Octopus Cactus Seeds

Stenocereus alamosensis, commonly known as the Octopus Cactus or Cina, is a sprawling, shrub-like cactus native to northwestern Mexico, specifically in the states of Sonora and Sinaloa. It is recognized for its unique growing habit where stems first grow vertically and then arch or crawl along the ground, creating thick, impenetrable thickets.
The Octopus Cactus is frequently used as an ornamental or a natural barrier due to its dense, thorny growth. Features bluish-green, columnar stems that reach 2–4 meters (6.5–13 feet) in height. The stems have 5–8 ribs and are densely covered in sharp, whitish spines.
Hardiness: Suitable for USDA zones 9b to 11b; it can tolerate brief freezes down to approximately 25°F–28°F.
