Nice to see Trichocereus......perhaps they were not dormant?

Could be Tim.
I believe they were planted the year before the freeze. So they probably had not got established yet?

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Looks like some mealybugs attack a last picture cactus?
Thanks Aaron for great pics of so exotic plants!

Yes it looks like mealybugs at the top, but was part of the cactus. I thought the same thing until I got close up. 🙂

Really nice cacti Tim and Aaron.

I like seeing natural yard in AZ, less maintainance, and they look bad ass. Gives a good look into how the desert used to look before we got here Definitely not a plantless, wasteland like more people think!!

Thanks!

I also love the natural landscapes in the yards, I think the look good everywhere, but my favorite is the desert scapes. 😛

great shots Aaron......do you think Trichocereus tersheckii is less hardy than Seguario?

Tim, they finaly have google maps of Sunsites AZ. The ground view is from May 2011 just a few weeaks before I got there in the same month of that year. This was the spring after the "big freeze". I was able to locate that Trichocereus tersheckii and it is standing but looks like it was bruned badly. Still surprises me how well most of the plants did after 1F or lower. I did not see any burn or very little burn on the Italian pines, when other places like El paso had many Italian pines die. All the saguaros I could find looked alive, and with the google maps I find a few I did not see when I was last there. 😀

Did you look around? I came close to buying a house there, very nice little town. It's not sleavy like some places around Bisbee. 😆
My wife and I pedaled our bikes all around town, not one biting dog, just a lot of retired people staring at us. 😀

You know I did 😆 😆

Kinda liked that corner lot, was already picturing house/landscape there.
And then I woke up. 😡

That'll be a nice community as long as it doesn't get over-built.

Looks as dry as a popcorn fart.

I thought you would, because I know I would. 😆

Anytime someone posts a street view, I go for a walk. 😀
