Bolivian Torch Cactus 'Trichocereus bridgesii'

Welcome to the Bolivian torch cactus, or Achuma, also known as Trichocereus bridgesii- a stunning perennial, evergreen cactus that's bound to leave you in awe! In 1974, Friedrich and Rowley merged the genus Echinopsis, reclassified Trichocereus bridgesii to Echinopsis lageniformis. It also has its mutated and unusual variety Trichocereus bridgesii' montrose'.  This fast-growing columnar cactus has a light green exterior and is easy to care for. This perennial evergreen cactus is sure to impress and makes it perfect for even the busiest gardener. The spines are not just plain old boring brown but can range in coloration from honey-colored to brown, adding an extra pop of excitement!  This Bolivian torch grows tall like a tree and can reach heights up to 16 feet. If you're lucky enough, you may even glimpse its large white night-blooming flowers blooming in summer!   Don't get confused with Echinopsis bridgesii though; it's a totally different plant than our beloved Bolivian Torch Cactus
