    I have had these aloe plants for years. I started out with one and from that one I propagated a numerous amount that I have been giving away. I have been trying to figure out what kind of aloe they are. I had been giving them all away before they got over a foot so I'm not sure how big they get or what their flowers look like. The ones that I found with the closest resemblance are: Aloe nyeriensis, Aloe camperi, Aloe x spinosissima (Spider Aloe), and Aloe arborescens. I hope you can help me! Thanks!

    I have similar aloes. I believe that they are aloe x spinosissima.

    Your faith has led you astray. They don't look anything at all like Aloe x spinosissima. (A. x spinosissima has flattened glaucous leaves that are covered with prickles on the back.) They are some other Aloe hybrid. There are now hundreds of them in the trade.
