Hope you post more photos of your other species as well. You live in a very interesting climate. Is that a Brahea Armata to the left of the cactus?

    It was 1886 meters. It's pretty much Pinned at 32 c in the hottest months in the day with nice nights that rarely go over 15 c. Winter at the coldest is usually a couple of degrees at the coldest at night then it warms up to 20 or more around noon.

    Coldest I Experienced was -5 for like 20 minutes. that made a Majesty spear pull, but it recovered although I think it got stunted. yes it was interesting I had a Royal there for 3 years without an issue. Other Royals around the city that had stayed perhaps 2 decades as well. Also had Kenia's under Canopy, one in ground and they did well. 

    I moved down to a much Varmer Climate in Mazatlan now. Here I got a Coconut, Royal, Teddybear, Butia and waiting for a Bismarckia just need to cut down a tree first.
