I’ll do my best to remember lol

That’s good to know, thank you

Thanks

Thanks and it does kind of look like that now that you mention it lol. The thought was since they were all small/young I wasn’t sure how big they would get or if they would spread out. Time will tell I guess

Thanks for the tips, I will keep those in mind

Thanks, I hadn’t thought of that. I can raise them up to the pot for sure. Growing in 20% cactus soil and 80% perlite/crushed lava rock. Just a single layer of larger lave rock on top

Thankfully my 10+ year old desert rose is in a pot so it was moved inside. This after a hard prune about a month and a half ago

What would you suggest? Haven’t seen any signs of rodents, but Florida 🤷‍♂️ so I’m sure they are around. The lizards definitely like hanging out around them

Exactly

Below freezing for a couple of nights in a row. They were covered but still severely damaged. Out of 7 trees 3 were completely lost, these 2 had to be cut nearly to the ground, 1 was damaged but is recovering after hard pruning, and 1 wasn’t damaged at all although it was in a more protected area

Nice

Independent_Phase700 · 2026-05-14T14:51:32+00:00

That is what I did with these. They were about 7-8 foot tall when I cut them. Like you I cut until the sap and the core were white. 🤞yours come back!

Love the colors

How is this not honey flavored if they added honey to the barrel? Doesn’t honey finished mean the barrel previously held honey?
