Post your largest cactus!

Re: Post your largest cactus!
I,ll post tomorrow my current biggy. My largest was an Euphorbia ingens, now residing in a local hotel, as at nearly seven foot high was threatening to go through the roof. Picture shows top half taken in its current location.

My largest is a C strausii, probably about 10" hardly worth posting!

Don't want to be picky but a Euphorbia isn't a cactus....
Re: Post your largest cactus!

Re: Post your largest cactus!
It's my fault for not reading ops request correctly. What caught my eye was "show your plants". Missed the word cactus in title. Got to go to Specksavers lol.

Re: Post your largest cactus!
As promised, here is my "biggie" today. For contrast the self seeded interloper is four and a half inched diameter.
. For info,this plant desperately needs re potting. It's too heavy to lift. Will need help post Covid 19. Cheers-
