Browningia amstutziae is a tree-like columnar cactus from Peru that can reach about 5 meters, with a loose branched crown and brown, bristly spines. It is a cactus from cloud and fog forests, so it needs good light and well-drained soil rather than the arid conditions most cacti prefer.
Browningia amstutziae is a species of Browningia found in Peru.
Browningia amstutziae is common in the Peruvian regions of Pasco and Junín in moist cloud and fog forests on steep cliffs at low altitudes.
