We grow our organically in Arizona. Cereus repandus, the Peruvian apple cactus, is a large, erect, spiny columnar cactus found in South America. It is also known as giant club cactus, hedge cactus, cadushi, and kayush. Cereus repandus is grown mostly as an ornamental plant, but has some local culinary importance.
The fruit is edible.

Peruvian apple cactus plants are surprisingly somewhat cold hardy. Outdoors, it probably shouldn't be grown year-round outside of U.S. growing zones 9, 10, and 11. However, it is hardy down to 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

This plant is highly drought tolerant. It is accustomed to growing in an arid climbing where it can go extended periods of time without water. So it stores water away in its stems to use as reserves. Treat this plant like you would all other traditional succulents and cactus types: let the soil dry out completely before watering the plant again. You can even wait a bit after the soil dries out completely before watering it.
