Aloidendron dichotomum (syn. Aloe dichotoma)

The Aloidendron dichotomum, also known as Aloe dichotoma or quiver tree, is a striking succulent tree native to the arid regions of South Africa and Namibia. Its name comes from the dichotomous branching pattern, where each stem splits into two, forming an iconic umbrella-like canopy. Its blue-green leaves are thick and fleshy, arranged in dense rosettes at the tips of the branches, while its bark peels to reveal a smooth golden color. The Aloidendron dichotomum can reach impressive heights but retains a unique and sculptural form, even when small.
