Planted in the ground they can get as tall as a one story house if in the right environment. It’ll take years for that to happen;).

Could you post a pic of the area you’re trying to fill with Jade?

I could see that Kara. The first time I went to CA I saw a jade in the ground that was my height and bigger around then my arms stretched out. I was super impressed!! Absolutely stunning when they are the size of trees.

Can't post pics, but it's just the sidewalk side of a lawn.

I often see older ones in my neighborhood about waist high. I think the very tall ones are unusual.

You can see my jade tree behind me in my front yard in Venice, although it is a bit back-lit. It also reached about seven feet tall, and I've not seen them get much bigger. They are also common on my street in Westchester, but I only have small ones now, and they seem to grow rather slowly. They get covered with white flowers in January.

Back-lit? I'd say that's front-lit.

I'm never posing in front of a 7' again - you are our official model.

I think they'd be nice as a hedge. So easy to prune to keep the size you want. Just snap off the offending bit. (And maybe stick it in the ground where you want the hedge a little thicker.)

I'm the the east bay (zone 10ish) and they will get as wide as you let them here. Mine have much denser foliage than the ones shown above.

Jade plants get to 5 feet indoors

Sorry guys, no good!

While I'm a great fan of colors (am a Quilter), Lars' vibrantly colored outfit completely steals the show. Also, his pic is too backlit to see if the Jade is in bloom (I think not).

McHarris' pic is so perfect w/ his white shirt, the late Cleo across his shoulders & the white wall behind them. Pops even better while the Jade is in bloom; I LOVE that pic!

Sorry Jeff, I protest you retiring that pic. ;>)

Retiring the pic? How does one do that on the Internet after having shared it repeatedly? But you're spot on with the Lars commentary - how can we see the plant when the model takes our eye?

Clio was a great one for riding around on the shoulders. These current seven, not so much.
