This species is the classic tree Aloe from the Western and Eastern Cape Provinces of South Africa, extending eastwards into Lesotho. The single-stemmed tree can reach heights of 9-12 feet if planted in the ground, or it will stay smaller if kept in a pot. The orange-red flowers are produced in the winter and are frost sensitive, while the plant can easily take 20F. We offer seedlings of this species in one-gallon pots.
