Portulacaria macrophylla gigantea

Bull Elephant Food

This native to South Africa is the largest and most impressive of the elephant’s food family. Grows into a large shrub up to six feet with arching, cascading branches. Very easy to grow and does equally well in landscape settings or as a container specimen. Loves our desert heat, but protect from freezing temps. Likes a well draining soil and allow it to dry thoroughly in between waterings.

  • Also known as “Bull-ephant”
