Plant of the Day
Saturday 11 July 2026
An impressive specimen of Euphorbia ingens ‘Marmorata’ (marbled candelabra tree). This plant can reach up to 10 metres tall, with a columnar, cactus-like form and multiple branches emerging from a thick central trunk. However, in the U.K. it is a glasshouse or conservatory plant and may not have the space or conditions to reach those heights. The plant's white milky sap is poisonous and is an irritant to the skin and eyes. Always wear gloves when handling.
