Cereus peruvianus monstrose (Apple Cactus)

This “monstrose” form of the Apple Cactus has a genetic mutation that results in an irregular texture and branching habit that gives it a fascinating sculptural quality. Apple Cactus is a nocturnal bloomer, with large, fragrant white flowers opening at night. The flowers are pollinated mainly by moths and the red fruit that results are the source of the common name, “Apple Cactus’.
