Hi,

Its unlikely that its a simple hybrid.
I consulted the owner of the company I work for, he has 37 years Aloe breeding experience with over 16 thousand combo's made....
Andy's best guess is ((Candelabrum x (Arborescens x something))
As soon as a hybrid has more than 2 parents things can become a bit tricky. The combo's we work with now in SA often have over 23 parents!

Speciosa hybrids especially in the F1 progeny have much longer more untidy leaves/appearance.
