Plant Information

Cactaceae

In the garden:

This makes an attractive accent plant in a desert garden.

In the wild:

This is one of many cholla cacti also known as 'jumping cactus.' Notorious for very loose joint attachment, the joints attach to hapless by-passers with the slightest brush. One of them attached itself tenaciously to my boot when I made a roadside photography stop on the way down the mountain in Anza Borrego!

Ethnobotany:

No information found.
