African Jade Bonsai Tree


Here is one of my larger Bonsai. This is an african jade also know as elephant toes. Most of  my trees are outdoor Bonsai, though this one can't be allowed to freeze. Many of the trees that you see in the malls this time of year are tropical bonsai, so if you are considering purchasing one or  more, then take the time to learn what your new tree will need to survive.
 I collected this tree from Hawaii about 10 years ago. When it arrived from the islands the container and plant was badly broken. The original planting was in a large piece of lava, it was repotted and trained in cascade. Estimated to be 25 years old.
