Aloe alooides

Aloe alooides Details

Aloe alooides is a variety of Tree Aloe grown for its interesting foliage and impressive flower stems. It bears succulent and fleshy, green leaves with small teeth that are held in a downward manner. Stems emerge during winter to bear tubular, red and yellow flowers. It typically grows to 2 m tall and 1.5 m wide, growing best on a well-drained soil in full sun. It tolerates moderate frost once established, coastal environments, and extended dry periods. Aloe alooides is commonly used as an architectural feature, included in coastal and Mediterranean themed gardens, or planted in the drier areas of the garden.
