Cereus sp. sp. NORTH-EAST of ZACATECAS

The Cereus sp. represents a group of columnar cacti known for their upright, tall growth and striking, ribbed stems. These cacti typically have bluish-green to grayish-green stems adorned with clusters of sharp spines along well-defined ribs. Depending on the species, Cereus can reach heights of 10-30 feet and may develop branched, tree-like forms over time. Most species in this genus are known for their night-blooming flowers, which are large, white or pale pink, and intensely fragrant, attracting nocturnal pollinators. The flowers are followed by edible fruits, often red or yellow, containing a sweet, juicy pulp and small seeds.
