Louise1:
Aloe species only have leaves at the ends of the branches...they don't grow leggy...however, the growth can be sparse which is typical. This species of Aloe can grow very tall to more than 50 feet / 15 meters tall and has many branches.

Are they a long or short lived species ?

This photo is of species Aloe bainsii - Tree Aloe in bloom.
See who else has plants in genus Aloe.
I love the colour of the flowers, very nice.
This plant looks 'leggy', does it just get fresh growth at the top ?
