Olive

This average-sized leaf succulent grows up to 23 feet (7.0 meters) tall. The spear shaped stem is orange, and is covered in brittle white spines. The toothed-edged, finger-like leaves are olive and lime. Small bunches of them grow from the base in alternating pairs. The leaves are delicate, but take little effort to detach.

It is very slow growing, taking 34 years to reach maturity. Once mature, a single flower with petals that are violet on the edges and peach at the center grows at the top, reappearing once every 8 years. The flower head is shaped like a tube with 37 tightly layered, round-tipped petals. It has a faint scent that smells like roses.

The leaf succulent's skin is thin, the turquoise flesh is waxy, and the lime sap is thin.
