Elephant Bush (Portulacaria afra) - 4"

The hardy, forage-safe desert shrub.

With thick reddish-brown stems and plump succulent leaves, Elephant Bush mimics natural dry-scrub terrain while offering natural enrichment. It acts as both a safe climbing structure for smaller lizards and a nutrient-dense, edible browse for curious omnivores and herbivores that like to sample their greenery.
