Giant Spined Cactus

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

This colossal cactus grows up to 175 feet (53.3 meters) tall. The perforated stem is bold green and yellow, and is covered in many rigid light red spines. The round body is copper, and is covered in sharp spines.

It is fast growing, taking 7 months to reach maturity. Once mature, and only under the right conditions, a handful of flowers, with petals that are generally light brown; each flower tends to be a variation of this colour, grow at the top, reappearing after 6 years, but only when the conditions are right again. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 43 petals. It has no scent.

The cactus's skin is thick, the black flesh is sticky, and the green sap is thin.


It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
It comes in 32 varieties.
