Pachypodium lamerei is a striking stem succulent from Madagascar featuring a thick, silvery-gray trunk covered in sharp spines. It grows as a small tree or shrub, reaching up to 20 feet outdoors, with a crown of long, glossy green leaves. This semi-deciduous plant produces fragrant white flowers with yellow centers. Ideal for succulent gardens or as a houseplant, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It requires minimal water during dormancy and is sensitive to frost.
