Description: Silver Cholla Cactus, Cylindropuntia Echinocarpa; this plant pack is a usps large box full, 12"x12"x6" of cacti cuttings. Each cutting can grow into a large cholla tree producing hundreds of cuttings a year. Native to the mojave desert and California. I grow them on my farm & when I see people tossing them out I also bring them to my farm to grow them. Don't have many, but I provide some cuttings every year. It has always been cared for and has never gotten treated with any chemicals or fertilizers other then organic mulch. Never used pesticides or insecticides on it. Also produces small prickly pears. The spines are also easier to peel off for when you want to cook them, since they are large and easy to see. These plants can also be used as landscaping plants as they are drought tolerant & care free species. They only need to be watered once a week for a year then once a month after that unless it rains, then you dont need to water. The plants also have large spines so they can be used as yard/farm/ranch border fencing that can keep out livestock predators, yard scoundrels, and humans. I have seen them grow to be 20' tall. This means humans and animals will be severely hurt trying to cross or jump it. They are a fence that never needs to be repaired and is natural, meaning unlike steel or wood, it is sucking out carbon dioxide and serving an infrastructure purpose at the same time. I will include cacti of various sizes to fill the package as full as possible. I ship them in large usps priority mail boxes. I will get the biggest pads possible at the time for you that fits in this package. Will be heavily watered before shipping. Carefully packaged & shipped to you without harming your leaf pads.
