Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A medium-sized tree aloe reaching heights of over 9 feet. It features slender, pale green leaves that may turn orange in California's warmer months. Its flowering stem emerges in late fall to early winter, showcasing clusters of pale orange buds that bloom into salmon-colored flowers. This variety, technically a form of Aloe barberae, has been affectionately named 'Medusa' by enthusiasts due to its distinct branching pattern and unique flower color.
