Portulacaria afra Aurea also known as Yellow Rainbow Bush, Yellow Elephant Food is native to Namibia in Africa where it is a favorite pachyderm snack.

This slow growing low sprawling succulent groundcover has reddish brown stems and pale yellow to light green ¾ inch rounded leaves. The leaves emerge bright yellow with a faint trim of raspberry . The youngest leaves are the brightest ; as thy mature , they deepen to yellow-green as they also acquire a dusting of tiny silver flecks.

The Yellow Elephant Food is a very easy to grow succulent that works as a great bonsai plant, hanging basket or a ground cover in near frost free climates.

Rarely seen lavender-pink flowers may appear if the plant is stressed due to prolonged lack of water. If it does flower it  would make a nice contrast against the yellow leaves.

We are offering a well-established plant that is about 6 to 8 inches wide and about 3 inches tall

We are open to the public by appointment only, please call us at (805) 969-9178 so we can explore dates and times for our get together. Weekdays between 2 pm and 6:30pm are best . GPS guidance will get you to our mailbox which is located approx. ¾ mi. from the Ranch on a single lane mountain road. We are not easy to find and generally discourage visitors who just want to look, I do this for several reasons , some of which are to limit the traffic on the private one lane road so my neighbors are not inconvenienced, not fill up our very limited parking spaces, and minimize the interruptions on our operations so I am able to have more time to spend with family.
