Well, Andy, the pic is sideways. Also, I can't tell how much surface area has been fused.

This plant is actually not a Jade at all...not even in the same family or order of plants. This plant is Portulacaria afra, the "Elephant's [Food] Bush," Spekboom, from South Africa. As such, the woody trunk is much tougher than a Jade's, and I do think you could carefully cut - with a sharp implement - the two trunks apart with minimal damage or scarring.

Or....you could grow the trunks this way as a novelty. Your choice.

I love when trunks naturally fuse together! Very unique.

Sideways it is. No idea about that one haha..

I'm hesitant to cut it, but i see two trees that will look better as individuals imo.

Portulacaria Arfica..also known as elephants bush or dwarf jade? Or am I mistaken?

Cheers, Andy.

Josh (greenman) identified it for you:
"...plant is Portulacaria afra, the "Elephant's [Food] Bush," Spekboom, from South Africa."

Sometimes mislabeled as dwarf jade or baby jade.

Compact Jades do exist :-) 'Crosby's Compact' is one of the more common in the trade.

Ok then, cool.

To your earlier comment, the fused area is about the size of a .50 cent piece.

Andy.

I think it'll handle the separation well...of course, it'll leave a fifty-cent scar :-)
