    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Our collection of this black-spined cactus, found in the high mountains east of Santiago, Chile at the base of a ski resort. Reaching to 8-10' tall in their native habitat, these are handsome at any size with their cluster of black spines on top. Sun, of course. Occasional summer water speeds growth. Tolerant of winter wet if the soil is very well-drained. Provide protection where temperatures drop below 15 °F, mid USDA zone 8, or so.
