Pachycereus Pringlei ( Red Fruit)

Pachycereus pringlei, commonly known as the Mexican Giant Cardon, is the tallest cactus species in the world, reaching heights of up to 60 feet (18 meters). It thrives in hot, arid regions, with an optimal temperature range of 68°F to 100°F (20°C to 38°C), though it can endure extreme desert temperatures up to 113°F (45°C). Sensitive to frost, it cannot survive below 32°F (0°C). This cactus can be propagated from seeds or cuttings, preferring well-draining, sandy soil with minimal watering. Fruiting occurs after 10-30 years, following the bloom of large white flowers in spring, producing edible red fruit in early summer. Genetically, it belongs to the Cactaceae family and shares adaptive traits with other desert cacti, including water storage and ribbed structures to endure drought.
