What I find funniest about this is that I have two boxes of cuttings to send you from our long drawn out ( no fault ) trade. 8. Cuttings. I think .

. Are you sure you still want it? I have it packed I just need to get a postage estimate. It will probably be about the same as the fuel costs to pick up that few ton of cacti. :). You are mad.

The real rubbish pile

post-13829-0-53852900-1428751763_thumb.j

the seed grown plants amongst these below are either PC x Bruce or PC x Sausage, these were crossed by hand by Mr X in the summer 2012.

( I will need to check this as they are older than 3 years i reckon)

The following year there were around 40 open pollinated fruits... this year Mr X says "there must have been 300 or more, It will be interesting to see what happens next year."

Am going to plant these in my own Secret Garden, Garden :wacko:
