This species of Dracena actually makes a rather large tree. It has thick silver leaves. It is native to the Canary Islands. It has the peculiar habit that, after a lengthy time, any given branch stops growing and then bifurcates or trifurcates, giving a very branched pattern. The trunk can get quite thick. It has fragrant white blossoms. It likes full sun and is cold hardy only into the mid-twenties F. This tree wants full sun and does get rather large.
