Blueberry Succulent

Succulent type: Caudiciform (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This short caudiciform grows up to 9 feet (2.7 meters) tall. The very narrow, elongated stem is brown, and is covered in sharp spines. The stumpy, brown trunk can grow to as much as 9 feet (2.7 meters) in diameter. Its yellow branches are short and thin.

The ripped-edged, very thick leaves are slate and sky blue. They are resistant, but detach easily.

It is quick growing, taking 11 months to reach maturity. Once mature, a handful of flowers, with solid copper petals decorated with white lines and a pink central disk, grow at the top, reappearing once every 9 years. The flower head is shaped like a cube made up of handfuls of tightly layered, round-tipped petals. It has the faintest scent that smells like warm cookies.

The caudiciform's skin is tough, the purple flesh is waxy, and the azure sap is thin.


It is suitable for making baskets and the like
