Euphorbia trigona

Also known as African milk bush, friendship cactus and candelabra cactus, Euphorbia trigona is not a tree, bush or cactus. While the succulent African milk tree grows successfully in United States Department of Agriculture hardiness zones 8 and 9 with winter protection, it thrives best in zones 10 through 12. The sun-worshipping African milk tree is native to western Africa and won’t tolerate freezing. Among the lowest-maintenance of ornamentals, this plant’s exotic beauty and imposing form belie its undemanding attitude and disdain for pampering.
