Aloidendron ‘Samson’

Description

Aloidendron ‘Samson’ is another striking, very robust and architectural ‘tree aloe’, perhaps a little smaller than its cousin ‘Hercules’ with leaves a mid green, lanceolate and slightly arching, often edged with pinkish spines.  If you’re lucky, wonderful salmon-coloured flowers will be produced during the summer.  ‘Samson’ is a hybrid between Aloidendron barberae and Aloidendron ‘Ramosissima’.  Another Aloe suited to cooler climates with higher rainfall, ‘Samson’ has potential for good growth and possible hardiness in milder parts of the country.
