Every time I see any succulents (cholla, prickly pear, barrel cacti, etc.) sprouting up in my yard where I don't want them, I have cut them out, carried them with kitchen tongs, and just stuck them in the ground in my one corner of my backyard where I also throw errant rocks. This has been going on for about 2 years now and so far almost everything has grown no problem, even up between the rocks. I haven't done anything more complicated as far as transplanting, and the area is turning into a very nice 3D rock garden corner. I think that if you dig down maybe a couple of inches and then replant the cholla pieces where you want them, they should grow.
Sounds beautiful!
This seems like a natural yet creative solution to a prickly problem. Good job!☺️
Enjoy Tx Jewell. We have Mohave & Senora, Tx?
I had chollas on my property in .ca. I HATED that stuff. My dogs got it in their mouths, my horses mane and tails, even stuck to the hind quarters of my large quarter horse. It was a task to get the pliers and pull it all off him... it DOES work as a natural deterrent against a fence to keep unwanted people and coyote out. Though.
