Growing Cactus in Toronto
Each year, (a) mature cactus can produce 10-20 offsets….
“You can harvest the babies off the larger cacti every year.”…
Last year they had about 1,500. They now have almost 5,000 cacti growing at Tilllsonburg Garden Gate.
“This year I have to pull off 50,000 cacti… with my hands.”…
“Once we have 50,000, then we’ll be able to expand sales,” said Dawson…. “Next year, 50,000 x 10, we could have half a million cacti.”…
“It’s a specialty market.”
That’ll be a lot of cactus soon enough! I wonder if they’ll be trying to sell them to us in California too? It’s a bigger market for cactus than Toronto…
