Plant of the Week


Pachypodium geayi
Pachypodium lamerei


Madagascar Palm

This is an excellent plant for our desert climate. Thought it's a succulent from southern Africa, it provides a wonderful "tropical effect" to our desert gardens. The spiny trunk has a profuse green leafy head with fragrant white plumaria-like flowers in the summer. Plant will be 15 to 20 ft tall at maturity. Plant in a desert landscape with morning sun, afternoon shade.
