Jade lovers delight

This is a P. Afra 'Lilliput' it is not as corky as 'Frank' but it gets good corking and the leaves are, well, I'll show you. I would say at least 1/4 that of 'Frank'. This one needed a hair cut. and I messed up most of the cuttings but will try again. Don't worry I'll be getting these out soon. :) Oh, BTW the corking on these shows up after only a year maybe 2 on some of the slower ones.

Those leaves are super small and very unique. Put me on the list for a cutting please.

You got it bro! You want it rooted or just cut and shipped? I can't cut too much off the mother in one go it's my wife's LOL! They are super aggressive, two 2" pots filled that whole bowl in just under 3 years. Some of the branches are well over an inch.

Next stop in USA just south of Phoenix to collect cuttings. Check!

Either way works for me, as long as we wait until it’s warm enough to safely ship. Btw, the Texas ebony seems to be liking the grow tent. 😁

I was digging through one of my boxes of pots that I had not seen in about 6 years and found a little gem from Sonny Boggs. So I put a Lilliput cutting in it. WAY too nice of a pot but hey, why not? Note, there has been zero work on this aside from taking the cutting and plopping it in a pot about 3 months ago. It's got a surprising amount of roots by now. It needs quite a bit of clean up and then some direction but it's pretty cool as is.

With all this summer rain my garden jade wounds are rotting back into the trunk.
I decided to dig it up, clean it out and keep dry.

These rooted with no issues, the biggest one is even flowering, despite being in the shade most the year! Not sure what I will do from here, any ideas?
In full bloom now and decorated by my daughter for CNY. It could probably stand on it's own roots and needs a bigger pot come Summer:

You guys that wanted liliput starts message me and let me know if you want established or just unrooted cuttings. I have a few established that I did not screw up. However, I know you can ship unrooted cuttings because I have a bunch of 'Frank' cork barks that I got this way and they did fine. Anyways let me know!

Would love to have the variety but.. I will not be able to get them into the EU.
