Emerald

Succulent type: Caudiciform (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This small caudiciform grows up to 2 feet (61.0 cm) tall. The pleated stem is emerald, and is covered in thick bunches of fine, yellow, hair-like spines. It has a straight, thick, gnarled, drab orange trunk atop a very thick clump of knobbly, exposed roots. The branches are round and green and are very long and slender.

The irregular-edged, pleated leaves are found in dark green, red and aquamarine varieties. They are hardy, and detach easily.

It is steady-growing, taking 5 years to reach maturity. Once mature, a handful of flowers, with amber petals and a yellow center, grow at the top, reappearing every year. The flower head is an uncoordinated mess of 42 petals. It has the faintest scent that smells like burning wood.

The caudiciform's skin is thick, the caramel flesh is rough, and the orange sap is thin.


It is suitable for making strong rope
