Alluaudia procera, known as the Madagascar Ocotillo, is a tall, upright succulent tree native to the spiny forests of southern Madagascar. With its spiny, segmented stems and small, rounded green leaves that line the branches in perfect symmetry, this unusual plant adds an exotic, architectural flair to any collection.
In cultivation, it grows as a leafy column, often compared to a hybrid of cactus and tree. The deciduous leaves emerge during the warm growing season and may drop during cooler months or dry spells, making it both drought-tolerant and visually dynamic.

Frost-sensitive—best kept above 50°F. Protect from cold drafts and freezing temps. Add a [Heat Pack] when shipping during colder months.
