Aloe ferox - Cape Aloe

Now that's really something !
I did 'not' expect to see the base/trunk, i thought it was just the leaves .... into /on the ground.

Amazing, isn't it!!....very majestic :-))

Truly eye-catching ! :o)

I also thought it would be just leaves.

the brown around the trunk is old leaves like on a tree fern or cordyline...i think....

Many species of Aloe develop trunks in time.

Thanks everyone!

Sandra:

You're correct...sometimes the old leaves are removed and the trunk is visible.

A magnificent specimen.

Rbtkew:

There's many specimen this size and larger all over the city...and around the state.
