Description
The Neocardenasia Herzogiana Cactus is a large columnar variety of cacti which branch into the shape of a candelabra. This perennial evergreen succulent can reach heights of 20 feet in it's native habitat. The stems are well defined, greyish green in color and have 6-7 ribs with cream coloured areoles housing 3-5 stout central spines. Also known as the Baseball Bat Cactus it has the longest spines known to exist among any cacti. Pinkish -white flowers between are funnel shaped and are followed by edible fruit. Perfect for Cacti enthusiasts.
I planted several of these cactus a year and half ago when they were only about maybe a foot and half tall. I couldn't believe how fast they grew and now one spire is over six feet tall and survived the hurricanes of last year. To my delight I noticed yesterday 3 very large buds on one of the shorter spires and this morning it was in full bloom and serving breakfast. And now for round 2 came a bakers dozen but which opened for display. Of course, like most good restaurants, word of mouth (in this case the whole bee populations) made their appearance to enjoy the extended menu!!!
