Large Jade Tree (Crassula ovata) Sourcing: Not Available Here

No Jade Tree for Sale

The expert (Will Creed) clarifies he is not selling plants. He suggests checking local nurseries, garden centers, or online specialty succulent sellers for a 2–3 ft jade.

Where to Look

• Local independent nurseries (often carry larger specimens).
• Botanical garden plant sales.
• Online: Mountain Crest Gardens, Leaf & Clay, Succulent Market, Etsy sellers.
• Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace (mature plants from collectors).

Buying Tips

• Inspect for mealybugs (white cotton in leaf axils).
• Check stem firmness—no soft spots.
• Ensure it's in well-draining soil, not peat-heavy mix.
• Ask about shipping method (bare root vs. potted).

Large jades are slow-growing, so expect to pay for age. A 3-ft specimen is 15+ years old.
