Am I A saguaro?
I picked this up cheap on Saturday. The new red spines are throwing me a curve. My other Saguaro do not show red as new growth.

Yes sir you have a Saguaro there.

Sure looks like saguaro with the black spines flattened at the base. On mine the window and conditions for
new growth is quite small, so easy to miss.

Thanks All. My other 2 Saguaro have never shown red at the growth point. This one threw me. At $12.00 US I could not pass it up. Altmans keeps throwing in surprises with what they deliver to my local nurseries.

Not a rear thing: I've seen red new spines at habitat saguaro seedlings.

My largest Saguaro has red on new spines.
