Yemen Tree Aloe (Aloe Sabaea) - Rare Tree-like Succulent Plant - Grown in Elfin Forest, California

🌿 Description

Aloe sabaea is an elegant, unusual aloe species native to Yemen. With its graceful, arching leaves and spineless edges, this aloe has a soft, almost draping silhouette — quite distinct from the upright, spiky appearance of most other aloes.

This is a tough, drought-tolerant aloe that thrives in dry, warm climates with little maintenance. The upright form and single-trunk potential make it a favorite for desert-style landscapes and architectural gardens. It's one of the easier, faster aloes to propagate—and we love how it colors up in full sun.

Each plant is grown in Elfin Forest, California, and sold by pot size and approximate height. Please refer to the photos for visual examples of each available size.

Larger specimens may be available upon request — please contact us if you're interested in a bigger size.
