Aloidendron dichotomum (Quiver Tree)

Family: Asphodelaceae
Common Name: Quiver Tree (Kokerboom)
Origin: Native to Southern Namibia and Northern Cape, South Africa

Description:

An iconic tree aloe featuring a stout trunk and dichotomous branching that crowns with rosettes of blue-green succulent leaves. The bark bears golden-brown scales, while powdered branches reflect harsh sunlight. In mid-winter, it blooms with tall, yellow flower spikes favored by sunbirds.

Its slow growth and sculptural form make it a living symbol of arid-land survival—thriving for decades under extreme conditions.
