The tallest stem stands about \u003cstrong\u003e15 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e, the second about \u003cstrong\u003e11 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a third, younger stem of roughly 8 inches rises between them. Each is about 3 inches across with five to six sharp, waxy blue-green ribs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYoung Blue Candles wear long, dark, dagger-like spines that fade to short stubs as the plant matures, and these stems still have the full juvenile armor, with bright red new spines at each crown. In time the plant branches into the classic blue candelabra and produces tiny cream flowers followed by sweet garambullo berries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is a scarred, field-grown plant and it is priced as one.\u003c\/strong\u003e The oldest stem carries a large healed scar near the base and the stems show sun bronzing and yellowing. All of it is dry, calloused and cosmetic, and the plant is growing strongly, but if you want a flawless show plant this is not it.
