Copper Spine Cactus

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

This big cactus grows up to 91 feet (27.7 meters) tall. It splits near the top to form 3 pleated stems. Each stem is copper, and is covered in handfuls of flexible intense red spines. The cuboid body is emerald, and is covered in thick sheets of rigid copper spines.

It is very fast growing, taking 8 months to reach maturity. Once mature, a handful of flowers, with petals that are hazel on the underside and amber on the top, grow at the top, reappearing once every 4 years. The flower head is largely flat with 12 tightly layered narrow petals. It has the faintest scent that smells like rotten eggs.

The cactus's skin is thin, the caramel flesh is smooth, and the peach sap is thin.
