The Echinopsis pasacana is a beautiful column cactus that can grow to a height of up to 10 meters in nature. This cactus takes many years to grow. In nature they can live up to 300 years. The Trichocereus pasacana occurs naturally in Argentina. Here it grows on hilly plains.

The Trichocereus pasacana produces thick, sturdy dark green trunks. These are covered with many thick brown spines. When this cactus grows larger it can branch out. New side shoots will then grow from the side of the cactus.

When the Trichocereus pasacana has reached a height of 1.5-2 meters it can start flowering. She does this with us in the summer. Her buds grow from the side of the cactus. The flowers can grow up to 14 cm in diameter and have a pink-white color. In nature, the flowers are pollinated by bees. If pollination is successful, the Trichocereus pasacana produces green edible fruits about 5 cm in size.
