All of the aloes were grown outdoors in southern California and are very strong and hardy plants.  This aloe can be planted in pots for the patio or in outdoor landscaping for a dramatic look. The picture that you see is of the primary plant and it is shown for you to appreciate it’s beauty. The plants are grown together in the same conditions but variations in shape and sizes do occur.  No two plants are ever identical. 


***The Aloe arborescens that you are bidding on is THE ONE IN THE SECOND PICTURE.  It is one of the offsets or "pups" that has been repotted from the primary plant in the first picture.  It is approximately 5-6 inches in height with 6-7 leaves.  It does have an established root system. These plants grow very quickly.  It is important to plant the aloe immediately upon receipt. Great care is taken in selecting, packaging and shipping your aloe to ensure your satisfaction.
