They get up to 10' tall (they take a long time to get that tall). The leaves are toothless. While both "Dasylirion longissimum" and "Dasylirion quadrangulatum" are often considered the same plant due to their similar appearance, the key difference lies in their flower stalks, with "Dasylirion longissimum" having a spindle-shaped flower spike that widens in the middle, while "Dasylirion quadrangulatum" has a more conical flower spike widest at the base; essentially, "longissimum" flowers later in the season with a different shape than "quadrangulatum" which flowers earlier and has a more tapered flower stalk, despite looking very similar vegetatively.

But of course, it’s a cholla so its not soft. This is one of the more attractive chollas of the world, with its densely spined, yellow stems. Plants are often short but well-branched, reaching about a foot or two tall. But plants can get taller with age, usually up to 5-6’ tall. Of all the chollas, this one seems to have some of the most readily detachable stems—and this species mainly depends on vegetative reproduction. Flowers are a greenish yellow, sometimes with reddish tips. This species is native to Northwestern Mexico, and to the United States in California, Arizona, and Nevada.

Inner tepals of the flowers are light to yellow-green, sometimes suffused with maroon or rose. Native to Arizona, Nevada, California, and Baja California. Reported to be hardy to around 0°F but since this species varies a lot, hardiness is probably also variable.

Originally this plant is from South America, but it has made its way up to our region in disturbed soils. It doesn't seem to displace native plants, though it can be weedy in the landscape. If it shows up in your yard, you can pull it, or you can keep it too--the plant offers a lot to wildlife (nectar for hummingbirds and other pollinators, and as a larval host for many moths). Though it is naturalized and not native, it isnt invasive in the sense that it does not break into established ecologies and displace native plants. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65959595d74edc6c6da9d6ee/1709126981354-7ZCK4S0FMB54FE0Z6XWU/large+%2855%29.jpg https://www.spadefootnursery.com/perennials-pq daily 0.75 2025-01-10 https://www.spadefootnursery.com/perennials-pq/penstemonparryi monthly 0.5 2024-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65959595d74edc6c6da9d6ee/f438070a-61f4-4a2b-b487-59beef05771c/Penstemon-parryi-P-web-N0516_1_1419369140_web..jpg https://www.spadefootnursery.com/perennials-pq/phylanodiflora monthly 0.5 2024-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65959595d74edc6c6da9d6ee/4c0f114b-bba7-448e-be25-30d6dfcecefb/large+%2848%29.jpeg Perennials P-Q - Frogfruit (Phyla nodiflora) Frogfruit as a groundcover, photo by Andrew Massyn, iNaturalist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65959595d74edc6c6da9d6ee/d2e30a0a-e2c2-4ed2-9786-f30e24092499/large+%2849%29.jpeg Perennials P-Q - Frogfruit (Phyla nodiflora) Details of an older inflorescence, with spent, fertilized flowers below.

The leaves can be almost 15' long, and the bloom can reach about 50' tall.

Being a weevil, it has a protruding snout and chewing mouthparts. The adult female enters the base of the plant to lay eggs in the spring. These eggs hatch into larvae (grubs) that feed on the succulent core of the plant. The weevil’s damage is significant, but the weevil opens the plant to decay microbes which enter the plant causing it to die and collapse from the base upward. The larvae have chewing mouthparts and develop in the dying plant. In our region, seem to be most attracted to non-native agaves like A. americana. They also tend to prefer plants that are somewhat stressed out (like the common underwatered plants found in urban areas). Often, many pups of the agave will survive and continue on after the main agave rosette has "melted and died". https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65959595d74edc6c6da9d6ee/3e78122a-fe4a-4dce-92f9-b630b9857d2f/medium+%286%29.jpg Agave This agave (Agave x pumila) is thought to be a hybrid, and is of unknown origin. Plants grown in the ground have grown bigger, but plants in pots only grow 2-4" tall and wide.

They usually don't kill a healthy plant but they can make it look less attractive. Its noteworthy that most wild agaves have lots of these feeding blotches, and that the perfect-looking agave that people, especially plant collectors, try to maintain is rare in the wild. Plants that are over-shaded can be more susceptible to these insects than others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65959595d74edc6c6da9d6ee/1b3b0fcc-89a9-42ad-9877-839a137756df/large+%2819%29.jpeg Agave The smallest *actual* species of agave is the Santa Cruz Agave (Agave parviflora) which generally gets about 6" tall and wide and is native to Arizona in the United States and Sonora in Mexico.

These microscopic mites are tiny and wormlike, with four small legs around their head. Adult agave mites are translucent and pale whitish in color. If you see excessive scabbing accompanied with what looks like greasiness around the scabbing, this is the mite. There isn't much you can do about these if they hit your agaves. Most agave people will just tell you to dispose of the plant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65959595d74edc6c6da9d6ee/699d5100-b5fb-4393-9c53-3c4ad0ddb4cd/43934730032_7930d9aa61_c.jpg Agave Coccid scale insects are tiny and have a flattened, plate-like cover that's less than 1/8 inch in diameter. When several scale insects are on a plant, it can look like the plant has reptile-like scales. They are pretty rare but if they appear it is usually because the plant is in too much shade and/or drought stressed.

The plants tend to lack longer spines, though this individual has some longer spines. The fact the plant is much more robust and growing larger probably points to it being Opuntia santa-rita rather than O. macrocentra which is the species that usually has the longer spines. When identifying cacti, sometimes you need to go off of a few traits, since cacti sometimes have unpredictable morphology.
