Hi all,
I’ve got a pretty massive Jade growing in my backyard. Picture tough to tell size but one part of trunk is as thick as my arm. The shape is already domed and it looks great imo. I noticed this tree a long time ago and it slowly kindled an interesting in Bonsai that eventually got me into low level projects. I think it might be time to dig this guy up and get in a pot. Sounds crazy but I think this would be an epic display piece on my kitchen island once established. Wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations of stuff to look out for. I know they’re pretty hardy. Im in San Diego, so I use a bit more water retaining materials versus just akadama type grit in my soil mix. I reckon that would work well in this scenario too. Any other tips? Thank you.
