Aloe africana
african aloe
Description
Aloe africana, also called the African aloe, is a striking succulent with a tree-like growth habit. It can grow to a considerable size, forming a trunk with a crown of fleshy, green leaves. The leaves are often adorned with reddish-brown teeth along the margins, adding to its visual interest. It produces impressive, tall inflorescences with bright yellow or orange flowers. This aloe thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. It is relatively drought-tolerant once established, making it a good choice for xeriscaping. When planting, ensure there is plenty of room for its mature size and provide good air circulation.
