Re: Looks a bit like e. knuthii, but not quite
I don't think E. knuthii grows a central stem like that so that rules it out for me. www.euphorbia.de is usually a very good reference but it seems like it's down. Does anyone know why? Shame if it's taken down.. it was the go-to site for Euphorbia identification for me.

Thus far I am leaning towards E. gradidens as an ID with E. longispina as a close secondkak tus wrote: ↑Fri Nov 27, 2020 4:04 pm I don't think E. knuthii grows a central stem like that so that rules it out for me. www.euphorbia.de is usually a very good reference but it seems like it's down.

Re: Looks a bit like e. knuthii, but not quite
Definitely not knuthii. Looks just like a rooted cutting of Euphorbia sekukuniensis. This one usually grows like a branch rather than a tree from rooted cuttings unless drastic cultivation steps are taken. Mine finally started growing like a tree after the main cutting died.
Grandidens is another good guess but is is not likely to be longispina. We had an E. grandidens growing unfettered at the university I attended. It was a very nice tree the last time I visited their greenhouses.

Euphorbia sekukuniensis looks to me like a better fit
