USDA zones9-11, hardy to about 30F
Mature sizeA large tree-like columnar cactus. In the ground it can reach about 15-25 ft tall with a short thick trunk (~15 in across) and many blue-green branches, spreading 10-20 ft wide. In a pot it stays a slow, upright single column of a few feet.
Time to matureSlow-growing; roughly 10 years to reach maturity. In-ground plants can add about 6-12 in per year but are generally considered slow.
Ships asRooted plant, bare root, no pot or soil
What to expect in the box

Your plant is hand-picked, wrapped in protective kraft paper, and shipped on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. It arrives bare root: a fully rooted plant shipped without a pot or soil, ready to plant right away.

Minor scars or pitting on the skin are normal for hardgrown cacti. Any discoloration near the base is from previous healthy growth in soil and is not a sign of damage.

Cacti can look slightly dull after a few days in a dark box. Color returns within a week or two of bright light. If your area drops below 40F, we recommend adding a heat pack to your order, as one is not automatically included.

Toothpick Cactus (Stetsonia coryne)
