Description
Climbing-aloes comprises seven species found in Southern Africa. The genus is centered in the Eastern Cape, South Africa where they are also particularly common. They are typically multi-branched climbing or sprawling shrubs, with long spindly stems and a large woody base on the ground. These characteristics, as well as their soft, narrow, triangular leaves whose lower part ensheathes the stem, make them easy to distinguish. 
Species of Climbing-aloes
Fence aloe
Fence aloe is a drought-resistant plant commonly used as a hedge or fence. This succulent can grow up to 3 m tall and produces yellow to orange flowers in winter, attracting bees and birds. The plant is native to South Africa and gets its name from its ability to climb and cling to fences and walls with its long, slender stems.
Common climbing-aloe
Common climbing-aloe (Aloiampelos ciliaris) is a unique member of the aloe family that rambles wild along the ground in its native land of South Africa. It is also commonly cultivated worldwide. Fine teeth along the leaves make it distinguishable from the standard, non-climbing aloe. Hummingbirds enjoy the nectar of its tubular red flowers.
