Aloe ferox (Cape Aloe)

A tall single-stemmed aloe to 6 to 9+ feet tall with a rosette of dull blue-green 2-3 foot long leaves. The leaf edges, and leaf surface on young plants, are adorned with reddish spines and the older leaves dry as a "petticoat" on the stem. In late fall to mid-winter appear the bright red flowers with inner white petals that are held above the foliage in a large upright candelabra-like inflorescence with 5 to 8 branches.
