Spiny Sky Succulent

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

This big caudiciform grows up to 94 feet (28.7 meters) tall. The wispy stem is yellow-green, and is covered in handfuls of flexible sky blue spines. It has a curved, wide, hazel trunk atop a round clump of smooth, exposed roots. The branches are stumpy and emerald and are very short and thin.

The irregular-edged, stiff, pointed leaves are generally turquoise. They are flexible, but easily come away when pulled.

It is quick growing, taking 3 months to reach maturity. Once mature, several flowers with caramel petals and a yellow center grow at the top, reappearing once every 10 years. The flower head is made up of 9 petals in raised layers. It has a weak scent that smells like rainy days.

The caudiciform's skin is thick, the silver flesh is sticky, and the caramel sap is thin.

It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
It is bio-luminescent.
The sap is edible and overwhelmingly sweet.
