Monstrose cactus with (mostly) spineless stems that branch profusely and may form a large mound over time. The stem tips, often somewhat involuted, may be pink, but the rest of the plant is light green. Spines may appear where reversions occur; these parts of the plant may not particularly resemble the usual bocasana.

There are apparently several nonidentical Freds with the same general phenotype of many spineless, light green stems. Some are larger than others and some are cresting or manifesting more wildly divergent monstrose growth.
