if anyone can give me any advice on this i would be very very appreciative!!! i have a large jade tree that i recently inherited. it was originally kept in deep shade outside in the sf bay area. i currently have it in the brightest upstairs east-facing room of my house (when i tried to put it outside in sun the leaves burned, shade outside didn't seem to work either, but it has been dropping green leaves lately, sometimes shriveled, sometimes not (i only water it once every other week or so...haven't had it through winter yet). my other problem is that some (not all) of the new leaves are coming in misshapen. a few leaves have brown scars on them, and a lot of the branch joinings seem to be putting out roots. if anyone knows what i am doing wrong or something i should do that i am not please let me know, i really don't want to lose this tree.

thanks!!!!

you could try gradually moving it from the shady area to the sunny area, step by step. For example, move it to a less shady area for a week, then an averagely lit area, then a slightly sunny, etc etc etc...
The jade would have noticed the sudden change of light and wouldn't have been able to cope with it.

If that fails, you could always cut off and plant some of those branches with roots, that way you can start again.
