I’ve had it (Opuntia humifusa) for years. Every year it got a little bigger but never flowered. Looks like this year was finally the year! They’re all gone now, but the fruits have taken their place. Can’t wait to have some 🤤

    6b, southeast Pennsylvania, U.S.A. Afaik these are the only opuntias native here? They seem pretty happy and low maintenance!

        Yup! I haven’t had the fruit from this particular Opuntia species but they generally taste a lot like watermelon to me. You can eat the pads themselves too, but mine is so small I don’t wanna inconvenience it 🥺
