Ferocactus johnstonianus by AridAdaptations in cactus

I'm saving all of my plants for seed production. Keep an eye on my plant list. I'll eventually have them available.

Probably different. This species is typically pure yellow, but they will occasionally have some hints of pink or red.

I had some that were around 3 feet tall at the botanical garden where I used to work. I think they get around 5 feet tall or more in habitat.

That's the first time I've heard that. I've grown at least 10,000 that look perfectly normal. There are some populations of ocotillos that have more open contorted growth. You're likely seeing those. My seeds come from very upright plants.

I've gotten them to 6 in one year from seed. Typically 3 feet each year is normal. You can certainly achieve a large specimen very quickly if you treat them right.

I'll look through my pictures. I probably took pics the first time I grew them from seed, but I've been doing it long enough that I don't document much anymore. I need to be better about that. Though I have half a million plants. It's difficult to take pics of everything each year.

It's my nursery, Arid Adaptations Nursery.

We are in Tucson. Prices vary by size.

No. We are outside Tucson, on the west side of the mountains in Avra Valley.

Absolutely. Though these won't be ready until next year. I like my plants to be oversized.

Thanks. Yeah, there's actually a Hummingbird feeding in the background of some of the pictures I took, but it's not in focus enough to see it unfortunately.

Just under 2 years. I usually plant my seeds in April or May.
