The big ones look like brushes to remove the dust :)
I am guessing that the trees in the pots are bonsai. They will never reach the size of their brothers and sisters.
I would prefer the little ones... does their sap help with burns? I still don't have aloe in our yard and I burnt myself yesterday evening, I applied honey instead... and it seems to be working but not as well as the aloe.
I wonder if the small ones, stay small, or if the outgrow the container? The large ones are neat.
I can't decide. I do like the small ones for an indoor plant though.
What bizarre-looking trees! I had no idea aloes could grow in tree form. Do you think the little ones and the big ones are the same species? I think I like the smaller ones in containers. We can see the branches more clearly.
The bigger ones look like heads of broccoli.:) I do like the smaller ones better.
I guess I'm odd - I prefer the big ones.
These are new to me.
Hard to choose Sharon they both look exotic in their own way, if I had to choose I'd probably pick the smaller type 🌵
