Crimson Succulent

Succulent type: Stem succulent (Stores water in its stem)

This enormous cactus grows up to 122 feet (37.2 meters) tall. It splits at the base to form 4 wide stems. Each stem is dark grey and caramel, and is covered in copious amounts of rigid crimson spines.

It is very fast growing, taking 2 months to reach maturity. Once mature, a single flower with petals that are pink on the underside and crimson on the top grows at the top, reappearing once every 7 years. The flower head is made up of 45 petals; the lower layer of petals are flat, while the upper layers form a tight tube. It has a delicate scent that smells like blood.

The cactus's skin is thin, the caramel flesh is rough, and the green sap is thin.

Several parts of the fruit tree have medicinal properties.
It is suitable for creating strong, durable textiles
