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. Cut flat to the bark rather than concave to minimize scarring.

The weight of the water in jade's leaves will cause the branches to naturally droop, lending to cascade style if the foliage is pinched and guided properly. Control the direction of growth by pinching off at a set of leaves that are growing in your desired direction. Remove the terminal bud from branches to stop their growth. Pinching normally needs to be done each week during the growing season on this vigorously growing bonsai.

Looks Sharp! Stiff, Balloon Comfort!
Color: Black, Size: XX-Large
I purchased the PJ PAUL JONES Men's Oxford Button-Down Shirt as a gift, and it comes with a mix of strengths and trade-offs. The buttons are plentiful and high quality, and the inclusion of a couple of spare buttons is a thoughtful touch. The color is a deep, rich shade just as I hoped, giving the shirt a sharp, professional appearance. The fabric has a noticeable texture that looks like cotton, but the heavier thread count gives it a sturdier, more rugged feel, (almost outdoorsy) rather than the soft, premium cotton I expected. My biggest concern is that it may feel scratchy against the skin and less comfortable for long hours of wear. The shirt is also quite boxy in shape, with little to no side curve, which limits ease of movement and can cause it to crease or untuck when bending or sitting. Overall, it’s a durable, well-constructed shirt with a polished look, but comfort and fit may be an issue if you prefer softer fabric and a more tailored, flexible cut.

Nice quality, true-to-size, great value!
Color: White, Size: Medium
Very nice quality for the price point. 100% satisfied, and will definitely be purchasing more. I found this to be true-to-size > I bought a medium, and I am 6’2’ with a 40” chest 15.5” neck, 30” waist - “athletic” build, and this has a nice, nearly tailored, fit to it. The brown buttons (on the white) are a nice stepped-up touch, which had multiple people ask me where I got my shirt.

Great suit
Size: 12, Color: Mint Green, Size: 12, Color: Mint Green
Very nice suit. Love the material. My 11 year old is tall and slim- 5’3”, 80 lbs. I got a size 12 for the length. The jacket fit perfectly, the pants was good length and has elastic in the waist to adjust for size. Overall, it’s a good suit and I’d recommend it.
