Elephant Bush

In South Africa they are known as "Elephant Bushes" because elephants consume them, and they can account for as much as 80% of an elephant's diet. They are extremely resilient, and will re-grow new leaves and branches in a week or two after being eaten almost to the ground. In areas where they are not  "trimmed" by elephants, they can grow to six feet or more.   Like the Hawaiian Umbrella Tree it is the perfect bonsai for an office, or for someone who has little direct sunlight available, or who is away from their home or office for days at a time.
