Your sentence is mostly clear but can be improved a little for better grammar and clarity. Here is a corrected version:

"Madagascar has prickly forests made up of trees adapted to dry climates, like the octopus tree."

Explanation:
  • We say "made up of" instead of just "made of" to show what the forests consist of.
  • It's better to use "dry climates" (plural) because there can be more than one dry area.
  • Adding "the" before "octopus tree" makes it clearer that we are talking about a specific kind of tree.
This way, your sentence sounds natural and correct while explaining what makes Madagascar's forests special.
