Opuntia cacanapa 'Ellisiana'

EAT ME! …SUSTAINABLE NUTRITION. A beautiful, iconic, thornless, prickly pear cactus that produces copious amounts of edible young “tuna” pads in spring and summer, as well as ripe, juicy, red fruits in late summer and fall. Amazingly, this variety of edible cactus is cold hardy to as low as 0 degrees! Yellow flowers in summer, up to 4’ tall and 6’ wide. Full sun. Every “prepper” should have this vital supply of nutrition planted in or near their space. Considered a “super food” nutrition-wise. See our “Tuna Cactus” video on YouTube:
