Euphorbia ingens - Candelabra Euphorbia

You have such unusual plants, to us in the UK that is!

I can understand how it gets its name...........

this is huge....its great to see what they look like ...thanks..;-))

Theoldgunner:

It's all relative...to us San Diegans...it's just a common garden tree.

Milky, yes the name is very specific. : > )

Sandra, this is medium-sized tree...they can grow much taller and wider.

Staggering! We have a good collection of Euphorbiaceae at Kew but its good to see them growing as nature intended.It's hard for me to single out any of your pictures to comment on as they are all brilliant.Keep them coming!

its great isnt it Rbtkew, the pics on here are better than in mst books i have. thanks one and all..;-))

Rbtkew:

Thanks for your kind words.

I can't drive or walk anywhere here in the
district of San Diego where I live and not see
several species of Euphorbia growing in the landscape.
I will keep the photos coming.

Sandra:

Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoy my photos also.

My goodness hope mine won't grow as big as this.

Sixpence:

Your Euphorbia is a different species. It would never grow this large in a pot. lol! :>)

Thank goodness Andy I was imagining it growing this big in my house lol.

Sixpence:

Many of the larger species of Euphorbia will rarely grow more than 6ft/2m tall as an indoor plant.

Thank you Andy that is handy to know much appreciated.

You're welcome.

:o))

That says "Soucal" just as much as the Beach Boys.

Yes, it's a very common plant here.
