The cholla cactus

A chest-high olive green cactus, with rounded arms pointing in all directions. It appears to be entirely covered in long yellowish-white needles with thin hooks at the ends.
It can be harvested for cholla pods -- A dull green bean, palm-sized, covered in crusty warts.
Harvest begins in October and ends in June.
It's very common.
It can be found growing in the wild in the crater rim, the glass mesa, and the wasteland.
