Description

Prickly-pear is a native evergreen succulent found in coastal dunes, sandy riverbeds, and pine forests.  It is a fast growing, shrubby cactus with heights of up to 20 feet (ca. 6 m).  Its short trunk may reach 8 inches (ca. 20 cm) in diameter.  

It grows best in areas that have lots of sun, light and minimal water.  In hot, arid climates it can be grown outdoors in a bed or container.

Great for xeriscaping and easy to transplant. Seeds must ripen for a year+ before germination occurs. Edible fruits and leaf pads. Prickly spines and irritating hairs.
