A pachycaul native to Madagascar where it attains tree-like dimensions. In cultivation it responds to pot size and will remain dwarfed if kept in smaller containers. The silvery trunk is thick and covered with heavy spines and is crowned with light green, six to ten inch leaves. Very easy to cultivate and useful in xeriscaping in frost free areas. Makes a good house plant, and often goes by the name of 'Madagascar Palm' but of course, it is not palm at all. 

Pachypodiums go dormant in winter and lose their leaves. Do not be alarmed by this natural leaf drop.

An outstanding African species with a thick, silver trunk that can become very fat and squat, with many contorted branches. Showy when in bloom, with clusters of white flowers, it is deciduous in winter. Strong light and generally hard conditions make more attractive specimens, and a old plant may take on the caudex size and shape of a soccer ball, with contorted, narrow branches to about 24 inches. Native to south-west Africa, from southern Zimbabwe to northern Natal. It is an easy species to grow.
