C. forbesii is a columnar, branching, colony-forming cactus which can grow up to 3 m (9 ft 10 in) in height, with a mature circumference of around 15 cm (5.9 in); however, due to weather, natural breakage, self-propagation and other growth-limiting factors, it is more frequently observed at a height of about 2 m (6 ft 7 in).
The elongated, slightly brittle branches are up to 50 centimetres (20 in) long. The stems are marked by rhomboid to ovate bumps in a few spiral rows. At the tip of each bump is the areole, from which grow one to four straight, grayish-white spines up to 8 centimetres (3 in) long. The awl-like rudimentary leaves are up to 12 centimetres (5 in) long.
