A candelabra-branched tree Euphorbia; the records used here are all from the hot, dry coastal belt of western Angola around Luanda. Grow it as a large, sun-loving columnar succulent: full sun, warmth all year and a dry, slightly cooler winter.

Where it grows wild

Records cluster in the coastal lowlands of Angola, a semi-arid zone of dry thicket and savanna where tree euphorbias stand in the open.

Few records carry an elevation; the climate sites lie between sea level and about 370 m.
