@bright colours does this look like a dull version of a native gardenia to you? Any fruit @susannah ?

Not gardenia. It's a milky succulent type. Very thick waxy leaves. I always called it African milk tree. But it's not.

i also had this before. don't know the name but it really does have thick succulent leaves and milky sap. called it the "milk plant" 😂

I might have to take a cutting down to nursery because it's been driving me mad. @ayeshamiamia

@plantid

trying to search online. i might find its name. 😂

Swipe across to see other pic. It was about 40 years old and was cut down many years ago and that's the regrowth. The new pic I put in small cutting in 11 yrs ago and that's all it's grown without any tlc 👀 @ayeshamiamia have googled so many times

😂 a mysterious milky tree. will try to ask my mom as it was her who own the plant. i agree, it is a hardy plant. looks like the one they call "elephant ears" but different

@Sussanah i think i found it: Synadenium grantii 😁 or its synonym, Euphorbia umbellata. and it is like your name for it: African Milk Bush 😅

@jademonique @brightcolours this is regrowth. Trunk about a metre around. It was one story high.

@Sussanah wow yep those leaves look similar! Mine is maybe 30cm in a pot so I'm very excited to see it at full growth!

I've been browsing the net today with no luck. @brightcolours @jademonique I'll send a pic to my friend and see if she knows common name in Greek. No luck with Anna. She can't see pics well enough.

You're worth more money 🤗 @Sussanah
