About Aloe thraskii Baker
This species, commonly known as dune aloe, is a tall, fast-growing, unbranched aloe that grows a very large rosette. Its long, pale grey-green leaves are deeply grooved or channeled, forming a U-shape in cross-section, and curve downwards. Its orange and yellow flowers form short, compact, cylindrical racemes that grow on multi-branched inflorescences. In the wild, dune aloe occurs naturally in dune vegetation along the coast of KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape, South Africa.
