jamesicus said:Nice photo and plant Karen -- I am familiar with that plant. The tree-like Aloe dichotoma grows well for us in the Tucson area.



Pretty much the same here, Thijs




I use The Plant List for all my plant nomenclature. You can copy and paste a Latin Plant name such as
Melocactus matanzanus into the The Plant List Search box to see synonyms, the author's name and additional information

Hi James,

very nice picture of both the Aloe dichotoma and some big chunks of what looks like petrified wood if I am not mistaken...
My A. dichotoma start off from about a 4" tall seedling in 2008 and is now about 3-3.5' tall. It is about to go into the ground so I hope that will help it grow a little faster. It had a companion but that stayed wet too long in its pot one year at around 2.5' tall, I still have the top 8 inches or so and having trying to get it to re-root, but it has not so far, but has shown an incredible ability to still look somewhat alive...
