Houseplants Conservatory Greenhouse Trees
An evergreen tree which can grow up to 27m in height in its native Mexico, where the roots can gnarl and twist, stretching out over rocky terrain, and the bark and trunk can be bulbous and twisted in larger specimens, but generally would grow no more than around 2m in the UK where conditions are less favourable. Wide, glossy, pale green foliage, wavy at the edges has pinkish-white veining with tufts of white hairs a prominent feature. Green flowers are followed by pairs of fruits, but these rarely appear when grown indoors. Suitable for bonsai gardening
