Wow! The growth habit goes from 6' + on the label to "Slowly upright and branched to 20 feet (specific variants can grow to 50 feet)" on that webpage!

It lists as a common name "night blooming cereus". I've known about 4 different people totally unconnected from each over a span of many years that grew a plant they called "night blooming cereus" and this is definitely not the same as those plants. LOL.

What a mess. I'd buy the common name hedge cactus because it's pretty descriptive of what this looks like. I've never heard of 'hedge cactus' though. Maybe some of the folks on the cactus and succulents can help? @adamgreen @tarev @esperanza Someone just had a plant that was grafted onto a different rootstock that reminded me of this one (in my mind, at least). I can't remember where that was posted. It may not be remotely similar when I see the photo again.
