The pachypodium cactipes is a succulent tree native to the Madagascar rainforest. They are slow growing but can reach impressive heights of 30 feet (9 m). Looking at them you would never believe they were in the same family as prickly pear and yucca plants. They are covered in sharp spines along their leaves and trunk. They tend to have a life span of about a decade, but some reports state that they live up to 50 years old.

They make great houseplants because they thrive on neglect, and their hardiness makes them a likely candidate for cold hardy areas. They like bright indirect light and warm temperatures of about 70 degrees F (21 degrees C), so you should give it plenty of light and water during spring/summer and then allow its soil to almost dry out before watering again in late fall/winter months.
