This "mostrose" form of the Apple Cactus has a genetic mutation that results in a twisting, irregular texture and branching habit that gives it a fascinating sculptural quality sought after by collectors. Individual stems are gray-blue to gray-green and deeply ribbed. It is slower growing and somewhat more compact than the standard cactus. It blooms mainly in summer with large (6-7 inches in diameter), exotic, white to pinkish white flowers that open in the evening and remain open into the next day. They are pollinated by hummingbirds, bats or insects. The fruit which follows is delicious, similar to dragon fruit in structure and flavor and contains small edible seeds called pitaya. Fruits mature on the plant for a long time and are red to pinkish red when ripe.
