Jades are the toughest trees to kill. You can do just about anything to them and they keep coming back for more.

My mom has a huge bunch, apparently for the Chinese, they are good luck or something, but I'm not a fan of them as bonsai.

I like the character of your trees, but I don't like the spacing between the three trees and the heights of the outside too--too much symmetry makes it less interesting.

Also, did you leaf prune the trees or is that just how you got them?

No I leaf pruned them, I do with all my jades to get smaller leaves. They were so over grown the branches were drooping and ready to snap. As far as the spacing goes the roots on those three are grown together tightly did not want to disterb them. Oh and by the way just my opinion your advitar is kind of disturbing. Is that suposed to be a cat being lifted by chopsticks?
