A cactus fence is a hedge gardening hedge or fence made of closely spaced cactus plants, sometimes with barbed wire or wood interwoven with the cacti.

Often their primary function is to keep wandering large animals off a private property. Sometimes, cacti are used as barriers without being formed into a structured fence. opuntia Prickly pears mostly Opuntia stricta were imported into Australia in the 19th century for use as a natural agricultural fence and to establish a cochineal Carmine dye industry, but quickly became a widespread weed .

Cactus plugging is the practice of Vandalism vandalizing or destroying a cactus , usually a saguaro , for fun. Typically the cactus is cut open, drained, then packed with explosives and ignited. In another variation, the vandal simply shoots bullets into the cactus body until portions fall off or the entire cactus falls over. In one notorious incident in 1982, one David Grundman was killed when an arm of the saguaro he was plugging fell on him. A song by the Austin Lounge Lizards co written by Ann Clardy poked fun at Grundman s stupidity. The act of cactus plugging, if performed on a saguaro , is illegal. In any case, it is a particularly destructive form of vandalism , as saguaros require over a hundred years to reach a substantial height.
