Colletia Paradoxa  also known as the Anchor Plant , Thorn of the Cross, Crucifixion Thorn and Jet Plane Plant is native to Uruguay, Argentina and southern Brazil. The Anchor Plant is slow growing to 9 feet tall with oppositely arranged flattened 2 inch wide triangular spine tipped gray-green photosynthetic stems (called Cladoes)  that resemble a ships anchor . A small creamy white lightly fragrant flower (almond like scent) develops at the stem joints in late summer or fall.

New growth of the Colletia Paradoxa  has small leaves that are present for a very short time.

Plant in full sun in well drained soil , it is drought tolerant once established and can tolerate temperatures down to at least 20 degrees F , some say it can take as low as 0 degrees F.

It is very attractive and impressive barrier plant , nothing will dare go through it , with that in mind plant it well away from paths or if in a container well out of the way of passing  guests.

Our first sighting of a mature plant  was at the Wrigley Memorial & Botanic Garden located on Catalina Island  off the coast of Southern California while on holiday in 1977.

We are offering a well-established plant  that is 12 to 18 inches tall by about 6  to 10 inches wide.

We are open to the public by appointment only, please call us at (805) 969-9178 so we can explore dates and times for our get together. Weekdays between 2 pm and 6:30pm are best . GPS guidance will get you to our mailbox which is located approx. ¾ mi. from the Ranch on a single lane mountain road. We are not easy to find and generally discourage visitors who just want to look, I do this for several reasons , some of which are to limit the traffic on the private one lane road so my neighbors are not inconvenienced, not fill up our very limited parking spaces, and minimize the interruptions on our operations so I am able to have more time to spend with family.
