Cylindropuntia imbricata v. viridiflorus (Santa Fe Cholla) Cactus Lover

The rare Santa Fe Cholla is only found in one small area north of Santa Fe, NM.  It is about a third the size of the tree cholla.  The stunning apricot-colored flowers have a green center.  If this was a rose, it would be considered a floribunda…tons of flowers in late June/July.  3 ft H x 5 ft W.  Zone 4.  This is not a “jumping” type of cholla.  It is very polite!  Even though rare it is very hardy and a great plant for even beginners.  Sold in a 2.5″ pot or as an unrooted cutting.
