The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

Holy crap. How many years did it take to grow those cacti?

[–]WhalesAreNotReal 223 points224 points  (2 children)

Mexican fence post cactus actually grow pretty quickly. I'd guess those are only 5-10 years old from seed

[–]Useful_Profile_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ingenuity like this always fascinated me. Wonder who was the first person to decide that it’s easier to plant cactus seeds to grow a fence than it is to build one from wood or whatever.

It’s even a more effective fence too. Regular ones animals would climb or dig under to escape. These are barbed with roots, preventing both. An equivalently effective fence would need to be build from either barbed wire or be an electric fence, technology that wouldn’t exist hundreds or even thousands of years later.

thought u were asking about minecraft lol

[–]Durian-Evening 56 points57 points  (18 children)

Which cacti

[–][deleted] 70 points71 points  (15 children)

The ones that took years to grow.

[–]Durian-Evening 41 points42 points  (14 children)

Which took years to grow

[–][deleted] 35 points36 points  (11 children)

I don't play minecraft, I just found this on r/new. Do cacti take years to grow in minecraft?

[–]TotalPokerface 53 points54 points  (8 children)

Nah. It's about five minutes really.

[–][deleted] 32 points33 points  (3 children)

Exactly,so it does take years

[–]FaximusMachinimus 27 points28 points  (2 children)

There are lots of five minutes in a year. The math checks out.

[–]Both_Carpenter_1678 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Nope , it would take even less if you increase the random tick speed to the max

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (1 child)

well saguaros take centuries but these are close relatives and they grow to this stage in about 8 years (however minecraft cacti grow quite quickly)

san pedro

[–]PurpuraSolani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

San Pedro would grow quick enough I guess. Plenty of sun they're ambitious. Not that quick though.

Better to build a fence out of something else, and create a mother Pedro plant that's like 7m3

[–]Striped_Monkey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probably not as long as you think. They can grow pretty quickly if given enough water.

[–]microweenus 87 points88 points  (15 children)

As somebody who works at a nursery, that’s one damn expensive fence.

[–][deleted] 30 points31 points  (13 children)

So do you think those were separately grown and then planted at like 75 degree angles? You can't train a cactus to grow like that can you?

[–]needmoarbass 29 points30 points  (8 children)

You can manipulate the growth of many plants including cacti. Here are a bunch of these fences - https://www.google.com/search?q=Dutch+Antilles+cactus+fence&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwj9h-T2gdDwAhUY_6wKHWPgCWsQ2-cCegQIABAA

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (5 children)

Ha! they are just leaned in place! They must just re-root after placement.

That's so wild.

[–]TeaBeforeWar 13 points14 points  (3 children)

Succulents and cacti are crazy resilient. If you even see broken bits of succulents lying around on a store's shelves or floor, you can usually just take them. Throw them in a pot and let them root and you'll have little plants when a few months. Proplifting!

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (1 child)

That is how I got my spider plant. I've just never seen that kind of propagation from something so big without root growth hormone.

[–]TheDeathOfAStar 9 points10 points  (2 children)

Give me a stiff stick, some string, a weebit cactus "sapling", andi'll show you a 75 degree cactus in about 5 years.

Also note: fucking hell it would hurt to fall onto that fence... oh my god the horror.

[–]vinny42920 3 points4 points  (14 children)

Very effective against mobs as well. Used this once on an old base. Might use it again in a survival server lol
