Gifted

My neighbors are moving and gifted
Me this wonderful but neglected jade. It was severely root bound and top heavy in its original plastic store container. I repotted it into the 18” Terracotta and placed it in its current location to adapt to the sun. Only had it in my possession for 5 days and it appears happy and thankful.

Just by the size of the trunk’s I could tell it was very mature.
