The Cylindropuntia leptocaulis, or Christmas cholla or tasajillo, is starting to grow! I did nothing but throw the cuttings (well, “tearings”) into a couple other pots on May 1. They were rough and tiny bits, but off one goes! There is nothing quite as exciting as the growth of chollas. To give you an idea of size, I included a shot from a little more distance with some of my other “regularly photographed” specimens.
