Aichryson tortulosum

(Tree Sedum)

Previoiusly offered as Sedum sediforme, this is a curious succulent something like a miniature jade plant. Its single stem, branching pattern, and curled leaves give it the appearence of an 6" tall tree with a dense crown. It has been used as a sort of bonsai, but we don't suggest this if you want to stay in good standing with your bonsai club. It seems to like a little more water and a little less full sun than most succulents, and is an indoor plant for most of the country. Yellow Sedum-like flowers in summer.
