Upright, trunk-forming segmented cactus.
Very loosely adhered joints 2-4in long with plentiful sharp spines; gold or straw colored; from a distance the spines have the illusion of a soft or fuzzy appearance.
The range covers the Sonoran deserts at elevations up to 3000ft, on mesas and dry rocky slope.
Most attractive of the chollas.
The teddy-bear cholla is an erect plant, standing 1 to 5 ft (0.30 to 1.5 m) tall with a distinct trunk. The branches are at the top of the trunk and are nearly horizontal. Lower branches typically fall off, and the trunk darkens with age. The silvery-white spines, which are actually a form of leaf, almost completely obscure the stem with a fuzzy-looking, but impenetrable, defense. The spines are 1 in (2.5 cm) long and are covered with a detachable, paper-like sheath.
The Main Trunk Brewery bottle is potentially 100 years old.
The Brewery was founded by W. Joseph Kühtze, in Taihape in 1908; this later became the Cascade Brewery under the brewing direction of Kühtze's grandson, Joseph T. Coutts. W. Joseph Kühtze also founded the Waitemata Brewery in Otahuhu in 1929, later to become the flagship of Dominion Breweries under the brewing direction of another grandson, Morton W. Coutts. Both breweries were operated using Joseph Kühtze's original methods. Kühtze's name was later given by Dominion Breweries to a brand of lager. It will eventually displayed at Mainline Steam's new facilities to be built at Mercer.
