Bursera microphylla 'Elephant Tree' 'Torote' is a beautiful desert tree admired for its thick, swollen trunk, peeling silvery bark, and delicate aromatic foliage that gives it a natural bonsai-like appearance. Native to the deserts of the southwestern United States and Mexico, this drought-tolerant plant thrives in bright sunlight, warm temperatures, and well-draining soil. During periods of dormancy, it may drop its leaves to conserve moisture before flushing out with fresh growth again. Its sculptural form makes it a standout specimen for collectors of caudiciform and xeric plants. This plant is generally considered pet friendly, though it is still best to discourage pets from chewing on any plant material.
