This is my parents massive cactus. They bought it about 38 years ago from Newcastle university. We think it is about 65/70 now. Grown so much in situ that it can never leave the house now as it is about 2m tall and 2.5 wide!
We last repotted about 15 years ago. it was an 8 person job. One of the arms got a little nick out of it when we were doing it, and it turns out the cactus has some kind of self defence method. Everyone's eyes and throats started clamming up and we had to leave the house for a few hours!
I have never had a conventional xmas tree when I have been home to newcastle. But when your cactus is so sweet, you dont miss them!
