Known as the Mexican Giant Cardon, Pachycereus pringlei is the tallest cactus species in the world, native to northwestern Mexico. It forms towering, columnar trunks with pronounced ribs and clusters of stout branches, often resembling a massive, multi-armed saguaro. Its blue-green skin and pale spines give it a striking presence, and mature specimens can produce creamy white, night-blooming flowers. A true icon of arid landscapes and a must-have for serious cactus collectors with space to grow.
