Dwarf Jade Bonsai (Portulacaria afra) – Tall Silhouette, Dramatic Movement, and Aged Character
This Dwarf Jade is built around a tall, twisting trunk with rugged, mature bark and a confident, upward flow. The branching is layered and intentional, creating an airy canopy that feels light and tree-like, more “savanna tree” than “succulent shrub.” It’s the kind of silhouette that reads from across the room.
Nicknamed the “Elephant Bush,” Portulacaria afra is prized for its resilience and ability to regenerate. With water-storing succulent leaves, it’s one of the most forgiving bonsai you can own—perfect for growers who want a refined look without constant worry.
