| Last Friday I took a 15 minute break from work to hit a nearby garage sale.
This jade (compacta?) caught my eye and I did have the 3 bucks. The rest is history. So would you prune those hanging branches? I really can't decide. I can see merits in leaving them or pruning them. In the meantime I am looking for a new pot for this as I think it was dug up from the ground. Thanks for any thoughts.

| I would prune it back to the main branches. Mine get pruned hard every spring. |

| I agree, and I would stand the trunk up straight as well. |

| You know I would ;-) Wack it, stand it up it up, and watch it thrive. |

| Oh, yeah, definitely stand it up, whack it, and enjoy those nice fat trunks!

| I think it's rather interesting. Personally, I would probably chop the branches where they start going down, keep the curve and see how it develops. |
