Austrocylindropuntia shaferi

These are 6 months old seedlings of Austrocylindropuntia shaferi, very robust and quickly growing plants, by far the largest cactus seedlings of that age I've ever seen.
Austrocylindropuntia shaferi is an Argentinian cholla, forming low very spiny bushes with nice red flowers. The seedlings demonstrate well pronounced leaves, a distinct feature of several Austrocylindropuntias.
