Dracaena draco.

As my journey into horticulture continues, I will make no secret of the fact that I have been greatly aided by family & friends. Richie has a degree in biology, and told me about ARKive - an online resource dedicated to endangered flora & fauna. The first specimen I came across was the fantastic dragon tree.

Dracaena draco, "Dragon Tree".
(Subtropical evergreen tree.)

Planting: Spring
Flowering: Summer
Aspect: Full sun, sheltered.
Hardiness: Recommended indoors/greenhouse.


Notes: (Using ARKive~) The dragon tree is in decline, possibly due to the extinction of germinating birds or contact with rats & livestock which damage saplings.
