    I don't say this but this but in my personal opinion I think this is so far the best spekboom I've seen thus far. An Ive been following lots of guys on different platforms cause bonsai has me interested. An most of the guys aren't local like Dr swartz.. I'm a colored from Cape Town an I'm gana go out on a limb an say for the good Dr skepboom grows in his back yard am he an couple of buddies got together to do some sleep over jeep hike trip seeking trees maybe the spekboom it self lol. So Mr doctor thank you for... Not sure how to put it in words but it just feels different when someone speaks about something indigenous to the country that's from the country sometimes special through all this country. You should do more of this doctor lol so I can learn more

    Indigenous trees remain vastly underappreciated in South Africa, making it a rarity to encounter someone with such an astounding collection of them. What's even more remarkable is Dr. Andre Swart's distinctive approach, drawing inspiration from African-style trees rather than solely adhering to traditional Japanese styles. Visiting his Bonsai Paradise was a true blessing. I look forward to returning in the future to delve deeper and ask more questions.

    Calling a spekboom (Portulacaria afra) a dwarf jade (Crassula ovata) is technically incorrect, as they are totally different species, and "dwarf jade" is a misleading name.

    Hi Ray, thanks for the comment. Yes, you are 100% correct. I live in Cape Town, and obviously we call it Spekboom here but in many countries overseas its called Dwarf Jade and even Jade plant . We cant choose what common names these beautiful plants are given in other countries.
