This article is on the plant from Socotra - Dracaena cinnabari

D. draco is from the Canaries.

Very interesting and worrisome too. Thanks Thanks.

io,

Thank you for the correction. Did you like the article too?

I did! Thanks for posting

Yes, I liked it; I knew about the decline but thought it was all due to goats and human activity.

Good read!

Goats will eat almost anything, including tree bark.

I can see where widespread goat pasturing alone could cause serious decline in dragon blood species.

What an interesting article Mr Cactus! Well well hello Jeff 😊Ive not been on the forums for ages. Im glad to see the Adenium one still exists, albeit it a bit slower than when I started it off though! Ive still got 6 adeniums growing strongly here in the UK, 3 of which, the obesums, flower regularly, the Arabicums never have though. Oh well. My own Dragon Trees that I grew from seeds lasted around 4-5 yrs and then all suddenly declined, such a shame that those in Yemen are facing such strugges both natural and manmade hopefully a solution can be found for the latter. Best wishes, Gill

Gill, long time no see. Yes, the news reported a prisoner exchange between Yemen and Saudi Arabia this morning, so that's positive news. It's good to hear from you again.

Yes, its certainly been a while! All good here, hope the same for you 😊
