Mark's common name may reveal his quirky sense of humor, but if you saw the haphazard growth pattern you'd chuckle and agree. It may be a slow growing jade only a weird plant collector could love, but if you're looking for a Southwest scene in container, ground or outdoor railroad set-up, here's your miniature saguaro cactus stand-in.

Clearly its common name demonstrates how easy it is to have bonsai look with not much intervention. It grows into a tree on its own. While it'll eventually reach 3 feet or more, you have many years to play around with it before you have to haul out a wine barrel sized container. KAREN
