Euphorbia dendroides, or Tree Spurge, is a unique and eye-catching perennial shrub native to the Mediterranean region. Growing up to 2 metres in height and spread, this sun-loving plant forms a dense, rounded shape with succulent-like branches that become woody with age. Its bright green foliage undergoes a dramatic seasonal shift, turning vibrant red before shedding in spring, a rare trait among Mediterranean species. In early spring, clusters of small, yellow-green flowers appear, providing an early source of interest before the plant enters summer dormancy. Adapted to dry, rocky, and coastal environments, Euphorbia dendroides thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping, Mediterranean-style gardens, and exposed coastal areas. However, care should be taken as its milky sap is toxic if ingested and can cause skin irritation. Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant, this striking species is ideal for gardeners seeking structural interest and seasonal colour changes in challenging growing conditions.
