  I use to have a big pickerly pear cactus . Her name was Satina Picky Picky, as a house plant for many years and won two ribbons at the county fair as she was huge even one year stuck a skeleton in her she has 1inch thorns . Sadly had to rehome her cause I had small siblings at the time. I miss her and may end up buying a couple pads online and trying and regrow one .

  Being of Mexican descent, I'm trying to gather more information on properly harvesting and selling prickly pear for human consumption. I make salads, agua frescas, add it to tacos…I’ve even tried it at a couple bars as a mezcal flavor, which is refreshing :) I would love any resources on how to go about getting more educated on this because I have a lot on my property. Everyone keeps telling me to get rid of it, but I feel an attachment to the plant and want to do it justice. I might be weird but something is telling me to take care of it. I get as farmers it can be tackling task but idk… enough on my TED TALK😊

  It's a big dream of mine to have a hill country live water ranch. Maybe out of reach at this point but I have some vacation rentals in the hill country that I may some day liquidate and put into one property for my family. I almost pulled the trigger last summer on 125 acres in Hunt, near some of my rentals but wanted more elevation changes and it wasn't live water.

  Always heard cedars suck up water depleting water supply, stunt or choke out live oaks and make great wildfire potential . The single trunk tree can be trimmed up to make nice shade trees but the big round bushy kind are a nuisance. Don’t mulch em if you want grass growing to replace the tree.

  I see a lot of people commenting here about the wasting of prickly pear while trying to eradicate it from large pastures and lands. I don't think you guys and gals realize the amounts of prickly pear some of us are dealing with. Far too much to try and find other uses for it. To do anything with it one has to somehow remove the thorns, the most efficient method that I know of for thorn removal is burning. It can get very expensive, (propane, lots of it) and extremely time consuming. In other words,for the money and labor invested, it just isn't even close to being worth it.

  Juniper has been a great thing for me for over thirty years. If you know how to use it, you'll be grateful for the juniper. Cut all the bottom branches and use them to heat your home or cook at your BBQ. The flavor is wonderful.

  our ag program are way to focus on killing instead of land management meaning making money / stewarding land. You can flame those pears during the wet season and use them as extremely high quailty feed when goats, and cows are taught to eat it after it's been fired. Don't waste good feed people that is drought bullet proof in prone drought areas.

I have a question recently moved out to a ranch in New Braunfels in cactus has taken over was thinking about using a bucket loader to clear the land then use pasture guard would you recommend that if I wanted to keep it from coming back planning on keeping some cactus in some of the other pastures? Would like to get some cattle relatively soon so don't want to have to wait a year that's the reason I wanted to use a tractor.

  Healthy riparian zones are essential to a resilient environment. I've noticed one in particular over the years next to a highway interchange built in the late 1960s south of my hometown of Chico, California. This area always caught my eye when travelling on the highway and road next to it for its striking foliage. The trees and bushes there are beautiful. Similarly, of course, the creeks through the town of Chico itself have riparian areas of their own, one of which being the phenomenal Bidwell Park. Another area is the Butte Creek Canyon, which was mined in probably the early half of the last century, where tailings were deposited in a north to south back and forth pattern. Those tailings these days are a relatively healthy habitat covered in good vegetation next to the creek. I hope to learn more about my area's particular riparian zones and how we can help cultivate their success.

  I hate this. Prickly pear is a native plant. Cacti store water through drought. Wildlife depend on the prickly pear. Removing native species on a large scale will have negative consequences on the land. Instead of removing the plants completely, plant the pads in more preferable locations. Let the native populations continue to live on the land like the landowners do.

  You raise a good point. Juniper is a native plant. Mesquite is a native plant. Pricklypear is a native plant. Oftentimes, the best management in certain circr=umstances is to reduce the dominance of these plants in favor of increased diversity of other native plants. This video is targeted towards pricklypear infestations in the Llano Uplift portion of the Edwards Plateau where cactus goes bananas.

  @johnkemp4370Ай бұрын

  I will point out that mesquite is native to old Mexico below the rio grande. It only came north of the river via the non-native species of horses , mules and donkeys. From about 1600-1800 the introduction of these animals spread the mesquite all the way to Colorado. Richard King had almost no mesquite when he first moved onto today’s king ranch. He saw the results of all the horses and mules he raised during his lifetime. Don’t believe me? Read James Micheners “Texas”.

  @chinesenoodles80052 жыл бұрын

  The hill country is very unique and the rocky soil just has to do with the fact that the hill country is a giant limestone uplift. Coupled with semi arid rain cycles it creates and ecosystem where only certain plants can thrive, and nothing can get too big as it just isn’t possible because there isn’t enough soil to sustain giant trees.
