Re: jade plant

Thanks Theresa.  I don't think I'll chance it.  It's funny:  I have raised
tens of thousands of plants but I still can't intentionally sacrifice one if I
know it doesn't stand a chance.  What a weenie!

I've had one in a pot very large for many years and has been fine- until 
last
winter.  Froze back severely and thought I was going to lose it 
entirely.  It
is gradually making a comeback- but will never be as 
gorgeous as it once
was.  And I had the pot up next to the house, so it 
was fairly protected.  I
think you are more temperate that we are, so 
you might get away with it
there.  Worth a try anyway.
