Didierea madagascariensis

Remarkable tree from the spiny dry forest of southern Madagascar, to 6 metres in height. Columnar at first, later branching. Keep mostly dry during its long dormancy in winter but needs water when leafy and growing.

5.Indoors OK, Outdoors not OK.

Long green leaves but spines to protect them are just as long.
Didierea madagascariensis dormant Oct 03
Springtime: leaves coming, spination ready.
