It should still produce some fruit. It was about 8 feet tall when we moved
into that house and it was maybe ten feet when we moved out, 5 years
later.

It is. I took some pictures of the blooms and sent them to my son in
Denver. He's into the photography thing and wanted some cuttings to see if
they would grow in the mile high climate. He sent me pictures just last
month of the one leaf of the Prickley cactus I sent him with some new
growth on it. It's inside for the winter, but still growing. It'll
probably bloom in the spring.
