Cereus peruvianus 'Apple Cactus'

Cereus peruvianus ‘Apple Cactus’ is a tall, columnar cactus known for its upright, blue-green to gray-green stems, prominent ribs, and clusters of sharp spines. As it matures, it can develop a branching, tree-like form and may produce large, fragrant white flowers that open at night, followed by round, reddish fruits under suitable growing conditions. This drought-tolerant cactus thrives in full sun to bright light, well-draining cactus soil, and infrequent watering, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings. It is an excellent choice for desert landscapes, rock gardens, and outdoor container displays. Pet-friendly: It is generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs, but its sharp spines can cause physical injury if touched or chewed. USDA hardiness zones: 9–11, depending on local conditions. It is sensitive to frost and should be protected from freezing temperatures.
