Hi guys!
I live in SoCal and have a fascination with growing fruit producing cacti (and other very low water fruiting plants). I noticed that Stenocereus queretaroensis fruit is very popular in Mexico, and in contrast to other very tropical Stenocereus species, this cactus grows in highland areas where temps can get quite cold in the winter (lows in the 30s and low 40s). So, it's not *that* different from SoCal, but all you see here in terms of fruit producing columnar cacti are all kinds of cacti sold and grown as "peruvian apple cactus." I have Peruvian apple cacti myself and the fruit of certain individuals can be excellent, but I'd love to try all kinds of different fruit producing cacti.
So, I noticed that nulzero was selling seedlings of this cactus for a while, did anyone in SoCal or Florida (or any other warm area of the world where it does not freeze) try this cactus outdoors? How have your experiences been so far?
