Awesome Frankincense tree from the island of Socotra. In habitat, it grows in rock fissures and rocky escarpments with full sun and little water. In cultivation, this plant responds well to plenty of water and fertilizer during the growing season, but is reduced in the winter when the plant becomes somewhat dormant. Fabulous scent to the leaves when crushed.
Leaves are purplish grey-green and deeply lobed; bark is white. Makes a nice, natural bonsai. Relatively fast growing when treated well. 4” pot. GNARLY piece! Shipped in pot. Please do not unpot this plant for at least two months. They are very fussy about having their lives disturbed. It needs to recover from one thing at a time. Make sure it is actively leafing out before you do anything to it.
