Grey Spike Cactus
Succulent type: Stem succulent (Stores water in its stem)This enormous cactus grows up to 123 feet (37.5 meters) tall. It splits randomly along the body to form 6 perforated stems. Each stem is dark grey, and is covered in large amounts of flexible light green spines. The cuboid body is green, and is covered in handfuls of rigid subtle orange spines.
It is steady-growing, taking 15 months to reach maturity. Once mature, a handful of flowers, with bronze petals and a yellow center, grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is made up of 11 petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight tube. It has a strong scent that smells like meat.
The cactus's skin is thin, the copper flesh is soft, and the turquoise sap is thin.
It is almost impossible to grow from cuttings.
It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
