African milk tree

Euphorbia Trigona

It is known for rapid and enthusiastic growth, and Euphorbia trigona can grow to heights of six to eight feet. The plant has thick, three-sided stalks with spines along its edges and cactus-like branches, or arms, that grow upright from the sides of the stalks. Small leaves cover the edges and ends of the actively growing stalks and arms. It is a lush green plant with lighter green striations through the stalks. Leaves are a sign of health, so a plant with many leaves is happy.
