    Xmas tree cactus ....is that Opuntia Subulata Monstrose?

    or something else?

    and the virus.........is that a virus or a transposon ?

    Either way it a cool idea to encourage pupping...............

    Opuntia Subulata Monstrose is also known as Christmas tree cactus

    My caesp seedlings already pup from every areole when I graft them. But it'd be interesting to do it with a normal one just to be sure that the virus actually spread to the scion.

    That makes sense, I am now definitely not going to graft a caestiposae to it, Cheers

    I think It is infected by a bacteria Phytoplasma (wiki: specialised bacteria that are obligate parasites of plant phloem tissue) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytoplasma

    I wanted to try this, i saw someone else do it on the internet once but i could only find one person who had done it.
    So I grafted Pereskiopsis onto Austrocylindropuntia subulata f. monstrosa, hopefully they will survive.

    One of the grafts was an aerole grafting type one and i used super glue to try to hold it in place.

    I doubt it would make it through customs seeing as it's in US and that it's an opuntia, but you never know.

    sometimes they send you an invoice on paypal after u win the auction, for the permit so they can get it through. But i'm not too sure

    I've been looking for some radiation, all i can get my hands on are Americum-241, found in smoke detectors. And this type of material only emits alpha radiation and a bit of gamma, so i will have to have it real close to it. Anyone know where to get radioactive material from?

    Thanks for the post woof woof woof*

    Holyyy Shit that is huge, i would call that a safety hazard if i had that growing in my backyard, don't want 500-600kg of spikes cactus falling on me lol,

    if you are going to go through all the effort of transporting it then you might aswell go through the effort of digging it out and keeping the roots intact as opposed to cutting it.
    Look for some tree removal specialist, i found these guys located in Melbourne, if you giveem a call please let us know how much they charge
