Hercules Aloe, Aloidendron 'Hercules'
A popular and unique looking succulent, Aloe ‘Hercules’ is a large, fast-growing, evergreen tree-like aloe adorned with a straight trunk crowned with thick branches topped with explosions of fleshy, broad, triangular, blue-green leaves. Beautiful, large, conical, bright orange flower spikes with green tips are borne in profusion above the foliage on mature plants. They appear intermittently from spring to fall. ‘Hercules’ is the result of a cross between the large Tree Aloe, Aloe barberae and the smaller Quiver Tree, Aloe dichotoma. A beautiful silhouette for the Mediterranean landscape and xeriscape garden.
