Tri Pasacana
Trichocereus pasacana, commonly known as the Pasacana Cactus, is a towering, columnar cactus native to the high-altitude regions of the Andes in Argentina and Bolivia. This majestic cactus is closely related to the more widely known Trichocereus terscheckii. The stems are blue-green to gray-green, with deep vertical ribs lined with clusters of sharp, golden to brown spines. In its natural habitat, it often grows in large stands, contributing to the dramatic landscapes of the Andean highlands.
