Flattened "muscular" trunks and exfoliating bark, revealing the white inner bark, add an extra special interest to the tree. If the soil does become too dry, the leaves will dry up and fall off; but in 2 weeks it buds out again. And by the 4th week the tree will be covered with new leaves and shoots!
This tree can be grown from cuttings and large branches can be air-layered to form good small trees quickly!
