Euphorbia ingens - Cadelabra Tree

Such an apt common name.

Euphorbias are certainly a diverse species!

Bernieh:

Yes, it appriate for how it grows.

Mageth:

I can't begin to say how many species of Euphorbia is grown here. It almost endless.

How long would it take to grow to this size ?

Terratoonie:

According my neighbor, who has many...he says they can grow from a 3 foot /1 meter cutting to 8 feet/ 2.4 meter in a little more than a year. I would say they are fast growing, however, to develop the many, many side branches would take maybe about 10 years...just a guess. They do grow very large and tall (to as least 33 feet/10 meters tall) as you've probably seen in my past photos.

This one in the photo looks a nice size and shape...

Terratoonie:

For this size yard it's perfect! They can be trimmed back so they don't grow too large. Many times the large branches are given away to friend or family to make new plants. You just stick them in the ground and they grow... it's very easy!

This one is a nice shape too wonderful how they grow like it, simular to desert plants.

Sixpence:

The species of Euphorbia develops the same shape on all trees...not unless punned. This Euphorbia is native to tropical deserts of Africa.

Ahrr that explains then the shape of desert plants as I said earlier.
