Cactus I.D
    #21758103 - 06/03/15 04:45 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Can anybody give me an I.D on these Cacti?
I know they are inactive, I just am trying to figure out if I can eat them. Thanks! :sun:

They are opuntia,and edible,but you'd have hard time eating the pads with all those spines.

Maybe they will make good fruits:thumbup:

I have an endless supply of them, they grow in giant patches for hundreds of miles around me.

Does it produce fruit after flowering ??? there are about a dozen patches of them flowering a few hundred feet away from me.

Thank you for the I.D! :grin:

the fruit is delicious and makes good jams and Jellies. .. the pads, when young and or removed of spines/glochids, make what are known in mexican cooking as Nopalitos - Nopallitos. they can be cooked like a vegetable in strips and added to fajitas and tacos. Sometimes people pickle the strips too.

hope that helps.

but yes. . it is a kind of Opuntia-cactus.

They are starting to bloom all around me on my elevation, how long does it take from flower to fruit> I'm getting hungry and a man can only survive on noodles and water for so long.  :peyotezen:

Thanks :tongue2:

I'm hoping the rain won't hinder their flowering, it just started pouring in the middle of the desert like wtf.smh.

But, I got like 50 acres of these cactus growing so you best believe Im'a make some jam and jellies and put that shit on the marketplace.

Really? How odd, I thought the yellow was special! They are allllll pink is this area, when the bigger patches bloom I'll take some photos. There will be probably close to a thousand of them blooming any day now, as long as the thunder-storms don't fuck shit up. I can't wait :awesomenod:

Without being too specific, which part of the PNW are you finding these in?  I really love that pink flowered variety...

I'm actually down in the Utah/Arizona/Nevada desert, right on the border of all three states.
Just recently moved from the Seattle area.
