Aloe barberae – Tree Aloe | The Giant of the Succulent World
Create a commanding focal point in your landscape with Aloe barberae (formerly Aloe bainesii), the largest Aloe species on Earth and one of the most striking architectural plants in cultivation. Native to South Africa, this majestic tree aloe can reach up to 10 metres tall in ideal conditions, forming an unforgettable presence in large gardens and tropical or xeric landscapes.
Its thick, grey-brown trunk supports beautiful rosettes of arching, dark green leaves that shape a sculptural, umbrella-like canopy. In late winter to early spring, mature plants produce clusters of pinkish-orange tubular flowers, attracting nectar-feeding birds and pollinators.
Despite its towering size, Aloe barberae is surprisingly easy to grow. With full sun, free-draining soil, and space to mature, it becomes a long-lived landscape centrepiece that only grows more impressive with time — a true living sculpture.
