    Euphorbia cuneata grows into a tree or large shrub in its natural habitat (Arabian Peninsula / Sudan (Red Sea Hills) / Uganda / Kenya / Tanzania). In cultivation, the plant is usually kept trimmed, often under 12 inches. It forms a caudex, more or less above soil level, though the caudex is usually raised as it grows.
