Hi.
Last summer AZ saw some crazy high temps. I used a shade cloth on my new Mexican Fence Post because it was scorched (see picture). It grew a couple of inches and poked right through the shade cloth… scorching the top of the post (see second picture).
Now I have six beautiful pups growing from the tippy top!!!!!

It will be interesting to see what happens with this. I'm worried it will get super top heavy. It's also near corner of house with lots of foot traffic.
Thoughts on what this will grow into? I have images of a mini saguaro.

Or what I should do?
I'm intrigued to leave it alone and see what kind of mutant I end up with.
Should I propagate pups off? If so how big should they be before I try?
Help!
