Ace Posted November 24, 2008 Stenocereus (syn. Pachycereus) marginatus? Pretty cool to see them utilised like that but I reckon they look much nicer in random garden arrangements to give it more of a natural look. Probably a pretty effective deterrent for fence-hoppers tho! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharxx101 Posted November 24, 2008 Nice pic! I have seen fence post cactus in mexico in a pic. They look cool and dont have spines like a scop but are a coloum cactus that people use as fence posts in mexico. Cool stuff, I wouldnt mind making a fence of peruvianus! That would keep the neighbour from spying! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woof woof woof Posted November 24, 2008 fences like that are common in south & central america. in the ABC islands we still have many such fences. people still make them nowadays. on the islands people usually use the local stenocerues griseus..... a very spiney columar. good way to keep unwanted people and animals out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
