description_en: Genus of possibly 9 species of columnar, often tree-like, ribbed, perennial cacti from semi-desert areas of the USA and Mexico. These often massive cacti branch from the bases of the main stems, and have large, spiny, usually scaly areoles, sometimes woolly or bristly in the axils. The nocturnal or diurnal, funnel- or bell-shaped, or short, tubular flowers are produced only on mature plants. The bristly, spherical, fleshy fruits contain large, black-coated seeds. Where temperatures drop below 10°C (50°F), grow in a temperate or warm greenhouse. In warmer climates, use in a desert garden.

propagation_en: Sow seed at 19-24°C (66-75°F) in spring. Take stem-tip cuttings in summer.
