R270.00R540.00

Operculicarya pachypus

Native to madagascar. It is a small deciduous pachycaul tree up to 1.2 m tall similar to the much more common Operculicarya decaryi. Compared to O. decaryi, Operculicarya pachypus tends to stay more compact with the trunk growing in a conical shape and looks like an odd bonsai tree. Another distinguishing factor is that the Operculicarya pachypus branches are glabrous, zig-zagged and its roots often swell to form unique contorted and twisted designs.

Sowing instructions: Sow seeds in summer in a well drained medium.

Locality: Toliara, Madagascar. Harvest: November 2024
