Re: Aloe ID
Aloe arborescens?
Re: Aloe ID
I have one that looks very much like this that came labeled as Aloe humilis 'Hedgehog'
Re: Aloe ID
It has the look (form) of an Aloe 'Blue Elf' (thought by some to have A. humilis as one parent), but is not the right color for it. Doesn't seem large enough to be A. arborescens & the teeth don't look quite right either. What I've seen of A. humilis 'Hedgehog', the form looks similar, but the color should be a lighter green (blue?) look to it as well.
So, sorry to say, don't know!

Re: Aloe ID
Could it be a variation of Aloe vera? I have some very similar plants that I was told was Aloe vera, but has that bushy, weedy growth habit rather than what one would usually expect.
It’s not the fall that kills you; it’s the sudden stop at the end.
