He has started new jades regularly from his original he got in New Mexico over 30 years ago. We still have 2, our daughter has some, many friends have them. So I know you can do something with it. I really like the way it is shaped now, has a pleasing quirky look to it.

Bigger pot seems to be a good idea, which I should do Croney Sep 2023 #9

I think it's a great idea, and if the grafting works too, it will have a whole new look. Croney Sep 2023 #12
