ID this plant please
Re: ID this plant please
Do you have a closeup? It looks like some Cholla or maybe a Euphorbia, but hard to be sure with that image. If you have a higher resolution version of it that would help too.
I'm now selling plants on Ebay. Check it out! Kyle's Plants

Re: ID this plant please
LOL It does look like a cholla, except I can't see any spines! A better pic would help.

I'd guess Euphorbia from the branching pattern, but I can't tell from the small picture. Wouldn't be able to give you a species name even with a big picture

It's a spineless Cylindropuntia ramosissima
They are a common form in Joshua Tree
I have some cuttings of small crests at home that formed on one plant I found in the wild.
They seem to grow intermixed with the spined forms. Not sure why some have spines and others don't.
I'm working on a slide show of the Succulents of Joshua Tree, I have some photos of the plant somewhere

Re: ID this plant please
Thank you so much for your help, I looked up Cylindropuntia ramosissima and it looks to be this plant, also known as "Diamond Cholla".
