THICK TRUNK – FLESHY BLUE-GREEN LEAVES
As most of you know, we grow a limited number of succulents. But, I couldn’t pass up showing you some fairly large 25 gallon Aloe hercules that we got in. This plant is a hybrid between Aloe bainesii and Aloe dichotoma. It forms a thick trunk when mature. When juvenile it is thinner as shown here with a single head of foliage. Mature height can reach 30 feet. It is a sun loving species with a cold hardiness reportedly down to 20 degrees F. It can die if overwatered so give it minimal water. We’re putting nice one gallon on Specal. The last photo is by Agaveville website.
