Aloe arborescens, commonly known as the Candelabra Aloe, is an Aloe grown for its interesting foliage and impressive flowers. It grows as multi-stemmed plant bearing succulent, green leaves that have small teeth on the margins. In winter, short stems rise above the foliage to bear small, tubular, red flowers. It typically grows to 1 m tall and 1.5 m wide. Aloe arborescens is often used as a feature plant, added to coastal gardens, in mixed plantings, or grown in a container. It is great for the drier areas of the garden, particularly where winter interest is desired.
