The Pilosocereus gounellei, commonly known as the Xique-Xique Cactus, is a tree-like, columnar cactus native to Brazil’s arid regions. It forms multiple upright, ribbed stems with bluish-green skin, dense clusters of spines, and patches of woolly areoles. In season, it produces nocturnal white flowers that give way to edible fruits, important to local wildlife and communities. Hardy and drought-tolerant, it thrives in full sun and well-draining soil.
