Those folks must be very high on something!!! Largest indoor Jade in the world, they must be joking!

Note the lack of anything for scale or size reference (except the other plant), doens't look anything like so large to me!

OMG!! The price is absurd. It's NOT the largest Jade in the world.
I feel like writing the seller..

Karen, I followed the link the seller posted..it's H=4' 11'
W=5' 6' 15 yrs old. BD
They say use clean fertilizer..what is clean fertilizer? lol Sheesh..

His website says the plant was appraised at $350,000. By who, himself? Maybe I should have him appraise a few of my plants to sell on eBay.

Good grief, what planet is that guy on, asking �215. I think I'll just wait another 8 years or so till my two have grown to that size!!
As Pirategirl says, there's nothing in the pic to size it by, and to me it does not exceptionally big either. I have seen larger ones in the local Chinese Takaway! It needs someone from the US to ask for its dimensions, and it will be interesting to see how much it does go for...if it ever does.

Well I've seen bigger jades. I had a friend that grew one so big it had to be lifted with a hydraulic lift on a dolly using 3 men when she would move it inside for the winter. The only door it would go through was her double sliding patio door. And it bloomed every Christmas. She had it planted in pure sand. Mine only was 3 feet wide and 3 1/2 feet high with a 4" thick trunk when I lost it to frost - forgot to move it inside for winter until it was too late. 28 years of growing gone.

I Googled, largest plant the world. The Jade seller listed his/her Jade info all over the net.

Here's what's fishy.

He/she posted on a forum called, SitePoint Forums. One of his/her posts is dated, Dec 8, 2008 ..He/she states her Jade is '15-yrs-old.'

Time doesn't change for this person? 2 1/3rd years later, it's the same age? HA...Toni

Copied from ebay ::I hope someone buys this baby so I can retire in Thailand and travel all over the world.

This jade plant will bring you GOOD LUCK AND GOOD KARMA, a well balance YING and YANG. This jade plant is also called Money Tree.

At last someone defined YING YANG to perfection

You can also buy the marijuanaguy.com domain from him for two million dollars.

This is why I don't use eBay any more.

Here is a link that might be useful: More BS

That is ridiculous. Must be a joke, no?

Largest jade, Nigerian bank scams, here's the winning ticket...the joys of BlechBay.

OTOH, I know of very successful such encounters, except they didn't include puny Crassula ovata plants.

Hahaha...I add my guffaw to the chorus of jeers!

$35 wouldn't be out of the question....but that price is beyond ridiculous.

Josh

It says (in fine print) that you can get 2 inch cuttings for $7,499 apiece! What a deal!

Financing is also available...

Tom

Puny indeed! So how many million do you all think this guy would have asked for The Great Wall of Jade Where Kitties Lurked?

The cost for that is well nigh incalculable, Karen.

I was thinking conservatively, based on his EBay stuff perhaps $5-8 million Jeff. You could have retired & taken several of us into retirement w/ you. ;>)

On one site someone asks. 'How do you know your Jade is the largest in the world?'
She replied. She talked to Botonists, plant experts, who supposedy said it was THE largest and worth 300,000.
She also stated, her local plant dealer offered her 20,000.00 a couple years ago..HA!!! If there is someone stupid enough to pay that amount, she should have taken him up on his offer. Toni

Whats the big deal about this plant, you grow it out side in a half barrel, and move it into the house in the winter, wait until it sets its flowers. I'm so glad none of you fell for his/her pitch. That was the give away that the whole thing is phony, so glad that I belong to a smart forum. The largest/tallest one I ever saw was 12-15 ft tall, the widest one 12 feet across and only 3 ft high under a Pine tree, but I think that was several of them planted in a circle and just bushed out. They have been removed because of leaf drop. Norma

In California you see bigger jades in the compost piles or at the local dumps as trimmings. Wow, a fortune I've lost!

Stan,

Exactly the thought I had when I realized now that the hundreds of kilos thrown away years ago....like the baseball cards one's Mom threw away.

If any of you get to Ohio, take a trip to Kingwood Center in Mansfield. It's not only a wonderful stroll through 47 acres of beautiful gardens, a old mansion that allows you to sit and read a huge collection of botanical books, and vast collections of many types of plants, but they also have a huge greenhouse.

In that greenhouse is room decicated to cactus/succulants and in the middle of it is a huge jade, has to be at least 8 feet tall, wish I had a pic, got to take one the next time I visit. And this is a jade grown in Ohio, I can't imagine how tall they get when able to be grown outdoors.

In short, I kind of find it hard to believe this is the tallest jade, lol.

And to think I'm proud of my 2 foot tall one, but then again, I did start it from a tiny piece.

I actually liked this line in the description, but there is an obvious typo:
"Very easy to take care, just give lots of TLC"
should be
"Very easy to take care, just give lots of THC" to yourself and it will seem to be the largest jade plant in the world or you won't really care one way or the other.

CITBA,

Yes, we want pictures. That sounds like a great place to visit for a day or two.

This is how they get outdoors in San Diego, but the one behind me was much smaller than it is now and I'm not so blonde. There used to be 4-5 more of those, but I removed them to expand the garden - into the dumpster went almost all of them and into the chumpster I went for not properly getting rid of them - ah, the fortunes which would have rivaled a sultan's, or a sultana's, I don't know which. This is the aforementioned GWOJWKL.

DR,

That is rather contradictory, isn't it, indicating imprecision in speech as well as outlandishly overpriced C. ovata offerings. Still, I think your solution is outstandingly botanical and sensible.

Cactus, is the guy in the pic, John Lennon? Toni

Toni,

You and lots of Koreans apparently think so of the guy. Personally, I don't see it.

I wish I could get $5.00 for mine including the pot. I guess I should let them grow in bigger pots, and ask $7.00
ea per cutting, I missed the boat. Norma
