This Peruvian Apple Cactus (Cereus repandus) originates in South America.
This spiny green cactus was propagated in Arizona and brought to Florida as a beloved family member. It is living beautifully in the subtropical Flatwoods of the northern Everglades. A slow colonizer, this immigrant is unlikely to invade native ecosystems here in Florida. It’s large showy flowers appear every summer to the delight of diurnal and nocturnal insects. Â Nectar-feeding bats are native pollinators not found in Florida.
Humans have been rearranging the plants and animals on Earth for millennia. Turns out we are pretty awesome at transforming landscapes as detailed in this recent publication by Dr. Nicole Boivin et al. (link below). ‘By the Late Pleistocene, humans had begun to engage in activities that have led to alterations in the distributions of a vast array of species across most, if not all, taxonomic groups.’

If we are to alter landscapes, let us do our work humbly and thoughtfully.

I really love and appreciate this article on the San Pedro Cactus. Do you have any idea of just how many clumps are growing in this area? I have been able to grow huge specimens of Peruvian Apple Cactus in Port Charlotte Florida and I occasionally get pollination by what I believe to be large Moths thus my huge plants produce large red fruit. Once this fruit matures and falls to the ground I have lots of germination of small cactus. I have been able to repot these seedlings and I’m currently trying to grow them to a larger size. I’m hoping that within 5 years I’ll have some new genetics of this species in the Port Charlotte area.
Thank you, Ricky, for your kind feedback. No idea how many San Pedro Cacti are growing in Florida. We love ours too, but we are not experts in how to grow them. Good luck with your cactus horticulture in Florida!
