Comments (16)Try eBay - they almost always have them for sale. Right now, this is out there: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cleistocactus-Colademononis-monkey-tail-cactus-4-5-Rooting-Cutting-NOT-for-CA-/122220033942?hash=item1c74e1b796:g:3Z8AAOSwgmJX0qxk That's the easiest and fasted way to get one....See MoreDoes anyone else have Monkey Puzzle Trees
Comments (124)The most recently posted Long Island street view is from 2012! No proof they are still there after the 2 polar vortex winters. And the other recent winter that was very cold in New England but not as much down here. (2016 IIRC: well below 0F on Martha's Vineyard. Have no idea how LI fared) They often look out of place in typical residential settings but I think those twin Seattle trees suit the house and are well taken care of so I give them a pass! Good catch GG. I am actually wondering if the NW DC, Bethesda, and Baltimore trees survived this horrid summer...by far the most humid I can remember. We barely had any comfortable dewpoints throughout September, not until the last few days. USUALLY cold fronts start pushing in some crisp weather by the 2nd week of Sept. It was a constant steambath since May. And yes it is humid compared to the PNW, but constant dewpoints 70F or above are not normal at least up here. There's a reason you see at least a few old ironclad rhodies in the DC/Baltimore area, but none in the deep south. And other than the late June/early July drought/heatwave - just long enough to be a nuisance - incredible rainy spells, one after another. I'm lucky to have only lost a couple important rhodies to root rot. OTOH it was nice to not worry about watering the 6 or so new planted camellias in my garden. They are so thirsty in the first year!...See MoreMy new addition "Monkey tail" cactus
Comments (56)I am a little confused. I bought a single tail. The end of the tail got a furry spot that grew into another tail. It is sticking out and I am not sure if I leave it and let it fall down or if I cut it off and replant it....See MoreMonkey Tail doubts
Comments (10)The coloring looks normal. Mine is that color. I think yours is just really young yet. As they get older they get that long "fur". The only thing that makes me think it might not be a Monkey Tail is the "tails" aren't flopping over. They start doing this early on. Funny you put this post up I just repotted mine lastnite, and broke a young piece off. See how it's already wanting to grow down. Also the new growth on the Monkey Tail cactus is usually thin at the tip. Not as thick and round as yours. Yours could be Cleistocactus strausii 'Silver Torch', but like I said yours is still young so it could be a Monkey Tail cactus. You're just gonna have to wait a little longer:)....See More- 6 years agomyermike_1micha thanked Nil13 usda:10a sunset:21 LA,CA (Mount Wash.)
