Commiphora wightii Guggul Tree, Indian Myrrh

Commiphora wightii Guggul Tree, Indian MyrrhCommiphora wightii Family: Burseraceae. Young plants of this nice caudiciform woody shrub or small tree with peeling bark. The leaves and stems have a strong fragrance when cut. Makes a perfect candidate for succulent bonsai. Easy to grow. Likes bright light or full sun. Water regularly during the growing season. Keep dry when it drops its leaves in the fall. Protect from frost. Young plants tend to be long and straight, but can be easily trimmed and

but can be maintained as medium to large bonsai type potted plant

Because it is grafted it only requires general cactus care (it is much more sensitive on its own roots)

hence the similar name

The tuberous roots can be raised when the plant matures
