Product Description

Armatocereus procerus is a tall, tree-like columnar cactus native to the arid valleys of Ecuador and northern Peru. Known for its thick, segmented blue-green stems, this species can grow several meters high, with clearly defined joints and vertical ribs lined with stiff gray to brown spines. It produces large, tubular white nocturnal flowers, followed by spiny green fruits. Its imposing size, architectural form, and rugged spination make it a dramatic and commanding presence in xeric collections and arid landscapes.
