Euphorbia grandidens
It is many branched shrub or tree, up to 16 m tall or more, with one to several, main succulent trunks.
The flowers are yellow. The flowering time is from August to October.
This species can make a bold and remarkable, but stylish, statement, and can be an easy and attractive plant to landscape, in the proper climate (in general dry and nearly frost free). It can reach up to 15 m in height.
The plant is easily propagated from cuttings. The plant does not transplant well, and it is a slow-growing species, but fairly cold-hardy. The plant should be planted in a rockery or may be grouped together with a few other small succulents in a container to form a miniature rock garden. The soil must be light and very well drained, and must contain compost and coarse river sand, and should be kept dry to prevent rot.
