Lol, this guy has a thick trunk but is only about a foot tall. They get much bigger.

How old? I posted my Jade it's kind of sickly and leaning over now. .. :(

Got this as a very large cutting about 5 years ago. The parent was very mature at least 20 years old

This makes me excited to keep caring for my Gollum until he gets this big! Time to start researching pruning. I didn’t know the name so I call it my Shrek plant.

The trunk will thicken faster if you hold off on pruning. I normally only prune branches that begin to flop, but this one was shedding branches from lack of light last winter
