Bursera Hindsiana

Bursera hindsiana, affectionately known as the Red Elephant Tree, is a captivating succulent that brings a touch of the Baja California desert to your home. This unique plant is renowned for its distinctive, swollen trunk, or caudex, which resembles an elephant's foot, making it a striking focal point in any collection. Crowned with delicate, aromatic foliage, this succulent offers a blend of sculptural beauty and desert resilience.

Key Features:

• Distinctive Caudex: The bulbous, reddish-brown to light gray trunk serves as a natural water reservoir, enabling it to thrive in arid conditions.   
• Aromatic Leaves: The pinnate, vibrant green leaves emit a pleasant, aromatic scent when crushed, adding a sensory dimension.
• Seasonal Transformation: In autumn, the foliage transitions to a beautiful golden yellow before shedding, highlighting the trunk's sculptural form.
• Drought Tolerance: Native to arid climates, it is exceptionally drought-tolerant, demanding minimal watering.   
• Sculptural Appeal: Its unique shape and texture make it a conversation starter and a prized specimen for collectors.

Care Essentials:

• Sunlight: Thrives in full sun exposure.  
  Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings.   
• Soil: Requires a well-draining cactus or succulent mix to prevent root rot.   

Ideal For:

• Xeriscapes and Rock Gardens: Its drought tolerance makes it perfect for water-wise landscapes.
