Hi Cereoid, guess you don't want the prickly pear, then? g Yes, it
is the common variety, but you are wrong about people not wanting it.
Perhaps they don't know it's so common?

I have a real question for you; is it possible that this cactus can be
divided? It does seem so, and will alleviate the problem of such a
large plant being transported by its unwitting new owners. Any
recommendations?

And yes, the dogs are quite stupid.

Thanks in advance - Callen
