Caramelucculent

Succulent type: Caudiciform (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This short caudiciform grows up to 10 feet (3.0 meters) tall. The asymmetrical stem is orange-yellow and caramel, and is covered in sharp spines. The thick, gnarled, florescent red trunk can grow to as much as 10 feet (3.0 meters) in diameter. Its lime green branches are very short and slender.

The smooth-edged, 5 pointed leaves are hazel and gold. They are resistant, but detach easily.

It is quick growing, taking 3 months to reach maturity. Once mature, a handful of flowers, with solid azure petals and a hazel central disk, grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is shaped like a dish made up of 18 widely spaced, round-tipped petals. It has a powerful scent that smells like perfume.

The caudiciform's skin is thin, the caramel flesh is waxy, and the orange sap is thin and can kill if consumed.


It is difficult to cut through.
It is suitable for making baskets and the like
