I have a new grandson - my first - and when they thought he might be born on Halloween, I just started thinking of him as Spooky Spekboom for some reason ... : )
He wound up being a bit later than that, but the nickname “little Spekboom“ stuck (the poor kid with a weird grandmother). So, of course, I used the opportunity to acquire another bonsai, a Porticularia afra or corkbark dwarf jade, aka Spekboom.
The tree will live with me, and as the grandbaby grows, so shall the tree, and I will teach him about it’s care and when he visits we will trim it and put the edible leaves in our salads! Maybe, someday, he will care enough to take possession and cherish it himself.
I bought the tree from Housguy on this forum, They provided great photos and it was packed and shipped very well, with not even a single leaf drop.
Introducing the two little Spekbooms and their progression thread!
