Aloe Trunk

I love the trunk on this Aloe pillanties (sp?). I have grown this Aloe from one small branch. Love it now and look forward to seeing it grow over the next ten years. Kids are a danger to the well being of this plant. I know kids are a risk, so if damage occurs I should quietly weep rather than grind the kid in to breakfast cereal topping (sorry in-joke I have with Reed)
