Description

Cereus bicolor is a species of cactus native to west central Brazil; the plant grows in the seasonally dry tropical areas.[2] This shrubby cactus can grow up to 3 meters tall with bluish-green stems. These stems grow up to 1 meter tall, and 15 cm inches in diameter. Like all cacti, Cereus bicolor has areoles. The areoles bear 3-5 central spines and 6-8 radial spines. Sweet-scented white nocturnal flowers emerge from the areoles. The flowers grow up to 17 cm. Reddish fruits are spherical to egg-shaped, revealing their edible flesh. [3]
