Yes! It's never too early to prune for a nice bushy plant.

I have never pruned my Jades. Where are you supposed to prune? Off the top?

My research says you prune whichever direction you want it to grow to make for a bushier plant! Each cut will provide two new stalks and they’ll usually grow in the direction the leaves are growing towards where you decide to cut
