I love that thread, too. I've looked at it often trying to get some idea of how to prune my overthrown mini Jade...but continue to draw a blank.

Mine is not bonsai, nothing like it--- and I know it needs something drastic done, but despite my boldness (read: no qualms, no fear) with pruning everything else, I can't seem to take a pruner to this one. I'll look at it for 30 minutes and trim off one downward hanging branch and walk away. Haha. Part of the problem is that I actually like the way it looks, even if I know it's not doing the plant any favors.

I did mention it was overgrown, right? LOL

I also know that thread it's a great one! I have the same dilemma, lol.
