Dwarf Jade: Although it is a shrub, it also comes with small succulent leaves similar to the Jade plant Crassula ovata, and as it’s too similar to the Jade plant, it is called the Dwarf Jade Plant.

Interesting Facts
The taste of spekboom leaves are pleasant but changes throughout as the sun rises and sets. During the day leaves have an acid flavor and they become less acidic towards the evening. The delicious greenery is heavily browsed by game and firm favorite of several wild animals, especially Elephants!
Portulacaria leaves are high in Vitamin-C, have a juicy crunch and make a nice salad garnish. They do taste sour. Eat green leaves only; those that are variegated are bitter.
