Euphorbia dendroides
Known as ‘tree spurge’, the delicate Euphorbia dendroides grows into a small tree or a succulent shrub. Its dainty light green lanceolate leaves emerge in clusters at the branch tips, appearing with tinges of red and purple if exposed to intense sunshine over the growing season. Able to reach heights of 2 metres tall, Euphorbia dendroides often develops a thick and woody trunk at the base for support, with the scars from its spent leaves leaving clearly visible patterns all along its branches. As protection from extreme heat, to limit transpiration, the plant may begin to shed its foliage during the hottest summer months.
