Jade (Crassula ovata and the related Portulacaria afra) is technically a succulent, not a tree, but it's trained and shaped exactly like traditional bonsai species. Its thick, water-storing leaves make it exceptionally tolerant of missed waterings — a genuinely good choice if under-watering, not over-watering, is your usual failure mode with plants.
