Notes

Tree aloe (Aloidendron barberae) is a succulent for borders and low maintenance gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and dry, sandy or loamy soil. It is evergreen and drought tolerant, so it needs little care once settled. Give it plenty of room, since it can grow tall and wide.

Pairs well with Narrow-leaf chalksticks, American century plant, and Silver carpet.
