Elephant Jade Tree
I bought this Elephant Jade a week ago. I have seen lots of jades in nurseries around town but none of them had a trunk and shape like this. I love the gnarled texture of the trunk which at the base is almost 2 inches thick. I don't particularly like the way it is potted. I plan to keep this one where I keep my other indoor bonsai trees. There is plenty of bright morning sunlight. I plan to repot it but I can't decide what kind of pot to use. Can anyone help with maybe a virtual?

Hi Gilbert,

That is a cool little tree, fantastic trunk. Way better than my elephant bush.

This is your tree in my favourite pot.

Regards,

TB

BTW, I like the trunk on this tree especially. Very old looking. I like the shallow oval pots for this. The first three pots pots that I posted are quite nice.

Such nice old looking tree. I happen to think it looks the best with the blue oval pot.

I too like the light blue oval a little bit better than the rest.
