Does anyone no whwere I can buy opuntia compressa on line? Also how will it hold up in the Phoenix heat?

Due to my experience in growing saguaros in harsh conditions, I beileve it's possible for them to thrive in some parts of the mojave.

Many times when columnar cacti are being transplanted their roots get damaged and cause it to go into shock which can cause the yellowing to occur. In the past I have treated several of my clients thurberis by applying a fish, sea kelp and alphalfa fertilizer around the base of the cactus once a mon...
