Dracaena draco (L.) L. - the dragon tree or dragon’s blood tree (Dracaena draco) is a dramatic plant with a bold, eye-catching architectural form. As a young plant, dragon tree looks not unlike other Dracaena species with its woody, palm-like trunk. Its leaves are spiky, like those of a yucca. As it ages, its trunk thickens, as do the branches that develop at its top. Each of these branches will then develop its own head of blue-green leaves.
The name dracaena is derived from the romanized form of the Ancient Greek δράκαινα – drakaina, "female dragon".
