Mundulea sericea | Cork-bush for sale | Kurkbos 

Corkbush (Kurkbos) is frost hardy and marginally drought tolerant. It is a small, semi-deciduous tree with an informal growth form. The tree is known for its silver-grey leaves and corky trunk.  Mundulea sericea exhibits beautiful clusters of purple flowers, usually after receiving good rain. It has a non-aggressive root system and does well in a container.  These characteristics, combined with the fact that its fully grown size is rather small, makes Corkbush an ideal choice for a small garden. Mundulea sericea is a popular bonsai.
