    Do not delete !!

    As these are nice pix .

    Pic # 2 , in the foreground , kinda club / fist shaped .

    ALL of the cactus remaining are less than 50 % as high now as my a$$hat neighbors who refuse to park in front of their own house , make a point of breaking them off , kicking them and so on .

    I'd forgotten how nice it all looked the day you planted them .

    Thank you again Charles

    Nate,
    Keep the broken off section and let it scabb over the remaining portion may grow more back. The Broken one after it scabbs over plant it in a pot and it will re-root and take off to be later planted elsewhere.
    I may have :cool: some others the neighbors may like to throw themselves into. :D
    The fist one called a crest is in demand.

    Don't know much about cactus, But someone (you?) owns a very cool '69 stepside. Also, someone has invested alot of $$$ or sweat or both in a nice white wrought-iron fence. And thats in addition to your cool AD truck!!!

    Thanks, the Green step side belongs to Nate and the fence was/is his neighbor.

    Thanx Joe !

    Wouldst the entire parkway was chock full of those giants ~ so far I'm still waiting .

    In my experience , Cactus just sits there growing roots for the first few years , then it takes off and fills out like those you pictured .

    Some of the California Oak trees in my neighborhood have been suddenly dying of unknown causes , I hope the two there die soon as I'm not allowed to trim them and the leaves are terrible ~ they've damaged my roof and various old vehicles parked just inside the wall there , I can't wait until they get sick and die , then I'll plant more cactus .
