Aloidendron Ramosissimum for Sale and Care Info (Formerly Aloe Ramosissima)

Description: Aloidendron Ramosissimum is a slow growing shrub that is known for its many branches and smooth, white stems, and pale blue fleshy leaves. It is without a doubt the most profusely branched of all aloes. It will form a succulent bush up to 4ft tall and wide. Other than it's low branching habit and smaller leaf size, it is virtually identical to Aloe dichotoma, and some consider it a subspecies of A. dichotoma. 

Stems: This aloe forms many branches from the ground level. This is the only significant difference between A. dichotoma and Aloidendron Ramosissimum, formerly Aloe Ramosissima. Branching continues as the plant becomes older, resulting in a dense, almost spherical shrub. The trunk is normally very short smooth and covered with strips of satiny, waxy, powdery silver-pink-brown coloured bark, which acts as a sunscreen in the harsh climate. The plants tends to be longer-stemmed and less branched in more arid areas.

Leaves: The branches end in small rosettes of fleshy, oblong leaves, each up to 200 mm long and 20 mm wide at the base. The leaf colour is glaucous-green or yellowish green, often with a pinkish tinge. The margins have narrow edges with small brownish teeth; base encircling the stem.

Flowers: Bright yellow, comparatively large, tubular, conspicuous, swollen, fleshy on a usually 3-branched short inflorescence, up to 200 mm long.

Blooming season: Winter: Definitely slow to flower, like Aloe dichotoma, takes quite awhile before it blooms, the first flower will be produced when plants gets 1-1,5 m of height (about 10 to 15 old).

Fruits: Shiny and smooth dry capsule that split into three, remaining fused at the base.

Seeds: Narrow, winged, up to about 30 x 18 mm.
