The Pilosocereus Gounellei is an impressive columnar cactus that occurs naturally in Brazil. Here it grows in dry areas. The color of the cactus is green with a light blue glow over it. The spines are quite impressive and strong and are yellow-brown in color. Between the spines, small white hairs grow from the areoles of this cactus. Most hairs can be found at the head of the cactus.

This Pilosocereus Gounellei column cactus has the potential to branch out a lot. This makes it grow into a tree-like shrub. It is a slow grower. With our climate it will grow between 3 and 10 cm per year on average. This means it will take a few years before you have a large plant. When the plants are older, they can produce flowers on warm summer days. This Pilosocereus Gounellei does not do this often, so if you have managed to get it to flower, this column cactus will be very happy with you. The flowers are white in color and grow on a green stem. The outer leaves of the flowers are folded. When the flower is fertilized, round green fruits with purple flesh appear. It is unknown whether the fruits of the Pilosocereus Gounellei are edible.
