In this video I talk about how to properly pronounce "Cylindropuntia bigelovii"....and the anatomy and growing patterns of our Bigelow Cholla in the Joshua Tree Teddy-Bear Cholla Garden. A look at the segments and how it propagates, the amazing flowers and stamens which self-wrap around pollinators, our desert woodrat who collects the fallen segments to build rat nests (or dens), and other fun stuff.

This used to be under the genus "Opuntia" (like a prickly pear), but moved to a new genus "Cylindropuntia" - and shares this with our Silver Cholla and Pencil Cholla cacti.
