Often called 'Fire Sticks,' Euphorbia tirucalli has an unknown original locality but now is widely distributed in the Old and New World Tropics, typically used as a living hedge. This spineless Euphorbia forms a large shrub or tree , and the white sap produced when the branches are broken or disturbed is extremely toxic and easily burns skin. We have grown this plant outside in Tucson, where it can withstand 26F with some protection. These plants are rooted cuttings in 5-inch pots.
