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. HUGE specimen. Rooted cutting- forms a natural tree.
Leaves are purplish grey-green and deeply lobed; bark is white. Makes a nice, natural bonsai. Relatively fast growing when treated well. 3 feet tall in 1 gallon pot. Shipped bare root. Please do not torture the roots of this plant. They are very fussy about having their lives disturbed. It needs to recover from one thing at a time. Pot it up IMMEDIATELY, water it and KEEP IT OUT OF THE SUN for at least 3 weeks! Make sure it is actively leafing out before you do anything major to it.
