Aloe africana
Single stemmed to 12ft., solitary rosette with marginal spines. Hardy to 25F.
The common name in South Africa for this lovely tree aloe is Uitenhagse-aalwyn. The bloom stalks on top of these 10-12ft. trees will get an additional 8 feet taller. Impressive! They’re found in a small part of the Gamtoos River Valley east to Port Alfred, particularly the Uitenhage District, hence the common name. Lowland, it grows coastally.
The Gamtoos River Valley is… so peaceful, so serene, so close to nature, Â its hard to believe that Port Elizabeth`s Green Acres Shopping Centre is only 55km away!
