Distribution and habitat
Euphorbia dendroides has a wide distribution throughout the Mediterranean region, from Morocco and the Balearic Islands in the west to Syria, Jordan and Egypt in the east in Europe, southwest Asia, and North Africa.[3][1][4] This plant is sensitive to frost, so it only grows on protected and sunny mountainsides in hilly areas. It has been introduced to other countries out of its original range as an ornamental tree.
