Between my husband and I, we have had this cactus for 50 years. Healthy and hardy. The growth joint shows how much it has grown since 1984. 29 inches tall from soil level and 8 inches in diameter. Comes in large pot with drain tray. Pot is 14 inches tall and 14 inches in diameter. Total height of pot and plant is. 39 inches. This is a beauty. Smoke free home near Jubilee Hospital.
