Madagascar Palm
Pachypodium lamerei

The Madagascar Palm is a striking, succulent tree-like plant known for its thick, spiny, gray trunk and a cluster of long, narrow, glossy green leaves at the top. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, it offers excellent heat and drought tolerance. Despite its name, it is not a true palm—but its bold silhouette and exotic form make it ideal for desert-style gardens, tropical accents, container plantings, and landscapes needing a dramatic, low-maintenance specimen.
