These stunning examples of dwarf jade (Portulacaria afra) bonsai highlight the incredible versatility of this resilient succulent species. The first image showcases a dynamic, single-trunk design with impressive exposed roots (nebari) and a gracefully curving, textured trunk that supports distinct, well-pruned pads of foliage. The second image displays a captivating "forest" or multi-trunk style, where several slender, upright trunks are grouped together in a shallow, scalloped tray alongside a decorative rock to create a dense, unified canopy. Both styles feature the plant's characteristic fleshy, bright green leaves and demonstrate how expertly this drought-tolerant species can be trained to mimic the majestic, weathered forms of full-sized trees.
