“Succulent” facts
In nature, Pachycereus pringley is one of the tallest cacti in the world. Its name comes from this characteristic: Pachycereus derives from the Greek “pachys”, meaning large.
Due to its size, it is also known as "elephant cactus", also because the shape of the lower part of the stem resembles an elephant foot.
The “pringley” species, on the other hand, was named after Ciro Guernsey Pringle, an American botanist and collector.
Some Native American populations ground the seeds of this cactus to form a kind of flour, while the pulp was used as a disinfectant and medicine in general. The dried stems also found their use, as poles, fences and house walls.
