ID. Peres but not really?
    #19304760 - 12/20/13 07:38 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

I stumbled upon this at a flower store:


Quality is a bit shit, but basically it kind of looks like a peres except thicker and the leaves aren't as flat. I was wondering if it was some other type of peres or a totally different species and if it's any good for grafting.

Yeah that is a good choice for grafting.  It's very compatible if you graft another opuntia species to it as well.

I have a friend who has a GIANT one of those in her yard. She's been talking about getting rid of it. Does it do anything useful so I can make a case for it? Edible fruit, etc?

They have nasty spines with tiny barbs like the cholla or whatever its called. The large form does make a very cool garden plant as it grows into a large shrub or small tree and they are just about unkillable. :smile: If you want to grow it just take a big cutting as they root and grow really fast

They are common sights on roadsides here in Portugal. The nastiest puncture wound I got in all my years of cacti growing was when I tried to uproot one of those to move it to another place. They grow 4"+ spines lower on their stems and the glochids are equally fearsome. Approach with extreme caution and decent body armour.

Agreed LSoares they are nasty things.
I made the mistake of trying to remove a large plant as well.:uhoh: After removing spines from my clothing and body I resorted to taking a branch. The spines are big and nasty my dog wont go near it any more as we have had to remove spines from her a number of times. If you have ever had to pull spines out of a dog you will know its not an easy thing to do but then add to to the problem by trying to remove them from a Staffy that hates you while you are trying to help her. :crazy:

hello, i tried using this as stock for a few small cacti and found it was not worth the effort

i had thought because it is such an agressive growing cactus that subulata might be a good stock, but actually what happens is that stock continues to divert resources to areoles make new pups and so it does not give scion good growing stock

I have tried it as a stock a couple of times without much joy. I had a couple of scions take and start growing and then they just died never had it happen with any other stock. The vascular ring is really close to the edge as well which makes things interesting.

Cheers

I admit I've only used it around 5-6 times as graft stock, since that's all of it that I could find at the local garden centers.  But every graft I've done on them has worked out quite well.  I'm guessing I didn't use a big enough sample size to run into the problems with these guys. :tongue:
