Malagasy tree aloe (Aloe vaombe), a member of the Asphodeliaceae family, is one of the most beautiful large tree aloes, which makes it a stunning centerpiece specimen for frost-free gardens in USDA Zones 9b-11.Aloe vaombe was first described by J. Decorse Poisson in 1912. Its specific epithet comes from the indigenous name “vahombre.” Native to southern Madagascar, Aloe vaombe is an unbranched succulent that grows to 12 feet or taller, with large single rosettes of 5 feet in diameter. It has long, smooth, recurved green leaves with white teeth. These leaves are curved and cup shaped when viewed in cross section and take on a deep red color in cold or sun. Its fiery, deep-red, tubular flowers are borne in erect branched racemes in mid-winter, attracting bees and birds. Planted in full sun and watered sparingly once established, the plant grows much faster and becomes fuller with regular irrigation. It thrives in limestone soil, similar to the dry, thorny scrub in Madagascar, and it is drought resistant in a variety of climates. However, it won’t survive outdoors below 25 degrees Fahrenheit.
