Caramel Succulent

Succulent type: Leaf succulent (Stores water in its leaves)

This massive leaf succulent grows up to 115 feet (35.1 meters) tall. The slender, pointed stem is copper, and is covered in lots of fine, orange, hair-like spines. The jagged-edged, wide leaves are generally caramel. Small amounts of them grow from the base in random directions. The leaves are hardy, and take some effort to detach.

It is very slow growing, taking 13 years to reach maturity. Once mature, a single flower with each petal a slightly different shade of purple grows at the top, reappearing once every 6 years. The flower head is largely flat with dozens of widely spaced round-tipped petals. It has a weak scent that smells like fruity.

The leaf succulent's skin is very thick, the brown flesh is waxy, and the dark brown sap is thin.


It is suitable for creating strong, durable textiles
