Cholla/prickly pear cuttings

Post by Mark »

Hello!

I have a couple of plants that are getting too big so I want to cut them down a little. They are mostly prickly pear and cholla plants.. LOL

The plants that I need to trim are:
C.imbircata
C. kleiniae
O.compressa
C.fulgida var. mamillata,


I also have some rooted cuttings available. I'm looking to trade them any other plants you may have. I can also post pictures.

PM me if interested, lets see what we can work out.

US only please.


Mark :)

Klein's Pencil Cactus (Cylindropuntia kleiniae) naturalizes, it is insect and disease resistant, grows fast, propagates from seeds, stems, and fruits. It is hardy for heat and cold but it does not tolerate wet feet. Below is a photo of a naturalized plant about two weeks old. This green fruit fell in a gravel area and it put down a root then a stem. The mother plant currently has over 500 fruits. Free fruits. censussearcher@gmail.com
