Sometimes called Dwarf Jade because of its resemblance to a miniature Jade Plant, it's actually a completely different plant native to South Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe “Elephant Bush” name is wonderfully literal. In the wild, elephants really do eat it, along with tortoises, antelope and other animals. Broken branches left behind by feeding elephants can even take root and grow into new plants. Its tart, succulent leaves are edible to humans too and are traditionally eaten in southern Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver time, Elephant Bush develops thick, woody stems and can grow into a beautiful miniature tree, making it especially fun to prune or train as a bonsai.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🎁 A great gift for succulent lovers, beginners, or anyone who appreciates a plant with a good story\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🏡 Available for local delivery or in-store pickup\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🚚 Hand-delivered with care in the Portland area\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLANT CARE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e+ Light:\u003c\/strong\u003e Loves bright light and direct sun.
