Those are some nice trees. I personally do not understand why jades are debated as "bonsai material." It's a tree grown in a container... hence bonsai. Now whether you don't like them or not is up to you.

Newt1, I was looking at your blog and I really like the jades you have posted on there.

I don't have a jade, but I'm thinking of picking one up myself for some fun.

Oh, one more thing, when the leaves are small on a jade like in these bonsai pictures, it's almost like the surfaces of the leaves look like surfaces in computer generated graphics. Is that just me, or do others see the Pixar-ness as well?
