I have seen them here in Idaho, but in most years they need some protection. I tried on last year, but I planted it late in the season and it died. It was protected also. If I try them again, it will be with a smaller cheaper plant. 😆
I know of some that have been in a garden for 10 years or better. 😉

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.

I think I may have some of those growing on my property? And maybe some enchinocactus horizonthalonius? I know both of them are found on surounding ranches. 😀
