An exceptional, multi-branched collector’s specimen of Dorstenia gigas bullata, the legendary succulent tree endemic to the remote island of Socotra. Highly prized for its swollen, pale-green basal caudex and thick branching crown, this plant features distinct, textured foliage with vibrant green leaves displaying pronounced pale central veins.

Product Highlights & Features:
