I am not a professional nor an expert in Anacardiaceae taxonomy. Any help with ID and spelling are always welcome. To up-date my list I've been using many books, journals, catalogs and other web-sites. It's been helpful, but I have more work to do. I only ship to the main 48 States. I do ship in the winter. I have 72+ hour heat packs for $4.00 each. No international shipping. Please read the front page for ordering information. Please list the name and number of the plants for ordering.

Please Note: All of my Anacardiaceae are taken out in the spring to grow in full sun, rain and any other weather that comes along. The plants are pruned in the Spring for them to have bonsai look. Plan on doing some wiring of the branches and main stems to add to there shape. These can be grown in the ground in frost free climates. These where taken outside the second week of May, 2024. It's October 2024 these plants are starting to going dormant for there winter rest.

 Operculicarya

The Operculicarya has a twisted, knobby trunk, called a caudiciform from Madagascar. There are a lot more fat roots that is down in the pot that can be raised. That has over-arching branches with a canopy of round, shiny, dark-green tiny leaves. They are great for people that like to do bonsai. Some of the plants in the photos have had a little pruning.
