I'm in east TN and have a rather large cactus collection (about 100 specimens). I have a place that gets full (brutal) sun and would like to plant a cactus that survives East Tennessee winters. I have an American cactus (from the USA west coast) which I propagated and tried to toughen it up, but I think it may have died due to frost. I see large cactus growing in various places (Knoxville, Oliver Springs, Oak Ridge, etc) that have been growing for years and they produce summer bloom. Can anyone tell me what cactus will grow outdoors in my location?
