Senita Cactus (Pachycereus schottii) Arm Removal for Relocation

Two Options

  1. Move whole plant: Expensive. Call Arizona Cactus Sales (AZ).
  2. Cut arms: Mark south side. Cut 1+ ft above ground (avoid woody base). Callus 2+ weeks in shade. Plant 6–10 inches deep, south side facing south. Water to settle, then no water until spring (wet winter forecast).

Safety

Arms very heavy. Two people: one hold, one cut. Don't get crushed.

Timing

Before trees arrive (11/22). Cool season = best for rooting.
