Where Can You Find Your Own Mini-Saguaro?
It’s the perfect “mini-saguaro” for your Florida yard; the Myrtillocactus geometrizans has edible berry-sized fruit similar to plum and blueberry and can take 15f with frost covering in N. Florida, provided that you have a gritty, well-draining mix amended pit in the yard, or in a large pot. These are in 3gal pots, will grow taller, even thicker and produce many more arms as it becomes a stunning bush cactus. The fruit has powerful health benefits against cancer and inflammation. They are available at Cactus Island Nursery in North Central Florida just southwest of Gainesville in the north end of Williston, and they are also available on my website in two sizes. https://cactusislandacres.com/product/myrtillocactus-geometrizans-blueberry-cactus/ to shop for cactus and learn more. I can sell and ship these to the lower 48 except California.
