Common Name: Tree Euphorbia Euphorbia ingens is a beautiful wonderful plant that grows fairly quickly because it is not a Cactus but more of a Succulent. If you are looking for a low maintenance addition to a rock or suulent garden this large cactus-like tree is ideal. It is well suited to dry areas and is very attractive with its dark green trunk, yellow to yellow-green flowers and dark red to purple fruits. The latex of this tree is extremely toxic and can cause severe skin irritations, blindness and severe illness to humans and animals if swallowed.
It is said to be used by the Venda and Sotho people as a cure for cancer. Branches are used as a fish poison in South Africa and Zimbabwe. The wood from the main trunk is light and tough and is used to make doors, planks and boats. A fire is made around the tree before it is cut down to set the sap.
