You would be correct. Both very nice indoor plants, though they don't make the best material for bonsai. I'd enjoy them for what they are. ;)

I'm pretty sure your 2nd tree is a Portulacaria afra (P. afra for short, commonly referred to as a dwarf jade or elephant bush), not a 'true' jade (Crassula ovata). P. afras have trunks and branches that are more reddish than C. ovata and much smaller leaves. Both are succulents so there isn't a huge difference, in theory. I can't keep P. afras alive for more than a year but have had much success with C. ovatas. The one that I haven't given away I've had for about 7 years. I think that the P. afra is just much more sensitive to over or under watering.
