Opuntia whipplei 'Tiny Tim'
A Cistus introduction, but we must thank Tim Hanis for finding this northernmost Utah population of O. whipplei and particularly for this striking clone. These spiny, miniature chollas, reaching only about 6-8" in height but spreading to 6 ft or more, are variable in color with 1-2" long "pads" covered with golden spines. Even these small plants manage to produce a number of yellow-green flowers each spring followed by yellow fruit. A most attractive garden "shrub" or container specimen for sun and decently drained soil. Frost hardy to -30F, USDA zone 4.Ā
