Back to buying optionsBoojum Tree Live Plant – Fouquieria columnaris | 2 Inches Tall | 2-Inch Nursery Pot | Rare Desert Succulent Tree | Slow-Growing Exotic Plant
Add a rare and fascinating desert plant to your collection with this Boojum Tree live starter plant (Fouquieria columnaris). Native to the Baja California region, the Boojum Tree is admired for its unusual upright growth habit, distinctive appearance, and rarity in cultivation. This extremely slow-growing plant makes a special addition to succulent collections, cactus gardens, and exotic plant displays. Each young starter plant measures approximately 2 inches tall and comes in a 2-inch nursery pot to help minimize transplant stress during shipping. Please note that Boojum Trees naturally enter dormancy during certain seasons. Plants may arrive with fewer leaves or some dried and falling foliage during this period. This is a normal seasonal process and does not necessarily indicate poor plant health.
