Austrocylindropuntia vestita, commonly known as the Furry Cactus, is a smaller cactus grown for its interesting form. It produces towers made up of fleshy stems covered in white fur. The stems will often twist in different directions, and it typically grows to 60 cm tall and 20 cm wide. Austrocylindropuntia vestita is commonly grown as an indoor plant or added to rock and Mediterranean gardens. A mass planting in a border can also look very effective with this unusual plant.
