It's not an Aloe vera, the leaves have teeth, and I don't believe they will trunk, could possibly be A. arborescens it does trunk and has thorns like Rose bushes, on the leaves. That may even be a hybrid plant. Norma

Well,I was kidding about it being a true tree Aloe vera,but Norma-have you seen a trunking Aloe with the leaf shapes of the exclusively ground Aloes like this plant has? Vertical,spotted and all that? I looked through every entry in Daves Garden and every Aloe, Norma that trunked, had those typical ferox or of course barbarea long whippy leaves.Nothing like this one. I know when I plant it next week I also think I'm going to take off many of those suckers to thin out the look.

It doesn't look like my A. marlothii (sp.check) nor my A. ferox, I have them standing side by side. I'm not good with pictures. Both of these plants mentioned has a branched infl. does yours, this is very important for identification and spikes on the keel side of the leaves, again it could be a hybrid. I can't give you a name if I don't know what it is and I can't change the name for you. See if you can find Renyolds book on Aloe. I haven't seen every Aloe sp. that there is. Is the infl. branched?
Branched tree like aloe Aloe: barberae, dichotoma, pillansii, plicatilis, A. ramossima, which it is none of these

Single-stemmed Aloe: it could be one of these is it is a true species Aloe: africana, alooides, angelica, comosa, excelsa, ferox, lineata, littoralis, marlothii, pluridens, pretoriensis, rupestirs, speciosa, traskii, vryheidensis. I still have the feeling it might be A. arborescens, but feelings don't count on scientic matters. it does have some harmless teeth on the leaves that really are not lethal. These are the few in So Afica that may apply. There are Aloe in other countries in Africa as well, So. West Africa and Madagascar just to mention a few. Did you ask Palm Bob in the other forum. He is really the one that can help you. I'm not proofing this, ask Jeff to do that, I need some sleep. Norma
