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.

Durable
Size: 5.75 inch (Pack of 1), Size: 5.75 inch (Pack of 1)
Great buy would highly suggest for dogs that love to chew. I bout a large one for our 5 year old Husky and a medium one for our 11 week old puppy. Both are very intrigued by them and the puppy loves playing fetch with it. The only complaint I have is the size difference between the large and the small. I know measurements were given but the medium looks more like a very small stick. If you have a larger go with the Large size. Medium would really only work for smaller size dogs and pups

Hours of entertainment
Size: 5.75 inch (Pack of 1)
I lived this branch bone for my pups. They like to carry it around and chew on it for hours. Not only does it look cute when they walk around with the branch in their mouth but it keeps them entertained and no mess. Not heavy but I wouldn't suggest throwing it, it would still hurt a bit if it hits one of your shins 😅. Long lasting too

They actually last!!!!
Size: 9.5 inch (Pack of 1)
My pitties are CHEWERS!! Most toys don’t last more than a few minutes, if they’re decent then maybe a day or two but these sticks are still going strong!! I ended up getting more cause I was so happy they actually lasted and you can’t beat the price!! My older male is a lot more into toys than my female but now we got a 4 month old bully pup who’s teething and tries to chew on everything!! They are slightly big for him as of right now but he can still easily chew on them and is growing fast -it’s more him trying to run with it in his mouth that is a little hard but they do have smaller options - I love that they can just chew on these for hours and hardly make a dent! If you have aggressive chewers these are a great buy!!
