Aloe Vera is a species of succulent plant often used in herbal medicine and as a healing salve.

The plant can grow 24-40 inches high and once mature will produce stalks with yellow tubular flowers that reach as high as 35 inches.

Our Aloe started from a 5" pot and has grown quite large in 2 years, produced numerous "baby" aloes that we have distributed throughout the yard. This Aloe is planted on the east side of our home where it recieves an abundance of morning as well as early afternoon sun.
