The Miniature Pine Tree, or Crassula tetragona, is a delightful succulent shrublet that resembles a tiny conifer. Its upright, branching stems are densely clad with awl-shaped, bright green leaves, creating a fine-textured, pine-like appearance. Native to South Africa, it grows up to 3 feet tall and spreads slowly, making it perfect for containers, rockeries, or bonsai training.
