Euphorbia eritrea

The Euphorbia eritrea, commonly known as the Candelabrum Cactus, is a striking succulent plant with an upright, branching habit that resembles a candelabra. Native to arid regions of East Africa, this evergreen species features tall, columnar stems with ridges adorned by small, paired thorns. Growing up to 4–6 meters in height in ideal conditions, it is a bold architectural plant perfect for xeriscaping, rock gardens, or as a dramatic indoor specimen.

Despite its cactus-like appearance, Euphorbia eritrea is not a true cactus but shares similar low-water requirements, making it an excellent choice for water-wise landscapes.

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.
