These are the North Africa/Central Asian cousins to Bursera (a literal member of the Burseraceae family). C. wightii are often used for medical purposes, incense & perfume. We love the intense, peeling bark and the stunted/compact branch growth. To achieve that, you should give them lots of light & trim branches to promote denser/specific growth.
