Thanks, I really appreciate the nice words!

I wouldn't say they are slow, alas Wikipedia disagrees. Maybe I've just not kept books on those many years they've taken to grow.

One thing I do know for sure is that if I had only one plant, I could use its leaves to create as many new plants as there are leaves on the original tree, and in a year or two I would have a small forest of jade trees, provided I had enough pots and soil. :)
