Euphorbia acrurensis

The Euphorbia acrurensis, commonly referred to as the Cowboy Cactus, is a striking, upright succulent with tall, ribbed, columnar stems that form a candelabra-like shape. Its vibrant green stems are often accented with ridges of small, golden spines, creating a bold and architectural silhouette. Native to Africa, this drought-tolerant plant can grow up to 2–3 meters tall in ideal conditions, making it perfect for feature planting, xeriscaping, or as a dramatic indoor plant.

Despite its cactus-like appearance, Cowboy Cactus is a euphorbia and requires similar care to other succulents.

How are ex-ground trees prepared for delivery?

All ex-ground trees are carefully dug with their rootball intact to preserve the root system and minimize transplant shock. Each tree is stabilized and treated with specialized solutions to promote health during transit. The rootball is wrapped to retain moisture and protect it from damage, and water crystals are added to provide essential nutrients and hydration for the journey. These meticulous preparations ensure your tree remains healthy and ready for planting, whether it’s traveling across the country or overseas.
