Peruvian Apple Cactus

Cereus repandus

• Branching, columnar cactus with a thatch of eye-catching, orange spines on each stem
• Monstrose form grows bumpy, knobby stems, unlike the straight, ribbed look of the standard form
• Showy blooms of red and white flowers appear on mature plants and develop into large fruits that resemble apples
• Naturally occurring across a wide range, though likely originally native to the western Caribbean and Venezuela

Hardy to 30°F (Zone 10)
