Back to buying optionsBoojum Tree Live Plant – Fouquieria columnaris | 2 Inch Potted Starter | Rare Desert Tree | Dormant Winter Grower
Add an exceptionally rare and unusual desert plant to your collection with this live Boojum Tree, Fouquieria columnaris. Boojum Trees are uncommon in cultivation and naturally grow very slowly, making young specimens a unique choice for collectors of rare plants. This starter plant is approximately 2 inches tall and currently growing in a 2-inch pot. It will be shipped in its pot to help minimize transplant shock. Please note that Boojum Trees are winter growers and may enter dormancy seasonally. Plants shipped during dormancy may have fewer leaves, with some leaves yellowing, drying, or falling naturally. This is a normal seasonal process and does not necessarily indicate a problem with the plant.
You will receive:
✔️ 1 live Boojum Tree plant
✔️ Botanical Name: Fouquieria columnaris
✔️ Approximately 2 inches tall
✔️ Growing in a 2-inch pot
✔️ Shipped in its pot

💡 Care Tip: Handle this tiny Boojum carefully and avoid unnecessary transplanting immediately after arrival. Provide strong light and a very well-draining growing medium. Because Boojum Trees are winter growers, their foliage may naturally decrease as the plant enters seasonal dormancy. Some leaf loss during this period is expected. Avoid overwatering during dormancy and monitor the plant for renewed growth as its active season begins.
