Ellisiana Spineless Prickly Pear Cactus is a great choice for growing nopales, the edible cactus leaves used in authentic Mexican cooking. The ripened pear (tuna) is also edible and can be treated as a fruit. Perfect for growing in dry gardens and higher traffic areas, the spineless leaves are free of glochids, those irritating little spines that can be so difficult to see and remove even after just the briefest contact. With yellow flowers that are attractive to hummingbirds and other pollinators, like all prickly pear cactus, Ellisiana Spineless Prickly Pear Cactus benefits from coarse well drained soil.
