Cylindropuntia imbricata
The cane cholla (or walking stick cholla, tree cholla, chainlink cactus, etc.) (''Cylindropuntia imbricata'') is a cactus found in the Southwestern United States and northern Mexico, including some cooler regions in comparison to many other cacti. It occurs primarily in the arid regions of the Southwestern United States in the states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada. It is often conspicuous because of its shrubby or even tree-like size, its silhouette, and its long-lasting yellowish fruits.
==Distribution and habitat==
The cane cholla's range is the arid regions of Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, south to Durango, Zacatecas, and San Luis Potosí. It occurs at altitudes from and is hardy for a cactus (USDA Zone 5A).
In parts of its range, often just below the pinyon-juniper belt, it can be abundant, surrounded by low grasses and forbs that are brown most of the year; in such places chollas are conspicuous as the only tall green plant. Plants may form thickets or be spaced at a few times their width in "gardens".
The species is naturalised in Australia in old mining localities and along watercourses. It is known there by the common names of Devil's rope cactus or Devil's rope pear.〔 It is a declared noxious weed in New South Wales and also occurs in Queensland, Victoria and South Australia.〔
