Also known as Tree Cholla, Walking Stick Cholla.
Cholla produces thick branches, bearing short white or light brown spines, with most stems high above the ground, supported by a strong central trunk. The violet flowers are followed by orange fruits that stay attached to the plant for many months. Cholla provides nesting sites especially for Cactus Wrens and Gila Woodpeckers.
Cholla is low maintenance, drought-tolerant and provides winter interest. Perfect for rock or xeriscape garden.
