Portulacaria Afra Tree "Elephant Bush" Portulacaria afra, a South African native, is also known as Small-Leaf Jade or Elephant Bush (due to it being part of the African elephant's diet). This succulent makes an excellent plant for beginning bonsai enthusiasts due to its easy care and ability to take to many shapes. In its natural environment the may grow as tall as 12 feet. Because this plant is not a North American native, it cannot be collected in the wild but may be purchased from DallasBonsai.com throughout most of the year. Tree's Attributes: The trunk of this fleshy wooded succulent is green on young plants, turning to a smooth reddish-brown as the plant ages. The dark green leaves are small and round, opposite, and thick because of their high moisture retention. The small blossoms range from pale pink to purplish, and will only bloom in winter when the plant senses changes in the amount of sunlight. Temperature/Lighting/Location: Elephant Bush Tree is considered a true indoor and outdoor bonsai, tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions. It is, however, a tropical and as such cannot be exposed to long periods of cold; freezing temperatures will kill it. When grown indoors the plant should be exposed to natural sunlight through a window, and if not possible, fluorescent lights placed very close to it. Full outdoor sun in appropriate climates will result in fast growth of foliage. Watering: Portulacaria afra, being a succulent, does not need frequent watering. While it will tolerate more water than many bonsai, still, be cautious about over-watering – allow the soil to become nearly dry in between watering. The interesting thing about these plants is that unlike most bonsai, jade gives off clearly visible signs of needing water – the leaves become flattened and may wrinkle. Always use a well-draining soil. Fertilizing: Elephant Bush Tree should be fertilized about every four weeks throughout spring and summer with a well-balanced formula. No special mix or instructions are required. This is a fast-growing bonsai when fertilized and cared for properly. Refrain from fertilizing in the winter. Pruning/Training: Shapes – informal upright, root-over-rock, slanting, full cascade. Forest arrangements can also be quite striking with this specimen. These succulent bonsai are difficult to train by wiring. The branches are fragile and tend to break under too much pressure. Pinching foliage and guiding branch growth via pruning are more effective ways of achieving the shape you want. Extensive pruning is easier if the plant is allowed to dry before removing larger branches and roots.

Order larger size for "Loose Fit"
Color: Mz907-purple, Size: 3X-Large
I bought 5 or 6 of these tops in a variety of patterns and colors to get me through the summer. They're nice but expect smaller than US sizing by about 1 or 1 1/2 sizes. I ordered a larger size with that in mind and it fits to my body with no "loose fit" as shown in the advertisement. The tag on the inside left is extremely annoying and just happens to be the best sewn piece, so remove with care or you'll have a hole in the seam. Ask me how I know. The material has a bit of stretch and is somehow softer to the touch on the outside than on the inside. Other than that, they're comfortable enough, lightweight but kept their shape and size when laundered, nice colors and patterns. One of the tops was a little more vibrant in color than pictured, but overall a good purchase for the price considering I didn't need to drive from store to store trying to find summer tops. Consider the source and look for a few loose threads. Expect shipping delays with customs. My tops came in 3 different shipments over time.

Good for the price
Color: A-mz721- Multicolor, Size: X-Large
The fabric is soft and not see-through, the size is right on and plenty long even if you're tall. My only complaints are that the design is not quite as pretty in reality, and it smelled really bad right out of the package. I had to wash it before I even tried it on.
