Red Spine Succulent

This average-sized caudiciform grows up to 47 feet (14.3 meters) tall. The fan-like stem is pink-red, and is covered in sharp spines. It has a straight, stocky, bronze trunk atop a stocky mess of knobbly, exposed roots. The branches are very thick and red and are short and slender.

The smooth-edged, fan-like leaves are cyan and grey. They are rigid, but do not detach easily.

It is steady-growing, taking 23 months to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with orange petals and a yellow center grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of up to 50 petals. It has a mildly strong scent that smells like candle wax.

The caudiciform's skin is thick, the bronze flesh is soft, and the bronze sap is thin.
