Aeonium arboreum (Tree Aeonium) - A nice medium-green succulent which forms branched stems 3 feet tall, looking like a miniature tree. Rosettes are formed at the ends of the stems. Yellow flowers form long clusters in mid spring to early summer. It grows in full sun near the coast and partial shade inland. Water occasionally to infrequently. Hardy to 27 degrees F. This plant is great along the ocean and tolerates drought and is reportedly resistant to deer predation. While not as unique as the red leafed selections this plant is a great addition to the garden where a green foliage plant is wanted and its tall bare stems holding the flatted rosettes can be appreciated. Aeonium arborescens is native to Gran Carnaria Island in the Canary Islands.
The information about Aeonium arboreum displayed on this page is based on research conducted in our library and from reliable online resources. We also relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we visit, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments we receive from others, and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
