Euphorbia grandialanata, known as the Milkweed Plant or Candelabra Tree, is a large succulent that is native to South Africa.

It is a gorgeous and rare thorny columnar species with a solitary or branched trunk. Upright at first then branching from the base to form a spreading bush. Rarely more than 2 metres tall.  The branchlets are deciduous and shed continuously as new ones are formed resulting in a bare trunk with irregularly spaced branch scars. The lower branches curve upward giving the tree the shape of a candelabrum.

The trunk is naked, straight, grey to dark grey, brown or blackish-grey with a gnarled appearance up to 25 cm in diameter. Branchlets 10-12 cm in diameter pale green with marked striping/variegation conspicuously 4 winged (occasionally 3-6) with characteristic narrowing and widening looking-like a chunky string of beads. The triangular or heart-shaped segments are approx 15 cm long. The segments of young plants usually are much larger than those of older plants that have smaller and somewhat rounded segments.

It has spines that are about 15-30 mm long, paired that protrude laterally and regularly along the ribs of columns, spine shields forming a continuous ridge.

Produces flowers that are petal-less and look like small yellow buttons. Yellowish green, peduncled, small bisexual, arranged in 3 parallel rows along the ridges between the spines on the terminal segments towards the tips of the branches . They are clustered in cymes each with by 3 cyathia with the male flowers at the tip in the centre of the row, and the bisexual flowers below on the outside.

Prefers a frost-free climate but very suitable for growing in pots.

For sale is a packet of 10 fresh seeds.

ALL SEED PACKAGES COME WITH A SET OF SEED PROPAGATION INSTRUCTIONS.
