Acanthocereus tetragonus, commonly known as the triangle cactus, is a tall, columnar species characterized by its multi-branched, thicket-forming growth habit. Its dark green stems feature three to five sharp angles and produce large, fragrant white flowers that bloom at night. This fast-growing cactus thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, making it ideal for xeriscapes or living fences. It is drought-tolerant and produces sweet, edible red fruits that attract various wildlife.
