Stenocereus queretaroensis cactus experiences

Hi! i have not seen information on how old they should be from seed to show flowers and fruit. What do you know about that?

I have yet to see a Stenocereus queretaroensis cactus produce fruit in the U.S.

Maybe there are people out there who have fruit producing S. queretaroensis but just don't know what species they have. I'm thinking about mexican immigrants that may have planted some seeds from some pitayos, or who brought some cuttings from Mexico. They probably don't care about the scientific name all that much. They care more about the yummy fruit. So, somewhere in California, Arizona, or Texas there's probably a fruiting specimen.

I definitely want to put in the ground but I'm renting 😔

A friend has some cuttings from me in the ground a year now. I should ask for an update from him😁

I see. The cactus will have to bide its time in the pot then.    Wait...did you say you gave your friend a *cutting*??  So your little cactus grew an arm already?

Unfortunately no branching yet. I took a cut off a single column it grew again from a shoot off the base I cut from.

Ahhh, got it!   Brave of you to cut such a prized possession at such a young age!
