Did you know?

Tree cholla is mainly found in the Southeastern United States, often surrounded by grasses and low-growing plants. If a piece of a tree cholla falls to the ground, it can root and start a new plant. Although native to the US, it is considered noxious in areas of introduction, like Australia. The fruits are important to birds as well as mule deer, pronghorn, and other animals.
