I am not a professional nor an expert in Burseraceae taxonomy. Any help with ID and spelling are always welcome. To up-date my list I've been using many books, journals, catalogs and other web-sites. It's been helpful, but I have more work to do. I only ship to the main 48 States. I do ship in the winter. I have 72+ hour heat packs for $4.00 each. No international shipping. Please read the front page for ordering information. Please list the name, number and price of the plants when ordering.
Please Note: All the plants listed below are taken outside in the spring to grow in full sun, rain and any other weather that comes along. The plants are pruned in the Spring for them to have bonsai look. Plan on doing some wiring of the branches and main stems to add to there shape. These can be grown in the ground in frost free climates. These where taken outside the second week of May, 2023. As of May 25 they have really started to leave out.
Listed below are front and back photos of each plant.
