5gal Butter Tree SH183 | Tylecodon paniculatus

Tylecodon paniculatus, commonly known as the Butter Tree, is a robust succulent shrub characterized by a thick, fleshy green trunk with attractive yellow peeling bark. This deciduous plant typically reaches heights of 5 to 6 feet, with some specimens growing up to 8 feet tall. Thriving in full sun and well-draining soil, it requires minimal watering, especially during its summer dormancy when it sheds leaves to conserve moisture. In late spring to early summer, the Butter Tree produces vibrant orange-red flowers that attract pollinators. Ideal for xeriscaping, this drought-tolerant plant is suitable for USDA Hardiness Zones 9b through 11.
