The Candelabra Tree is a massive, structural succulent native to the arid regions of southern Africa. Often mistaken for a cactus, it is prized for its thick, vertical stems that branch upward to form a dramatic, multi-tiered crown. This low-maintenance species is covered in small, sharp spines and can reach towering heights in its natural habitat. Note that when damaged, it secretes a milky-white latex sap that is highly toxic and an irritant to the skin and eyes.
