Young one.

First leafing out for me. I wondered for awhile if it was even alive. Yes!

[mcvansoest]

Nice!

It is funny, mine are all back to leaf-less now that it has gotten hot. We had our first full week of 100+ F here, topped out at 108F, going back down to high 90s, they say, on Monday, but then 114F later in the week - which is no fun no matter how you look at it, 108 I can sort of stand to be outside in and even work in as long as it is in the shade, 114 I just want to hide inside.

Most plants have developed the WTF look.

Mac,I saw last night it was 88f in Arizona,while here in Hayward at 9pm or so it was 56f! Its been a very under average June so far.

Spotted this today at a nursery. Apparently these are grown on a lot in Yuma somewhere:

It's gonna look great in your yard!

If I spent that much on a plant, I'd end up living in a hotel somewhere while the divorce was pending.

My babies. I hope my grandchildren will see them develop a trunk. I mean a stout, proper one.

Spotted at Desert Horizons Nursery and AZ Cactus Sales

[Carlos]

Absolutely awesome. How old can be those plants?

[Kat_W]

Good question Carlos. I don't know the answer, but from what I have read about them they are S L O W growers and with decent conditions they grow maybe 2" or so per year. Seems we are looking at very old plants! [quote=Carlos post_id=58039 time=1614420502 user_id=1790]

Great snaps of F. columnaris. Wow!

[Meangreen94z]

Apparently in the ground in a hot climate they can really pick up pace as they get bigger. Look at post #36 from Minime8484 on this link

Nice...thanks for sharing. Seems it made some serious headway.
So cool to see the snaps.
