Copper Succulent

Succulent type: Stem succulent (Stores water in its stem)

This big cactus grows up to 79 feet (24.1 meters) tall. It splits randomly along the body to form 4 very narrow, elongated stems. Each stem is copper, and is covered in copious amounts of rigid copper spines.

It is very slow growing, taking 25 years to reach maturity. Once mature, a handful of flowers, with petals that are aquamarine on the edges and peach at the center, grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is shaped like a dish with 42 raised, narrow petals. It has a weak scent that smells like onion.

The cactus's skin is extremely thick, the peach flesh is waxy, and the bronze sap is thin.

It is almost impossible to grow from cuttings.
