Cactus Succulent
A slow-growing, upright cactus with columnar, branching, blue-green stems, ribbed and lined with areoles bearing tan-coloured spines and fine white hairs. Can reach up to 10m in its native range but much smaller in cultivation. In summer, funnel shaped white flowers, sometimes flushed with red at the tips, are produced at night, and are followed by fig-shaped fruits
