Mine? I don't think it has ever had frost damage come to think of it. It did have "decapitation by thief" one year. Then somebody I hired to do house repair somehow weed eated his time and pretty much girdled the base of the blue cactus. How its alive is a mystery to me. After losing the top,it grew four new branches that look super glued to the trunk!
My other is a cutting Palm Bob sent me maybe 5 years ago now. It thrived,then one winter rotted out at the base. I re rooted it,let it recover and planted in a better more winter sun area. Doing fine now...but slow!
I should get more. Blue cactus like these are eye wonders.
