A #wild tree #cholla growing in #Arizona.
The #TreeCholla is found throughout the American Southwest and further south into Mexico.
The long stems can be removed from the #plant, and can be dried into a useful walking cane, hence the other common name of Cane Cholla.
The #purple #flowers create an #edible yellow #fruit.
