Not too old. As you will figure out yourself in few years when it really grows :)

Hi, thanks. Do they grow fast or slow?

Hi, your money tree, or Crassula ovata, might be two or three years old. They can eventually get to perhaps two metres tall, but they'd have to be very old to get to that height!

Looks like a rooted cutting so some of it might be a few years old but only a few months since it was cut from its parent. If you get the conditions right a mature plant will be flowering now

Be careful with frost. That is how I lost my big one.
