Tree Aloe, Aloe bainesii, Aloe barberae
A spectacular silhouette in the landscape, Aloidendron barberae (Tree Aloe) is a large, fast-growing, evergreen tree-like aloe adorned with a gray, smooth trunk and a rounded, neat crown of fleshy, deep green, recurved leaves. Arranged in a dense rosette, the leaves are long, narrow, deeply channelled, curved and adorned with toothed margins. Beautiful, large, cylindrical, salmon pink flower spikes with green tips are borne in profusion above the foliage on mature plants. Aloidendron barberae is Africa’s largest aloe. A striking sculptural Tree Aloe for the Mediterranean landscape and xeriscape garden. Give it room to grow.
