Hi all, I'm always looking for a new hardy cactus to try out in my garden, so far Opuntias (of course) and Escobaria missouriensis have done very well, but i would love to expand. Here is what i already have, stuff big enough to trade cuttings of is marked with a * Opuntia humifisa** Opuntia NOID "trailing cactus" spineless (likely O. humifisa)* Opuntia macrorhiza(?)* Escobaria missouriensis Opuntia polyacantha var. rhodantha 'Dark Knight'* Cylindropuntia imbricata (didn't make it though last winter outdoors)* Cylindropuntia leptocaulis (didn't make it though last winter outdoors) Opuntia fragilis var dentada (would like a spiney var as well) Delosperma "John Proffet"* Delosperma "fire spinner" Delosperma basuticum

I'm in wv and grow many different kinds of hardy cacti, agave, and succulents. I have some larger varieties like cholla. A couple of my padded opuntia get pads about a foot long.
Fall isn't the best time to plant cuttings, but you might have success if you shelter them a little this winter
Where in PA are you?
