Dracaena aletriformis
The Large-leafed Dragon Tree is an evergreen plant growing to a height of up to 5m, occurring in coastal and montane forests from the Eastern Cape to the escarpment in Limpopo. It is also a popular feature plant in shady gardens, its flowers being a magnet to bees, moths and butterflies and its berries being rather popular with frugivorous birds.
Ons gaan juis weer die naweek naby ‘n woud deurbring … ek gaan bietjie uitkyk vir hierdie Dragon Tree!
