''Aloe excelsa'' (also known as the Zimbabwe Aloe) is an arborescent aloe indigenous to southern Africa. ==Description==
The Zimbabwe Aloe is a tall aloe, that reaches tree dimensions of 5–6 metres, although 3 metres is a common height. It is single-stemmed and all but the lowest part of the trunk is swathed in the remains of dead leaves. The leaves form a compact rosette at the top, spreading becoming recurved and up to 1 metre long. They are dark green in summer and succulent, up to 3 cm thick at the centre. Similar to some other aloe species, young plants have a great deal of spines over their leaf surfaces. However as they taller and less vulnerable to grazing, these brown-red teeth disappear and remain only on the leaf margins.〔Flora Zambesiaca, www.kew.org accessed 13/4/09〕 This species is frequently confused with the related ''Aloe ferox'' and ''Aloe africana'' species, to the south, and they do look very similar when fully grown. However the flowers are different, with the racemes of ''Aloe excelsa'' being far shorter and slightly curved.
