So,it's not a cactus eh? I thought so coz it doesn't look like one.But maybe the reason why it is commonly coined as a cactus is that it has the same cacti qualities like surviving extreme heat and can thrive on dry lands.I thought when it losses its leaves,it means it's dead. Interesting to know that it's just its way of adapting to the environment so it can keep more moisture by getting rid of the leaves.Ang galing!
