The Everfresh Tree (Pithecellobium confertum) is a tropical species from Central and South America. It has pleasantly soft, feathery foliage. Their small leaf size and ability to handle quite a lot of physical manipulation, means that they have recently become popular as miniature indoor trees, especially in Japan, where the tree's appearance looks particularly striking against a minimalist background.
While relatively common to find in Asia, this plant is nearly impossible to source in the US! We're very lucky to have some in stock and once we're out of them, that's it!
You can find beautiful examples of how people have shaped their Everfresh Trees into works of art all over Instagram. Some lovely examples can be found on Instagram at @botanygeek (pictured) and @benji_plant
Conditions:
Warm, full to partial sun, moderate humidity, well draining soil. Always keep moist! Good candidate for a self watering pot.

... almost ready for first pot :)
The tree came in perfect condition, no broken stems nor yellow leaves. I love the layer of moss on the top of the soil, so far it's doing great, and it's pushing out new growths very fast too. I'm so glad to finally be able to get this tree, thank you very much!

Thrilled to be able to order an everfresh tree from a US-based seller. The seedling arrived healthy, very nicely packaged, and exactly as pictured. It seemed a bit stressed about the change in environment at first and shed about half its leaves, but now after a few weeks it has stabilized and is putting out new growth. Thank you!!
Wonderful plants— all packaged with great care. The seller was very communicative and even sent my package earlier per my request. My platycerium and everfresh trees were healthy and transitioned beautifully in my home!
