Diffrences between Aloe Arborescens & Aloe barbadensis Miller (linné)
Aloe Arborescens and Aloe Barbadensis Miller (or linné) are probably the best-known species that are used for the manufacture of various products for internal and external use or for the manufacture of cosmetic products.
Not without reason, as both provide valuable substances for the human organism.
The most striking difference between the two plants is the size of the leaves.
The leaves of the Aloe Barbadensis Miller (or linné) grow up to 100 cm and the plant itself can reach a height of up to 2 meters when it blooms.
This is also one of the reasons why the Aloe Barbadensis Miller plant is cultivated and used far more often for industrial purposes.
The leaves of the Aloe Arborescens, on the other hand, reach a length of up to 40-50 cm.
The shape of the growth is also different between the two species, the Aloe Arborescens grows in such a way that a kind of trunk is formed, hence the name Arborescens, which means tree.
The Aloe Barbadensis Miller, on the other hand, is stemless.
Another distinguishing feature are the flowers of the two types of aloe.
Where the Arborescens flower only blooms in red, the Aloe Barbadensis Miller can also turn yellow.
The two plants also differ in terms of ingredients. The arborescens is smaller, but the active ingredients are much more concentrated.
