About our Speaker
Rod Haenni is the current President of CSSA. He has been growing and propagating all types of cacti and succulents since 1978. Cold tolerant succulents are a specialty and he enjoys the challenges of growing from seed. Packing plants for safe transport became necessary as he frequently purchases succulents at sales around the USA.
