My Aunt gave me a start of hers in 2016. 2 starts about 18" each .. She lives in Ohio... Hers was kept inside & was about 7' tall. I brought my 2 starts here to south Louisiana. By 2020 they were about 10' tall. I decided to plant them in the ground. 5 months later, I have 5 flowers getting ready to bloom... Super excited 😁

Got a peruvian apple cactus and a prickly pear cactus growing next to each other in our mobile home park. I pick and eat the fruits whenever I get the chance, they're juicy and delicious. The prickly pear seems to get a lot more fruit though, we might not have enough night pollinators for the peruvian apple so I'm guessing it needs pollinated by hand. Usually at most I get about 10 fruits off it over the span of a few months. it has many arms on it and is almost 20 feet tall, gets a lot of beautiful flowers to open up at night. ^w^

I've ordered one online and waiting for it to come. From what I was reading is they produce more fruit when cross pollinated so it's better to have two, also apparently better to have different varieties like when growing apples. This is only what I've read.

There are a few videos of the tall one in India. It’s supported by a building and additional scaffolding and has it’s branches cut off to promote continuous growth in the one stem. It is amazing that the plant can bring water up so high to the actively growing green tissues over 100 feet high. I wonder if it absorbs moisture through it’s epidermis?

Probably a late reply, but you need another cactus of the same species (not a cutting of the same plant) to cross pollinate it, then it will grow fruit. These are not self-fertile.
