Aloe Dichotoma plants 3 years old Kokerboom/ Quivertree, succulent plant

The quiver tree or Aloe dichotoma is probably the best known aloe found in South Africa and Namibia. This distinctive tree aloe has smooth branches, which are covered with a thin layer of whitish powder that helps to reflect away the hot sun's rays. The bark on the trunk forms beautiful golden brown scales, but beware, the edges of these scales are razor sharp. The crown is often densely rounded as a result of the repeatedly forked branches, hence the species name dichotoma. (dichotomous meaning forked). The blue-green leaves are borne on terminal rosettes, but in juvenile plants the leaves are ranked in vertical rows. The bright yellow flowers are borne from June to July. Plants are about 12 cm tall. A teaspoon was used to give scale. Price is for 1 plant. RSA customers only
