Peruvian Apple Cactus

🌵 Peruvian Apple Cactus (Cereus peruvianus) – A Tall Beauty for Your Garden or Home

Add towering elegance to your garden with the Peruvian Apple Cactus, an impressive columnar cactus native to the arid regions of South America. With its dramatic height, branching arms, and stunning blooms, this cactus is a standout in any landscape or container garden.

🌟 Key Features:

🌱 Sculptural Growth Habit: The Peruvian Apple Cactus grows tall with multiple branching arms that form a candelabra-like structure, creating an impressive visual display. Its unique, architectural form adds interest and height to any garden or space.

📏 Impressive Height: This cactus can reach impressive heights, making it an eye-catching feature in larger garden settings or containers.

❄️ Temperature Tolerance: Unlike many cacti, the Peruvian Apple Cactus is more tolerant of cooler temperatures, withstanding mild frost for short periods. However, to ensure its health, it should be protected from freezing temperatures.

🌿 Ideal for:

🌾 Landscaping: Perfect for low-water gardens and xeriscaping, this cactus thrives in mild to warm climates and adds a dramatic, sculptural element to your landscape.

🪴 Container Gardening: Its size and structure make it a great option for container gardening. You can move it indoors during colder weather or keep it as a low maintenance houseplant year-round.

💧 Xeriscaping & Water-Wise Gardens: Thriving in dry, arid conditions, the Peruvian Apple Cactus is an excellent choice for xeriscaping and eco-friendly gardens that require minimal water.

🎯 Focal Point: This cactus works beautifully as a focal point in your garden or as a striking indoor feature in bright rooms or sunrooms, where its dramatic form will catch the eye.

🌸 Flowering & Fruit:

🌼 Night-Blooming Flowers: The Peruvian Apple Cactus produces large, showy white flowers that bloom at night, filling your garden with beauty and fragrance. Flowers usually stay open through the early morning hours.

🍎 Edible Fruit: After flowering, the cactus produces Peruvian Apples, also known as Dragon Fruit. These fruits are sweet, juicy, and typically have a red or pink skin, adding an edible treat to your landscape.

🚚 Shipping & Planting:

We take care to ensure your Peruvian Apple Cactus arrives in pristine condition, carefully selected, wrapped and packaged for safe transport and easy and stress-free planting. The Cactus Outlet includes planting, watering, and care instructions with every order.

Super impressed

My wife loves cactus and succulents. So I wanted to get her something I knew she would love. She recently lost this same cactus she had for four years, due to frost. I ordered two cactus and some of the soil. As soon as she saw it she was stoked. The cactus were awesome and already started to root. Super healthy, and I could not be happier with my purchase. You can tell these people love their job and making people happy. I’m sure we will be ordering more from Cactus Outlet.

Very nice peruvian apple cactus, but....

I was very excited to receive my apple cactus. The transaction and shipping was awesome. However, I'm giving 4 stars. I discovered during unpacking that my cactus was punctured in 2 places. This is not a good look when planted in a professional or high end seting. Fortunately, its healing over, but it makes the plant unattractive.
