Bruce's Dragon

Also written as Bruce' Dragon

Among the most wanted bridgesii clones in the hobby. The name is earned — melty, dragon-like growth that looks sculpted rather than grown.

Nothing off this one is listed at the moment. It's growing in the yard and gets cut when it's ready.

Tell me when it’s cut

When a cutting off Bruce's Dragon is listed, I’ll email you to say so (if you are not signed in, after you have opened the link I send first). I only have one of most things, so it is first come — nothing is held.

Email me when this is available. I understand this notice is about the plant I asked about, that I can opt out from any message, and that my address is not shared with anyone.

You'll get emails from the yard. Unsubscribe any time.

What it looks like

Growth habit
Melty, dragon-like growth that looks sculpted rather than grown. It is reportedly a monstrose form rather than a normal ribbed column.
