The humps are slightly recessed at the areoles. The spines are yellowish to golden brown on new growth changing to yellowish-gray in color on older growth. One to three stiff central spines averaging 3-1/4" inches long, four to six radial spines on average. Branching tends to emerge higher up on the main stem/trunk but can also occasionally emerge near the base.

Azureocereus hertlingianus makes for an impressive blue colored columnar cactus in the landscape.
