Dracaena Ombet (Dragon Blood Tree of Nubia)
The Dracaena Ombet (Dragon Blood Tree of Nubia) species is currently known from the outcrops of Jebel Elba in Egypt to Djibouti (e.g., in the south of Ghoubbet and Hemed) with a few impoverished populations in Erkowit, above Suwakin and Port Sudan. The tree is locally known by the name “Ombet” (mother of the Earth) or “asa-ara” or “arob.” Furthermore, the species is found in Eritrea and Ethiopia, with populations consistently following the mountains and slopes of the Red Sea.
Threatened with extinction
Unfortunately, the Dragon Blood Tree is threatened with extinction. Most are no longer available. However, the Dracaena Draco is still available. Due to my passion for the Dragon Blood Tree, I have started to cultivate them myself, thus contributing to their protection. Are you looking for a special, magical, and unique tree/plant (a piece of art) for your living room? Then you can easily order one from me via the shop.
