Description

Aloidendron barberae, formerly known as Aloe barberae and commonly referred to as the Tree Aloe or Barber's Aloe, is a stunning and architectural succulent tree. Known for its impressive height and unique, sculptural form, this plant is a striking addition to any landscape, particularly in arid and subtropical regions.

Flowers

The Tree Aloe produces tall, branching inflorescences that bear clusters of tubular, pink to orange flowers. These blooms appear in winter, attracting pollinators such as birds and bees, and add a splash of color to the otherwise green landscape.

Foliage

The foliage of Aloidendron barberae consists of long, narrow, sword-shaped leaves that are a bright green. The leaves grow in rosettes at the ends of the branches, creating a dramatic, spiky appearance. The leaf margins are often lined with small, harmless teeth.

Form and Size

Tree Aloe is known for its tall, tree-like form, typically reaching heights of 10-18 meters with a spread of 3-6 meters. It has a thick, branching trunk that supports a broad, rounded canopy. The unique silhouette and height make it an excellent focal point in gardens.

Growing Conditions

  • Soil: Prefers well-drained, sandy to rocky soils. It can tolerate poor soil conditions but thrives in fertile, well-draining substrates.
  • Sunlight: Requires full sun to partial shade. Full sun exposure promotes robust growth and flowering.
  • Water: Drought-tolerant once established. Requires moderate watering, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering should be avoided.
  • Climate: Suitable for warm, arid, and subtropical climates. It can tolerate light frosts but should be protected from severe cold.

Uses

  • Specimen Plant: Ideal as a focal point in gardens and landscapes due to its dramatic and sculptural form.
  • Xeriscaping: Perfect for water-wise gardens and landscapes where drought-tolerant plants are required.
  • Public Spaces: Often used in public gardens, parks, and large landscapes for its striking visual impact and architectural appeal.

Maintenance

  • Pruning: Minimal pruning required. Remove any dead or damaged leaves and spent flower stalks to maintain appearance.
  • Fertilizing: Benefits from occasional feeding with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season.
  • Pest and Disease: Generally pest-resistant but can be susceptible to aphids and mealybugs. Monitor regularly and treat as needed.

Notes

The Tree Aloe is a remarkable and low-maintenance plant that adds a dramatic architectural element to any garden or landscape. Its unique form, impressive height, and drought tolerance make it a popular choice among gardeners and landscapers.

One of the Best Watch for the Price
Color: Black/Gray
Second time purchase of this model. The strap on the first one broke after 5 years and the original battery is still in it. Just found out that you can purchase replacement swap from Timex direct or through retail stores like Walmart and Target. The replacement straps are about $12. I mentioned this because as other reviewer of this watch or similar mode, the major con is the strap seems to break after several years. The other con of this watch is that the “start/split” button which is used to change time zone is on the face of the watch of the watch. It is slightly raised, so it is easy to accidently change time zone when sleeping. This watch looks good, very rugged, have taken it out many times snorkeling and shows no indication of water leakage. The oversize display is easy to read. The indigo light makes the watch easy to read at night and the night feature when turn on, will auto-light the display when any button is pressed. I travel a lot and really like the three time zones. Another hidden feature not mentioned by others is the custom menu feature. You can selectively pick the features you want to use and reduce the number of features you have to cycle through. This is an excellent everyday watch, very rugged, and accurate. On the previous one, I didn’t have to reset the time at all during the 5 years of use. The number for Timex Support is: If you can't find your strap, you can also order one by calling our Customer Service Department at 1-888-727-2931. I also had the traditional size display before discovering the oversize mode. The oversize is a lot easier to read.

Works great, rugged, and worth the money!
Color: Black/Gray
Just purchased my second of this watch as a replacement. The first lasted about four years of abuse before the straps started to crumble. No battery or other issues. It had survived Afghanistan, numerous field exercises, mud, sweat, rain, wind, etc. and was well worth the $35 I spent on it. It is easy to adjust the time and has a handy 2nd time feature if you're between two time zones frequently or jut want to know the time back home. Everything else is what one would expect from the Ironman series. Lightweight, good backlight (indiglo), not obnoxiously large, rugged, good chrono/timers/alarms.

Good Watch
Color: Black/Gray
I have an old 30 lap Ironman. This one is larger than my previous one and has more features. It took me a little while to fully figure out how the new "occasion" feature works, but I can honestly say that I will probably never use that feature. This is a good watch, but the old one is easier to read at an angle. I did not measure the angle that the other segments become visible enough to interfere with viewing the time, but I do know that it is less than my old one. I have to twist my wrist a little more to view the time than I did with the old one. My old one is over 10 years old and still keeps excellent time. I replaced the strap and battery a couple times. The plastic part on top of it broke off when I dropped it at the airport about a year ago. Eventually the whole top fell off. I glued a plastic piece on to replace the "start/split" button. The wife decided that my repair was too ugly to wear in public. I still wear the old one around the house just to bother her! Hopefully this new one will last as long. I may have to get a Velcro strap for this one. The plastic one looks better, but the Velcro type is more comfortable.

Good watch that can take a beating
Color: Black/Gray
I have owned a Timex IronMan watch for almost 2 decades now and this will only be the 4th one I’ve bought. I wear it every day, and I rarely take it off except when I shower, but that is just because I want to wash my wrist. Between my time in the military, working on cars, swimming, and wildland firefighting I have never had one break on me. I’ve never even had a battery actually die. Every time I’ve replaced a watch is because the backlight eventually got so faint I couldn’t read the time in the dark. I have had the pin that holds the clasp on come off once, but that was when I had my hand jammed down in an engine trying to remove a part and the watch got caught because I didn’t take it off first. The only thing I am not crazy about is the size of this watch. Being a creature of habit, I normally get the smaller Ironman, but I thought I’d try something different and I guess it will just take some getting used to. Overall I am very pleased with this watch.

Good watch
Color: Black/Gray
I've had other Timex watches like this one and they have always been reliable and easy to use. I want a watch that has a large face and can be seen when I'm exercising or in low light. I use the timer feature often and it is great. I'm very pleased with this watch. I know it's a men's watch but I'd love to see more Timex watches for women with large faces, similar features and bolder colors.
