Aloe 'Orange Marmalade'

Aloe ‘Orange Marmalade’ is a hybrid cultivar, meaning it was created by humans by crossing two or more different Aloe species. Therefore, it doesn’t have a single “native region” in the same way a naturally occurring species does.

However, we can infer some likely origins based on the *parentage* of the hybrid. The exact parentage of ‘Orange Marmalade’ is sometimes proprietary information and not always publicly known. However, it is often assumed to have **Aloe dorotheae** in its breeding.

* **Aloe dorotheae:** This species is native to **Tanzania**, particularly the central plateau region.

**In summary:** While Aloe ‘Orange Marmalade’ is a hybrid and thus doesn’t have a single native region, it’s highly likely that some of its genetic heritage comes from species native to **Tanzania, East Africa**, specifically *Aloe dorotheae*. Other species may be in its parentage as well, expanding the potential region of its ancestors.
