Description
Dracaena arborescens grows long stems over 60 centimetres (2.0 ft) tall, with thick, flat, succulent leaves. Its name refers to the tree-like height of the stems.[2]
It very closely resembles the related Dracaena bagamoyensis. However, the leaves of D. arborescens are wider (over 25 mm) and less brittle.[3][4]
