cactus market

  • cactus-greenhouse-2
    For cactus crooks, the Big Bend region is ripe for the picking
    Zoe Kurland
    The cactus and the succulent market don’t stop at your local plant nursery. Collectors who want especially rare specimens hit the lucrative cactus black market. And many of those cacti come out of Far West Texas, where the low level of surveillance and high level of unique specimens have made it an ideal location for poachers.
