Cacti: Silver Torch 'Cleistocactus strausii'

This large cactus sits by the main entrance to the greenhouse.

It was donated to Growing Matters mid 2006, having outgrown its home in a front porch.

I don't believe it!

The previous owner had it for 20 years.  It grows about 4 inches a year making its height well over 6 foot!

 Zone 3 - Cactus: Silver Torch 'Cleistocactus strausii'
   
Silver Torch 'Cleistocactus strausii' - It needs supporting wires to prevent it from falling.

Safety

It's so tall it needs supporting wires to prevent it from falling.  It's also held against a tall pole to keep it growing upright.
