Aloe arborescens in bloom

Compared to Aloe vera, Aloe arborescens has thinner leaves, with a thicker external cuticle, containing more antrachinonic elements, which have strong anti-viral, antimicrobial and laxative effects. The ligneous trunk and the scarce amount of water in the leaf make this plant particularly resistant, even in case of less favorable weather conditions.
A lower quantity of gel means lower convenience for the producers, and this is the reason why Aloe arborescens‘ cultivation is still less common than Aloe Vera’s. The most recent international bibliography, however, proves that its phytotherapic properties are with no doubt superior, and that’s why we tend to prefer it for our products.
