ORGAN-PIPE CACTUS Organ-pipe Cactus Lemaireocereus thurberi is a large plant of the Sonoran Desert which covers part of southern Arizona and northern Mexico. It grows to about 6 metres high and the short stem branches close to the ground. The branches grow up straight without branching again so the plant looks a bit like a mass of organ pipes. Its greenish-white flowers open at night and they develop into sweet juicy fruits which the Mexicans call "pitahaya dulce". [CH] {CA}
