Mexican Fence Post
$35.00 – $100.00
The Mexican Fence Post is a tall, 20 feet cactus native to Mexico, known for its slow-growing vertical stems that can eventually form large clusters resembling a “fence.” It produces creamy-white, funnel-shaped flowers that bloom at night, followed by small, red, edible fruits. Extremely drought-tolerant, this cactus is valued for its slender stature and architectural appeal in desert landscapes.
