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

This colossal caudiciform grows up to 138 feet (42.1 meters) tall. The slender, pointed stem is brown, and is covered in sharp spines. The bulbous, olive trunk can grow to as much as 138 feet (42.1 meters) in diameter. Its orange-yellow branches are very short, thin and wispy.

The tattered-edged, V-shaped leaves are bright green and caramel. They are resistant, but easily come away when pulled.

It is very slow growing, taking 49 years to reach maturity. Once mature, a handful of flowers, with purple petals that gradient shift to cream on the outer edge. The central disk is red, grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 34 petals. It has the faintest scent that smells like cherry.

The caudiciform's skin is thin, the washed-out orange flesh is rough, and the muted red sap is thin.
