Namibian Grape (Cyphostemma juttae)

Endemic to arid Namibia, this remarkable pachycaul succulent develops a massive, bottle-shaped water-storing caudex covered in attractive, peeling papery bark. In the warm season, it produces large, succulent, wax-coated serrated leaves accompanied by striking clusters of grape-like red berries that are toxic if ingested. Deciduous in winter, it stands as an architectural, highly prized specimen among succulent collectors.
