Grow the ultimate survivor cactus with these 2 Opuntia 'Snow' cuttings (4-7") - a fuzzy, cold-hardy prickly pear thriving in -10°F to 120°F! Perfect for dry farms, animal feed, or edible landscapes, this CA native (likely O. polyacantha/erinacea hybrid) offers:

  • 🌼 Edible yellow blooms (late spring) for pollinators
  • 🌵 Spine-free pads (torch before eating)
  • 🍐 Sweet mini-fruits (great for jams)
  • 🐐 Goat/tortoise-approved drought-proof forage

  • 🍽️ Edible All-Star: Flowers, pads, and fruit (torch spines first).
