Got about 4L of juice from the fruits in the first two pics. Still have another bag full to process.

I'm going to try and make wine and/or jam.







I bet both would be amazing :drooling:

I'm yet to try any fruit as well. What's the closest fruit one could compare it to?

It's hard to describe the taste, but to me it has a melon like flavor with a bit of kiwi.

Thanks Romeo!!!

I'm almost positive they had good callous so I potted in some dry soil.

Excited I'm going to finally have a outdoor cacti garden next year.

Seen alot of people with the cat box's so I figured I'd try it out!
Good space saver!

I had a large one like that that I had to cut down years ago because it was in the way of a fence that was going up.  I put an ad on Craigslist but no one wanted any of it, even for free. I ended up chopping it up and throwing it next to my brush pile.  Those chopped up pieces just started growing where they layed. Now I have several new plants growing from it. Those plants are tough as nails.

Yeah they are. I have to finely chop up anything that gets cut down with my machete. Even the smallest of bits will root.

Actually that's the best way to root Opuntia pads, lying flat on the ground. That's the way they evolved to grow, as the chances of a falling pad landing on its end and standing up is quite remote. :laugh:

So ive had some rooting for about two months.
I know it will go slow because of the season but should i lay them all down?
Or just leave them be?

Leave them be. Although rooting pads by laying them on their side is the best way, it also makes for untidy plants, whereas yours will probably be good for potting by the time they root.
