Cyphostemma uter is a deciduous caudiciform succulent that grows from a very stout trunk, repeatedly branching from the apex and forming a low much-branched tree.

Leaves are fleshy, hairy, green, and crowded at the end of branches.
Cyphostemma uter, also known as Maiden’s Quiver Tree, is a species of flowering plant in the grape family, Vitaceae. This succulent plant is native to Namibia and South Africa, where it thrives in dry, arid climates. The plant is characterized by its thick, bottle-like trunk which stores water, and its deciduous, fleshy leaves that fall off during the dry season to conserve water. The plant produces clusters of small, greenish-yellow flowers in the summer, followed by distinctive, bright red berries. Cyphostemma uter is often cultivated for its unique aesthetic and its ability to withstand drought conditions, making it a popular choice for xeriscaping and succulent gardens.
