Add Your Opinion About This Plant
Frost Tolerance: -10 C
Origin: Probably central Mexico, exact origins are unknown. Habit: Shrubby-Treelike Encounterability in collections: Common worldwide. Widely cultivated. Synonymes: Opuntia cordobensis, O.albicarpa, O.bonaerensis, O.cordobensis, O.joconostle, O.megacanta, O.paraguayensis, O.tuna-blanca, O.undulata, Platyopuntia cordobensis, P./O.apurimacensis. The form in the photos is almost spineless. The big plant is in our south Aegean coast, on sloopy hills of Bodrum county. I got some cuttings from it and rooted in my greenhouse. This species is naturalised around all Mediterranean coasts, maybe by sailors hundreds of years ago. Its orange fruits are edible and the villagers sell them in the local markets. I like this opinion Note: please don't use this box to post questions, you can do that on our forums instead. |
