Trying to rescue my Jade plant.

Trying to rescue my Jade plant. (Crassula ovata (Jade tree))

It was shaded for years by a tree I just cut down. What had been an upright shrub had flopped over on its side. The top 2 foot at that point broke off. Still- a second huge lower branch makes this a much bigger plant then the photo shows. I need to cut more Aloe ciliarus around it farther back.
Now using magical Bonsai and chiropractor techniques to gradually get it back up right. I hope.

Same thing with them outdoors here only scaled up. They drop branches if after not so good, pruning..you leave them end of branch heavy. They also cannot take traffic..walkersby can easily kill tips.
But in winter,in bloom and you see why they are so loved. You never get tired of a good looking Jade plant.
