Alluaudia comosa

Very particular succulent, consisting of a thin woody stem that tends to branch rapidly giving rise to wonderful shrubs several meters high! Each branch is characterized by even 4 cm long and robust thorns, well straight and strongly pointed, which are arranged individually with their greyish hue similar to the woody branches. In the vegetative period this pretty shrub is enriched with small, light green, roundish and fleshy leaves, which create a lively and pleasantly contrasting effect with the ferocious thorns.
