Description
Dracaena Draco is by far the most popular landscaping feature plant for South coast and Sydney landscapes.
The upright and almost geometrical nature of the dragons blood tree attracts landscape architects and garden designers for its silver-blue foliage and smooth clean trunk.
Dragons Blood Trees get their name from the red coloured sap that was once exploited to almost extinction for its Medicinal and Cosmetic industry uses. The species has been successfully propagated in Australia from seed, but can take a long time (some 50-100 years) to grow a large specimen tree which often fetch a high price anywhere from $5000-$100,000
We at Bamboo South Coast often supply many different size trees from small to large, purchased at a medium size such as 1m tall are most affordable and will often grow 100mm per year in good conditions. Will achieve best blue colour and a perfect trunk if grown in full sun in very well drained soil. Light Frost will damage the dragon tree leaves but not kill the plant.
