Given favourable conditions, this cactus can develop into large, branched shrubs. At a height of 50 to 60 cm, the plant is usually cylindrical in shape with several ribs. The trunk ranges in colour from blue-green to grey-green. Small areoles with spines are scattered along the ribs, and older specimens may develop small flowers.
