Leaves are large, broad and succulent, light green to greyish green to blue-green, having a broad base tapering to a sharp point, covered with spines on upper and lower surfaces and maroon- colored teeth with orange tips along leaf margins.

Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
