everyone and see what they think of how I did and also hear any suggestions you all might have for improvement. First two photos are just the entire plant from different sides. Next two are close ups of a couple of the branches with plenty of new growth pushing out. The resultant new jade plants in the making. There are about 20 in these bowls and will be potted up this weekend and given away as gifts. Many have already rooted. |

Was it sun hardened before you hard pruned ? |
- Posted by novaplantguy_z7b_8a Alexandria, VA 7B/8A (My Page) on Sun, Apr 13, 14 at 11:04
I'm not sure what you mean by "sun hardened". It spends 3 seasons outdoors in full sun. It's in a south facing window and gets direct sun for several hours (4-5) per day when wintering indoors. Is that what you meant? I know better than to take a plan't thats been out of direct sun all winter and put it into direct sun straight away. I harden those off with sun by doing it gradually over a couple of weeks. It works great with all of my plants that are over wintered indoors and do not get direct sun. This Jade however, gets direct sun, year round, even in winter. Is that what you were asking? Thanks. |

I have lots of wild raspberry bushes in the woods behind my house. They are mostly young but a few are starting to produce fruit. The fruit is tiny and sour. I have clay soil--actually it's more like a little soil mixed in with a lot of clay. I am tempted to try throwing a pot with it. lol Anyways, I have a spot I'd like to plant a raspberry bush in because I looooooove raspberries. I found a wild one growing in a spot it shouldn't be in, so I was going to move it. Is it worth doing that or should I buy a different variety? Do I need to do anything to the soil to get it to produce properly? Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
There is no reason not to move them and give them a try, but with how cheap you can find raspberry plants on craigslist, I would do both. As a matter of fact, I am doing both. I just bought a new place and I have a number of wild raspberry plants growing along the edge of the woods. I also bought 45 raspberry plants (15 of 3 different varieties) for $45 off craigslist. So, I now have 4 zones, the 3 from craigs + the group of wild ones I relocated. |

[452] Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) of 486 Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-Related Lesions of the Major Salivary Glands
L Pantanowitz, BJ Dezube, P Michelow. Baystate Medical Center, Tufts University School of Medicine, Springfield, MA; Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA; National Health Laboratory Service, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa
Background: Salivary gland disease is an important manifestation of HIV infection. There are limited studies investigating the cytopathology of HIV-related salivary gland disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the findings in a series of salivary gland FNA in South African HIV+ patients.
Design: A retrospective review at the National Health Laboratory Service in Johannesburg, South Africa was performed of 3501 confirmed HIV+ patients who had an FNA of various body sites. FNA of only major salivary glands were further evaluated for patient age and gender, lesion (laterality, clinical signs), antiretroviral therapy use, specimen adequacy, and cytologic diagnosis.
Results: There were 486 (14%) procedures including 253 (52%) parotid and 233 (48%) submandibular gland FNAs. Patients were of average age 34 years (range, 3-63) with a female:male ratio of 1:0.6. There were 43 (9%) inadequate FNAs and 22 (5%) contained only normal gland constituents. Most diagnoses were due to 123 (25%) lymphoepithelial lesions/cysts and 114 (23%) cases of reactive lymphadenopathy. Lymphoepithelial lesions/cysts occurred in patients ranging from 6-63 years of age, 7% of whom had antiretrovirals, measured 2 to 8.5cm in greatest diameter, involved the parotid (n=94) and submandibular glands (n=81), and were bilateral in only 7% of patients. Cases also included 81 (17%) diagnoses with tuberculosis and 58 (12%) abscesses, 2 found to have associated mycobacterium infection. Neoplasms accounted for 17 (4%) of diagnoses, including pleomorphic adenoma (n=9), lymphoma (n=7) and squamous cell carcinoma (n=1). Those with pleomorphic adenomas were of average age 38 years (range, 32-44). There were 13 (3%) atypical cases (possible neoplasms) and 13 miscellaneous diagnoses (10 non-specific sialadenitis, 3 epidermal inclusion cysts).
Conclusions: These data indicate that FNA is useful to evaluate salivary gland lesions in a HIV+ population and may reduce their need for surgery, an important consideration in an underfunded public health care system. HIV-related salivary gland disease in South Africa is mainly due to benign conditions including lymphoepithelial lesions/cysts, reactive lymphadenopathy, and coinfection like tuberculosis. Neoplasms account for only a minor component of diagnoses in this HIV+ population.

By Scott Raab
Amit and Naroop/Camera Press/Retna
Lunch at the executive dining room in the HBO building, New York City.
SCOTT RAAB: You look fabulous. If you turn sideways, I don't know if I can even see you.
RICKY GERVAIS: Thank you.
SR: The blood is rushing to my loins. [To waitress] I'll have the fruit plate, please.
RG: Can I just get coffee, please?
SR: You're not eating at all?
RG: It's messy to eat and talk. [Looks out the window.] Wow! Come on!
SR: Your first trip to the city?
RG: Look at that. I don't get sick of that.
SR: I didn't even notice the view. That's how focused I am on this interview. You have things written on your hand?
RG: "Greatest hits, cancer, Alzheimer's, obesity, glandular, fat girl, fried chicken, AIDS." Last night, I did a benefit for wounded soldiers with Bob Woodruff [ABC journalist severely injured in Iraq in 2006]. Me and Springsteen and Jon Stewart. It was fantastic.
SR: Do you consider yourself a workaholic?
RG: Yeah. But as Winston Churchill said, "If you find a job you really love, you'll never work again."
SR: Churchill's ratings weren't as high as yours.
RG: Churchill's advisors once came to him and said, "We're going to stop all funding for the arts so we can put that into the war effort." And Churchill said, "Then what are we fighting for?" Sends a chill down my spine. Incredible.
SR: Any regret about your act at the Golden Globes?
RG: I stand by everything. You shouldn't apologize for anything you meant to do. You can apologize for things you do when you're 15, but not when you're 50. People confuse the subject of the joke with the target of the joke, and they're very rarely the same. Let's get this in perspective: They're the wealthiest, most privileged people in the world. Offense is taken, not given. It's your choice.
SR: And I'm not even sure who's acting and who's genuinely taking offense.
RG: Imagine if I had gone out there and said, "We're all in the same gang. Aren't we brilliant? Us millionaires together." There was a Roman emperor that hired someone to whisper "You're just a man" in his ear as he walked around the crowds. Just to remind him, because he knew if everyone tells you you're a god, then you are. And so he hired someone to say "You're just a man."
SR: This was not Caligula.
RG: "Never mind the man. Where's the fuckin' horse?"
SR: Would you ever do the Oscars?
RG: They wouldn't let me do it my way. I don't think they could afford to. The first time the Globes asked me, I said, "Can I say what I want?" They said, "Yeah." Second time, I said same again. They went, "Yeah." The Oscars would never. I just don't think they'd ever trust me. Nor should they. If I was them, I'd say, "Well, don't hire Gervais. You're asking for it." I'm not a wolf in sheep's clothing. I'm a wolf in wolf's clothing.
SR: What Chris Rock did to Jude Law why wouldn't they let Gervais have at it?
RG: I think Hollywood's gotten more reactionary and conservative over the years, because there's no longer art in Hollywood. Art suffers in Hollywood. HBO took art away from Hollywood and put it on the screen, okay? If The Wire was a film, it would be in and out of cinemas in an hour because it wasn't performing. The only innovation in Hollywood is technology. Give me two people talking about something. Give me a bit of humanity. It's fundamental to the human aspect, storytelling.
SR: So's discomfort, and there aren't many comics who can mine that vein. I mean, we've got you, we've got Larry David, we've got Louis C. K.
RG: He's the greatest stand-up at the moment. And there's someone on his tail as well Doug Stanhope. It's all to do with honesty. Never fear the truth. No bad can come of discussing a true subject. No bad at all. Gandhi said, "There is no higher god than the truth."
SR: You're a committed atheist. No doubt whatsoever?
RG: I have no choice. I can't help what I believe. Probably the most offensive thing I ever said was "Thank God for making me an atheist." It was a swipe at all those people who thank God because they won an award. How arrogant is that? There's war and famine and God's going, "Know what Bullock? Write a speech. I'm not going to say anything, Sandra, but write a speech. That's all I'm saying."
SR: You were a philosophy major. I assume to some degree that that study has informed your career.
RG: I think comedy has to be an intellectual pursuit. It comes down to logic and analysis. As soon as it becomes emotional, it's not comedy anymore. That's why real racist jokes or sexist jokes aren't funny not because they're offensive, but because they're not true. As soon as a joke is based on an untruth, it's not funny. If the premise isn't true, I don't want to hear the punchline, because it's built on sand. I think the big questions are more interesting than the little ones. Why are we here? What's the point? Good and evil. Love, hate. The Invention of Lying was criticized because of its ambition, and I think it confused a few people. It started out as a high-concept fantasy joke, then went into philosophy territory, and ended up a 1950s romantic comedy.
SR: I know it didn't find its footing in terms of box office.
RG: Well, I think it's the 25-year plan. All my favorite things people find them. I don't care when people find them. Spinal Tap it's an amazing film. Christopher Guest has never let me down.
SR: Last time we talked, you said Guest told you that if you want a bunch of assholes at a focus group to like your films, you should write the screenplays with them.
RG: Both films I've done, I took the focus group notes home, and I didn't look at them.
SR: You saved the notes?
RG: I'm thinking of doing stand-up around them.

Purchased this jacket 4 months ago, and used it quite extensively over the bad winter weather that we in the UK have experienced. The idea of this jacket, to have heat when required but with low weight was appealing to me. Unfortunately the problems that I have found with this jacket are as follows. The material of the jacket is so easily damaged it beggers belief, you can drag it quite easily with a ragged finger nail. I have never owned any jacket that can be damaged so easily. Within a few months it will look like you've worn it for years, honestly I can not think of a worse material that the manufacturer could have picked. The jacket is also very short and has no cord or draw string to pull in at the waist. This allows cold air to enter and the jacket does not fit close round the waist area. The manufacturer also states that there is an insulation layer on the outer of the jacket, if so where is it! You really need to wear a layer over this jacket, as the heat loss experenced due to lack of insulation will run the battery down very quickly ( I am using the latest battery with LED readout). There is also very little heat generated in the front pocket area, as compaired to the lower back. If your looking for a jacket in the £150-200 range then I would look elsewhere. A light weight synthetic jacket or soft shell would be a better buy. You live and learn.
I had stumbled across the Exo2 Stormwalker Jacket while just browsing through the AMP3 website. My interest was immediately piqued with the products tag line "Used by Special Forces". As I read through the description I found myself thinking, that this would be just the job for cold January mornings in Edinburgh (after all if it's good enough for the Royal Marines who am I to turn my nose up at it). One order and a quick delivery later the Stormwalker Jacket was in my grubby little mitts. The first thing to mention is how warm the jacket is without using the heating element. The material does an excellent job of keeping body heat in. I wasted no time in charging the battery pack and preparing the Stormwalker for my trip to work the following day (incidentally, the LED on the charger changes from "red" to "green" once the battery id fully charged, nice touch). The following morning presented the StormWalker with ideal testing conditions, a typical cold, dark, frosty Edinburgh morning. I noticed the elements heating up a few moments of switching the battery on, if you switch the battery pack on five minutes before you leave the house, you'll be guarenteed to stay lovely and warm all the way to work! The jacket worked an absolute treat and had me wearing a self satisfied smug grin on my face all the way to work as I basked in the glorious warmth that the back and pocket heating panels provided me with! I've been so pleased with my StormWalker that I'm very rarely seen with out it. Even on the coldest of days the jacket can be worn under a larger outer coat to ensure toasty warmth, without looking like the Michelin Man! In short I'm really happy with the StormWalker! Okay, at £169.00 it's not the cheapest of jackets, and it could do to have a couple of extra pockets on the inside but for the sheer brilliance of it and the effective manner that it keeps your core warm, I don't regret the spend at all. Plus the bragging rights that it endows the wearer with (my jacket's used by Special Forces all over the world, what's so special about yours?) and the unforseen benfit that my girlfriend has taken to "koala-ing" me, or cuddling in to the back of me on nights out have to be worth something!

Kicking off all kinds of seasons.
By Hannah Wallace
Also, while the
The Ms Conduct also started our travel season this weekend with a wham-bam-thank you-ma'am (in so many ways) kinda tournament. Friday I jetted straight from work to the Brandon Ice Sports Forum for a 7 p.m. game, followed by another at 9:30, then two more Saturday. These weekend tournaments (five or six per season) tend to be one game on Friday nights, then two on Saturday and another Sunday morning. This time, though, the schedule had to make room for the Lightning training camp (the Lightning use the
I sort of hate to say it, but it's good to play in this all-women's travel league again. I love playing with the boys Sunday nights, but an inferiority complex comes with the territory—something like short-man's syndrome: aggressive paranoia. I suffer from the nagging thoughts that my competitors either scoff at my presence or totally change their game so as not to hurt my delicate girlishness, while my teammates swallow their frustrations because you're not allowed to criticize girls (especially considering Mrs. Harrible and I are the significant others of two of the bigger, better boys on the team). Being smaller, weaker and (worst of all) coming to the sport relatively recently, I hate to think that I'm being judged most of all for being a woman—and, worse still, that women are being judged every time I make a stupid mistake.
Keep in mind, of course, that a lot of this is probably just in my head (and, alas, there to stay). But in the women's tournament Friday night, as a 6-foot college hockey alum hip-checked me into the boards without a second thought, sending me skidding along the ice, collecting snow in my jersey, all I could think was, "Wow, it's good to be out here with the gals again."
Yep, I think it's going to be a good season.

What would you do with LOTS more energy?
Your body is an energy factory! But if you're not giving it the fuel it needs to run at optimal levels, chances are you are experiencing low energy levels. Low energy keeps people from living an abundant, full, vibrant life brimming with vitality and joy. How can you do the things you love if you can barely do the things you must?
When you start living the life you were meant to live – one aligned with your own personal Metabolic Type – you'll be truly astonished by how much energy you have.
The most common reasons people lack vitality:
- You're eating the wrong foods or you're on the wrong kind of diet for your Meta-Type – to stay young, you must choose foods and eat in accordance with your metabolism
- You're not doing the specific kind of exercise and movements that your body needs … you can't stay youthfully vital and vibrant unless you challenge your body with exercise that's just right for your Meta-Type
- You're lacking the specific minerals, amino acids, or vitamins, or herbs your body must have in order to produce energy and to rejuvenate your system and protect yourself against the ravages of disease and wear and tear … and you're not taking the supplements needed to remedy these deficiencies.
- You live with a high level of stress, negative self-feelings, damaging relationships, or a lack of inner balance. These things will sap your vitality and your energy like nothing else.
Living YOUR Meta-Type is the Big Secret to increase energy naturally
Why? Because it's the truth about what your body really needs.
Dr. Dane has found that everyone falls into the category of either Fast Metabolizers ("Type-A" personalities, hyped-up, achievement-oriented, often anxious and stressed) or Slow Metabolizers ("Type-B" personalities, prone to sluggish, low-energy, somewhat depressed physical and mental states).
To achieve vitality, fast metabolizers must find ways to slow themselves down and reduce their anxiety and stress, so they can live and work from a balanced energy state! Their anxiety and "hyper" style actually saps their energy and vitality, even though others may perceive them as "in motion" all the time!
To increase their energy, slow metabolizers must find ways to pull out of their typical sluggish, low-energy, physiological conditions and depressive emotional states that keep them from feeling vibrant and make vitality a rare experience for them!
The first step in understanding why you lose – and how to regain – your precious vital energy is to find out your Meta-Type. Just take the Free Metabolic Type Test and you'll get the answer instantly.

Increasing Natural Gas Demand in China - Diversification of Gas Sources to Ensure Future Supply
- Published: July 2012
- Region: China
This report is a company overview containing contact and financial summary data. This company is one of the 175 key enterprises in China oil and natural gas extracting industry.
China's energy needs are growing with incredible speed, and the Chinese government knows it. By 2030 natural gas will surpass oil to become the worlds number one energy resource, especially in the power generation industry. According to government forecasts, China will need to invest over 220 billion RMB in natural gas infrastructure, pipelines, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities between 2002 and 2020. Opportunities will be created in the reconstruction and expansion of old power plants as well as in refitting existing power generation equipment. In coal bed gas exploration, foreign investment and advanced technologies will be key. Natural gas in China offers attractive prospects for investment. In the near future, it will become one of the most vibrant areas of cooperation between China and foreign countries.
The demand for natural gas, as a clean and efficient fuel, is expected to reach 200 billion cubic meters by 2020. With demand growth outpacing supply, China will have a supply

Impossible Road Review
There's a lot to be said for simplicity and style, and Impossible Road has both in spades. You control a white ball; your goal is to stay on a winding, randomly-generated road for as long as possible. The graphics are sparse and appealing, and the controls feel great. But unlike many endless runners, whose heroes start off moving slowly, Impossible Road kicks into high gear from the start. Impossible is right. But if you like Read More

Smoked Deviled Eggs
January 24, 2014
Growing up, deviled eggs were a staple at almost every family picnic. Today this timeless classic gets a grilling makeover from Curt McAdams of LiveFireOnline.com.
I found this idea in a great BBQ book by Jason Day and Aaron Chronister (BBQ Addicts), BBQ Makes Everything Better. Instead of boiling eggs, they can also be cooked, in the shell, on a smoker, allowing a bit of smoke to make it through the shell, but not so much that it's overwhelming, so I thought I'd try this to make some deviled eggs.
I have to start this off with saying I generally do not like deviled eggs at all. My mom supposedly makes great deviled eggs, but I just don't care for most of them. But, with the smoking of the eggs, I thought I'd try something different, and I put something together I really liked, to my complete surprise!
The eggs were on the smoker about 2 hours and 15 minutes at 225 F, then put into an ice bath to cool off quickly before being shelled. I used white eggs, but they came off the smoker very brown! The now-cooked eggs were split top to bottom, and the yolks were put into a bowl, with a bit of mayo and Dijon mustard added. I also added some Sriracha sauce, salt and pepper, and some chopped cream-cheese-filled smoke jalapeños.
I combined and smoothed out the mixture, then put it into a zip-closed bag. The idea was to squeeze the yolk mixture into the egg halves like using a pastry bag. I snipped just a small bit of a corner of the bottom of the plastic bag off, then squeezed the mixture into the eggs. The eggs then went into a plastic container and into the fridge. Once cooled, I added a bit of pimente d'espelette, and tried them out.
The result was that I found some deviled eggs that I really like a lot! I think the difference is that these were a bit spicy instead of sweet or sour. The jalapeños were a better addition for me than pickles or olives (and I typically love olives). Let me know if you have any other variations to try out that might be a nice change from the ordinary deviled egg.
