Are they in abundance or rare to find ?<br /><br />The Coastal Barrel Cactus of San Diego County is just about extinct in so many areas. When I was a teenager, I found to largest southern exposure Coastal Barrel Cactus habitat ever and I know most people have never seen it. Reason is because it's on a US Military Reservation. I did lots of daring exploration when I was younger that I wouldn't do now. <br /><br />I've wondered what ever happened to them after the 2003 Cedar Fire which consumed almost everything on that base property. The only advantage they would have had is that the extreme southern exposure was sparsely vegetated, Some of those coastal Barrels where as big as the Anza Borrego Desert Barrel Cactus. That's almost unheard of for them. <br /><br />I love and miss cactus. I think I'll move my Prickly Pear Beavertail pad outside today. It's warmed up to 50 finally. Of course, I'm sure Tucsonians would still freeze at that temp - *smile*Chaparral Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618976919417073750noreply@blogger.com
