Tree Aloe (Aloidendron Barberae) 20litre

The Tree Aloe (Aloe barberae), also known as the Cape Aloe or Quiver Tree, is an impressive succulent native to Southern Africa. With its tree-like structure, this plant can grow up to 6–10 meters tall, making it one of the largest aloe species. Its thick, fleshy leaves are arranged in rosettes at the top of tall trunks, with a unique, sculptural appearance.

Growth & Habitat

Tree Aloe thrives in full sun and prefers well-draining, sandy soil. It is highly tolerant of drought and is perfect for dry, arid environments. While it is more suited to regions with minimal frost, it can withstand brief cold spells if protected. It’s often used in xeriscaping, as it requires very little water once established.

Features & Benefits

• Flowers: The Tree Aloe produces tall flower spikes with vibrant orange to red tubular flowers, which bloom in winter and attract birds, especially sunbirds.
• Low Maintenance: Once established, it requires minimal watering, making it an ideal choice for low-water gardens or desert landscapes.
• Unique Aesthetic: Its striking appearance and architectural form make it a favorite for garden focal points, dry landscapes, and modern outdoor settings.
• Wildlife Friendly: The flowers provide nectar for pollinators, and the plant’s structure can offer shelter for birds and insects.

The Tree Aloe is a stunning, low-maintenance addition to any garden, offering beauty, wildlife support, and resilience in drought-prone areas.
