Myrtillocactus crests

Mrytillocactus geometrizans is a cacti native to Mexico. Specifically Baja California. The clone that we grow is blue green to slightly yellowish green in color. The plant branches when small and makes a very nice addition to any cactus garden. When mature the plant will grow to fifteen feet high and if left untrimmed almost that wide. The plant is easily shaped by trimming off the unwanted arms. Flower petals  are white with purple sepals. Fruit is bluish to purple and tastes simular to blue berries.
