Item: Adenium 'Crimson Tower'
(You will recive the plant in the main photo)
 
Parentage: Adenium ("obesum" x "arabicum") complex hybrid. ('Arabian Ruby' x (a second generation obesum-arabicum hybrid))
 
Creator: Dimmitt 2004
 
Plant form: Vigorous, erect, arborescent shrub with substantial caudex and swollen main stems. Can grow to 5 feet tall by 3 feet wide in 5 years. Evergreen or deciduous if dried out in winter; in either case it has a short winter resting period. Tetraploid.
 
Flower: Round, 85 mm diameter x 31 mm petal width. Petals deep red, with almost no fading toward throat. Throat light yellow with prominent nectar guides. Blooms profusely for 2 to 3 months in spring, rarely at other times. 
 
Notes: Left to grow naturally, this clone branches freely and becomes a tall, fairly narrow shrub. It can easily be pruned into a tree that can reach more than 6 feet tall in 10 years. Cuttings are as vigorous and caudiciform as the mother plant; no need to graft.
