Overview

Tree Aloe (Aloe barberae) is a majestic, evergreen succulent reaching up to 50 feet tall and 10 feet wide. Known for its smooth, grey trunk and beautiful rosettes of blue-green leaves, this aloe produces pink-orange flowers in winter. Preferably grown in USDA zones 9-11, it requires full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Perfect as a focal specimen, it offers drought tolerance and low maintenance for warm, arid landscapes.
