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.
