1 Pad of Red Fruit Prickly Pear Cactus, Opuntia engelmannii, Cold Hardy, Nopal

Survived AZ to IL shipping during winter!

Its still alive. Its planted. Its not rotting. Came looking healthy and firm. Already killed 4 other type of prickly pear (rot) and have my 5th one.....not rotting at least. This one has never shown any problems, and even had exposed roots when I pulled it out. I'm just leaving it be, and it looks fine. Definately alive.

They arrived quick and ate doing tall good.

It arrived very dry with a black edge, I'm trying to grow, but will be surprised if it makes it.

Just an FYI to others, I thought I was buying something I could eat🤣🤣. No red fruits on this at all, just the green cactus paddle, with lots of very sharp needles. Now I have to grow a cactus to try it..🤷‍♀️

Nice plantsg

Slow growing waiting to see if they can live through a cold winter

Came on time with good quality. The size of the paddle was pretty large with Lots of Spines. Need Cactus gloves to transplant. Would buy again, but we are looking for a different species.
