Madagascar Palm
Madagascar Palm is not really a palm but a member of the same family as Oleander (Apocynaceae). This drought hardy succulent plant stores water in an enlarged spiny trunk and produces leaves and white flowers at the apex of the thorny stems. In its native habitat of Madagascar it may reach 15 feet or more in height. Photos by Laurel Woodley
