Cleistocactus strausii

how tall is this

nice

Looks very tall Hywel, you must have had it years, how do you overwinter it?, Derek.

It is 2.5 feet tall (that does not include the pot)
I have had it since about 1975 and I keep it in the conservatory during the winter :o)
When I bought it, it was about an inch tall :o)

wow nice!!

Wow! I don't want to sound offensive, Hywel, but it does remind me a bit of something from "Embarrassing Bodies"! Extraordinary.

My friends is like that. She has had hers a long time too n keeps hers in the greenhouse with other cacti. This one flowers every year. I love cacti but not very lucky with them x

looks amazing Hywel

10 years between the last two comments ! lol
Thanks Paul, and everyone else who seem to have abandoned GoY.

But I think you've seen this photo before Paul :)
