The Mexican Fence Post is one of the most attractive and cleanest-looking cacti available. Native to northern Mexico and found in the Sonoran Desert, the tall stems branch out from the cactus base forming a fence-like cluster of tall, cylindrical 'posts' usually with 5 or 6 pronounced ridges. Along these ridges run symmetrical rows of small white thorns that make the Mexican Fence Post look striped from a distance.
The Mexican Fence Post also produces a wonderful pink to light-red flower that adds great seasonal color to your landscape. Because it is native to the sub-tropical areas of Mexico, the Mexican Fence Post requires more irrigation, usually weekly, during our hot summers to perform its best.
As a slower-growing, drought-tolerant cactus that thrives in dry, well-drained soils, it is a perfect choice for most homeowners and landscapers looking to add a touch of the desert to their landscape project. At Moon Valley Nurseries, we have grown a wide range of cacti for decades, so we know that the quality will be the best you will find anywhere.
