Buy Commiphora kataf

Commiphora kataf , Leaves in Commiphora are pinnately compound (or very rarely unifoliolate).  Bark is often exfoliating, peeling in thin sheets to reveal colorful, sometimes photosynthetic bark, below. Stems are frequently succulent, especially in species native to drier environments.

It is a genus that includes hundreds of species, all of which are shrubs, that in nature become imposing trees; therefore they all have woody stems with light bark, often papery in appearance which tend to flake off to leave space for the living green one below it.

Many of the stems take on the appearance of a real caudex, widening at the base to store water – this is one of the reasons why it is such a sought-after plant, excellent as a bonsai!

In response to wounding, the stems of many species will exude aromatic resins.
