Bursera Hindsiana
Bring the captivating beauty of the Baja California desert to your home with Bursera hindsiana, commonly known as the Red Elephant Tree. This fascinating succulent is a true conversation starter, boasting a unique, swollen trunk (caudex) that resembles an elephant's foot, topped with a crown of delicate, aromatic leaves.Its sculptural form, vibrant colors, and intriguing growth habit make it a prized addition to any succulent collection or xeriscape garden.
Features:
Unique Caudex: The most striking feature of this plant is its swollen, bulbous base, which serves as a water reservoir, allowing it to thrive in arid environments. The bark is smooth and ranges in color from reddish-brown in younger plants to a light gray in mature specimens.
Delicate Foliage: The leaves are pinnately compound, with 5-7 leaflets, each with a slightly scalloped margin. They are a vibrant green when new, maturing to a deeper shade, and emit a pleasant, aromatic scent when crushed.
Seasonal Interest: In the fall, the leaves turn a beautiful golden yellow before dropping, revealing the sculptural beauty of the trunk and branches.
Drought-Tolerant: As a desert native, Bursera hindsiana is incredibly drought-tolerant, requiring minimal watering once established.
Low-Maintenance: This resilient succulent is easy to care for, making it a perfect choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners.
Ideal For:
Xeriscapes & Rock Gardens: Its drought tolerance and unique form make it a perfect fit for water-wise landscapes and rocky terrain.
Container Gardening: Its moderate size and sculptural beauty make it a stunning addition to pots and containers, adding a touch of the exotic to patios or balconies.
Collectors: Due to its unique growth habit and captivating appearance, it's a highly sought-after specimen for succulent enthusiasts and collectors.
Care Tips:

Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
