Aloe plicatilis
"Fan Aloe"



     From the Southern Cape Province of South Africa, Aloe plicatilis is a branching tree like Aloe that gets to 15 feet tall in the wild. Unlike most Aloes it's leaves are arranged opposite each other rather than in a rosette, hence the name "Fan Aloe".
     I got this one from Shoal Creek Succulents late last year. It didn't do well at first but this year is finally growing some new leaves. It goes in the ground somewhere next year.
