Red elephant tree
Red elephant tree is a deciduous shrub or small tree typically seen in dry, rocky habitats. It stands out with its peeling, papery bark and pungent, resinous sap, a signature trait among its genus. The leaves of red elephant tree are compound, often with a lush green hue, contrasting with its stark environment. Small, inconspicuous flowers give way to winged fruits, which aid in wind dispersal. Adapted to arid conditions, red elephant tree thrives in full sun, withstanding prolonged dry spells.
