Thanks everyone for the awesome comments. We have moved into our new house and it has gotten so big I could just barely get it back inside the house (through our patio doors no less) last fall. I am hoping I can get it out again this this spring. I have observed an interesting phenomenon with my jade. It gets really dense with leaves in the summer (due to the abundance of light) and when I bring it in for the winter it will lose more than half of its leaves. Ok that is not so unusual because it is just responding to the changing light availability. What I think is strange is it will lose only the leaves on the interior of the plant and keep all the leaves on the ends of the branches. It also drops smaller branches. When I return it outside for the spring and summer it fills in again. To me its really a fascinating thing to watch.
