Gray Ghost Organ Pipe Cactus Seeds

This frost tender cactus is a popular potted plant indoors and out provided the potting soil is sufficiently porous and well drained.
This large columnar cactus is a valuable food source in Mexico where its fruit is harvested and sold in some rural markets. It is native to south central Mexico as far north as Puebla and south to Oaxaca, with plants are also found in the drier parts of Veracruz to the east. This is a tree like columnar cactus that may produce one or more trunks from which little-branching stems arise from the base for a distinctive V-shape. Each stem is gray green, the new growth often bearing a distinctive bloom. This led to its unusual common name, gray ghost organ pipe. Full sun. Heat tolerant. Little to moderate water. Hardy to 23°F. Fast growing to 20' tall. Origin: South-central Mexico.
