Aloe bainesii is a succulent tree known for its large size and tree-like form, with a thick, forking, gray trunk and branching stems of mottled-gray bark and rose-pink or orange flowers that bloom in winter. Ideal as a solitary accent, focal point, or large container plant. Prefers full sun to partial shade (especially in hot, inland climates). Best in well-drained loamy soil, but will grow sandy or rocky soil. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Fire-resistant. Resistant to Verticillium Wilt. Cold hardy to 25°F.
