I have been trying to locate any Cat Tail Euphorbia in Arizona with no luck. We are looking for 15 gallon size, but I'd take anything at ...Read Morethis point. Does anyone know where I can buy them?

One thing that is not mentioned here is that this plant has a translucence to it when the sun shines on it it goes right through it so th...Read Moreat you can almost see into the plant. Pretty unique look and the photo I posted is how it looks in the dead of winter without any leaves or flowers. Very nice 'young' green color and it took two frosts without being covered so it holds up here pretty well in the Phoenix area.

similar to a pencil cactus, but branches are slightly thicker. very architectural

Got this at a home depot, and just planted it in the ground- no special care.. has gotten down to about 25F and no damage whatsoever.

In summers, arms tipped with lots of small, arching green leaves about 1cm long at the most. Does best in full sun. In shade or part sun plant gets very leggy and floppy, its arms falling on the surrounding vegetation.

Eventually, at least in Madagascar where this species is from, this plant gets to be a tree with a large woody stem and all the 'arms' above that point. I haven't seen it get that large or even form a stem... yet. Trees get up to 25+' tall.

Barely a zone 9b plant... temps down to 28F not much of a problem, but down to 25F does severe damage, and sometimes can kill plant. TEmps down to 22F at my new home completely wiped out my collection of these plants... oh well.
