ʻO Cylindropuntia ka genus o ka cacti iʻike nuiʻia ma Mekikoka,ʻoiai lākou e noho nei ma nā wahi o ka US.ʻO ka mea i kapaʻia i kēia manawa, ua ulu kēia mau mea kanu ma kahi wao nahele a ua loaʻa i ko lākou mau lālā i kahi nani maikaʻi.
Nāʻano o Cholla Cacti
ʻO nā Chollas kekahi i waena o nā meaʻoluʻolu loa o nā cacti a pau i ka hoʻopunipuniʻiaʻana mai ka wā i uhiʻia ai lākou i nā'āpanaʻeleʻele e halihali nei i nā liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi a he mea paʻakikī loa iā lākou e hoʻokaʻawale mai kahi mea a lākou i hoʻokipa ai.
ʻO ka wīwīʻana i ka lāʻau cholla e lawa i ka hoʻouluʻana i kā lākou mau ulu lāʻau, no laila e mālama pono nā māla e ulu nei i nā māla e mālamaʻole.
Eia nō naʻe, hiki ke hana maikaʻi nā lāʻau Cylindropuntia i ka wā e ulu pū ana, ma muli paha o kaʻoluʻolu nani nani e hiki ke loaʻa i kēia mau mea kanu; e like paha me C. bigelovii , aiʻole ka weddy bear cholla, heʻano'āpanaʻeleʻele uliuli e like me ka holoholona i'ōwiliʻia! (ʻAʻole i'ōleloʻiaʻoe e hāʻawi iā lākou i ka hug.)ʻO kēia hoʻokahi wale nō o nā mea he kanakolu paha o nāʻano kepau, a like me nāʻanoʻano'ē aʻe he nui, e like me ka nui o nāʻano'ē aʻe e like me konaʻano, e hoʻomau i ka hoʻouka pinepineʻana i kona mau aʻa no ka hoʻoikaikaʻana i ka hoʻonuiʻana.
ʻIke i kaʻikeʻana,ʻo ka cacti he meaʻono iki ia, aʻo kaʻohanaʻohana paha he mea paʻakikī ke aloha no ka mea he mea kūikawā ko lākou spines e pili i nā mea e kokoke ana. Eia naʻe,ʻo ka nui o kēia mau mea kanu e mahiʻia e ka mea kanu kālepa no ko lākou nani maikaʻi, a like me kahi'īlioʻeleʻele, hiki iāʻoe ke loaʻa i kekahi mea e aloha ai i nā mele.
Eia naʻe, eʻike ana, aia kekahiʻano pilikino pili i kēiaʻano; ʻo ka mea mua, ua manaʻoʻia kēia mau mea kanu heʻano o Opuntia , akā ua hoʻokaʻawaleʻia ma hope o ka hoʻokaʻawaleʻiaʻana o ko lākou mau kaha. E mālama, inā makemakeʻoe i kēia mau mea kanu,ʻikeʻoe i ka mea āu e loaʻa nei.

Hiki ke hoʻopauʻia kēia cacti e ka māhele o kona mau kiʻikuʻu, i hanaʻia ma keʻano maoli ma ka hoʻokuʻuʻana iā lākou mai nā lālā o ka mea kanu. Inā kohoʻoe e hoʻopili pono iā lākou, eʻoki i nā koʻi a kanu hou iā lākou i kahi one, malo maloʻo, e hoʻomaopopoʻaʻole e hōʻino loa iā lākou ma ka hana. E hōʻoia a hoʻokomo pū aku i nā mīkina lima, i mea e pale aku ai iāʻoe iho i nā'ōkalakala pila o cholla.
Hoʻopau hou
No nāʻano nui,ʻaʻole pono kēia i nā mea a pau, no ka mea e ulu ana lākou i ka honua aʻaʻole i loko o nā pahu. Ināʻoe e ulu i nā kumulāʻau Cylindropuntia i loko o nā pahu,ʻaʻole kūpono ka waiho pinepineʻana iā lākou; e hoʻokiʻekiʻe i ke kanu a piha, e kiola i ka lepoʻeleʻele, a pani i kahi pahu'ē aʻe, a laila e hoʻopihaʻia me ka lepo lepo.
Eia hou, i kēlā manawa kēia manawa e mālama aiʻoe i kēia lāʻau kanu, e hōʻoiaʻoe e komo i nā mīkina lima, a iʻole pahaʻoe e hāʻawi ana iāʻoe iho i ka lāʻino.
Ka nui
ʻO kekahi o Cylindropuntia e hoʻopiʻi nei,ʻo ia ka diamond cholla, C. ramosissima , he cactus kūpaʻa nona nā lālā i pili liʻiliʻi a pili loa i kaʻikeʻana o ka mea kanu. ʻO kekahi hoʻi ka rat-tail cholla, C. ka'ōwili , a heʻano mele melemele kona. Eʻike naʻe,ʻo ka hapakolu o nāʻano o keʻano, he nui ka poʻe iʻikeʻoleʻia i loko o ka kanuʻana i ka home a loaʻa wale ma nā wao akua o Mexico a me kaʻAmelika Hema.
Nā mea kōkua a ka mea ulu
ʻO ka mea maikaʻi loa āu e hana ai no ka cactus paʻakikī e like me kēia,ʻo ka haʻalele wale ia. ʻO ka hoʻouluʻana iā lākou he ala maʻalahi ia e palaha ai i ka mea kanu mai loko mai - e hoʻomanaʻo, ua hoʻololiʻia nā kānana e ulu ma kekahi o nā meaʻoi loa o ka honua - aʻaʻole lākou e koi aku iā lākou e hele.
He mea nui kēia mau mea ulu i loko o ka māla cactus, keʻole i ka huiʻana me nā mea'ē aʻe, no laila hiki i nā māla'āina ke maʻa mau i nā mea kanu keʻike iā lākou he koho maikaʻi.
