DILDO OR
ORGANPIPE CACTUS,
Family:
Cephalocereus nobilis
This cactus is large and grows to about
10 ft. high with many vertical limbs, branching from
near the base. The dried branches make fireworks for
children as they crackle and pop when burning. The
cactus flesh can be used as a vegetable and as a
shampoo. Birds often nest in the limbs, as there they
are safe from mongooses. They are often left standing in
land cleared for cultivation as they are difficult to
remove and sometimes they are used as vegetable
supports.
