About

This distinctive succulent tree features robust, erect, angular stems that branch symmetrically, resembling a majestic candelabra. Its striking architectural form makes it a unique focal point in the landscape, bearing small yellowish flowers followed by characteristic two-lobed fruits.

Where it works in Kilifi

Ideal as a bold specimen plant in full sun, this drought-tolerant tree thrives in well-drained, sandy coastal soils. Ensure ample space for its mature spread, making it a dramatic focal point in larger gardens or dry landscapes.

Growing notes

A fast-growing species, it requires minimal watering once established and tolerates harsh, dry conditions. Handle with care, as its milky white sap can cause skin and eye irritation.
