Description:
It is a perennial cactus, which is similar to a tree. It develops a round and slender trunk, that thins up very gradually, forming oval and flattened branches of a bright green color. Its blades (ears) have areoles with white hairs, from which red-brown spines emerge. Light yellow flowers bloom at the ends of the stems in spring-summer. It produces yellow-orange or purple pear-shaped fruits.

Plant care:
It likes an exposure to full sun in rather airy locations.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 3 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.
Water moderately and only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water it once a week in spring and summer, reduce it to once every two months in autumn and to suspend it completely in winter.
The best soil is a well-draining one, even better if further enriched with inert materials such as pumice, sand or lapilli.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
