• During the dry season, Alluaudia procera may lose its leaves, and the stems can take on a grayish-brown color, adding to its drought-tolerant adaptations.

Growth Habit:

• Habit: Upright and tree-like growth habit with a central trunk.

• Branching: Branches dichotomously, creating a unique and symmetrical appearance.

• Alluaudia procera is known for its unique growth habit, with stems that can reach heights of up to 30 feet (9 meters) in their native habitat.
