The dwarf jade (Portulacaria afra) is native to the dry regions of South Africa. It is an evergreen succulent with a reddish-brown trunk and can develop a fine branch structure with thick, green, glossy, oval-shaped leaves. The leaves grow in a cross-opposite pattern on the soft shoots. The focus of this workshop will be on the initial styling and wiring of the tree. Care instructions will be included. All skill levels are welcome.
This program meets in person at the Arboretum.
