Succulentum Seeds.

This is a columnar cactus reaching 10-12’ tall though some individuals reach over 20’. The stems are relatively much thicker and substantial than most columnar cacti. The new grown may often exhibit a reddish or purplish tint, especially in winter—anthocyanin development which protects cells from freezing or decimation from drought. Eventually the tops of older stems will develop what is called a pseudocephalium—the spines become more dense and thick, and this is where the plants flowers will emerge from. Late spring to early summer through these pseudocephaliums flowers emerge which can be reddish, purple, or most commonly white. The flowers are followed by spherical, red fruits that contain red pulp.
