Opuntia ellisiana is a spinless form of Opuntia cacanapa. Ellisiana is a relatively big and largely thorn-less prickly pear that is known to be hardy to at least 7a. The pads have a lovely grayish tinge and the flowers are a bright yellow. Being largely spineless and free of glochids (barbs) Ellisiana may be the best variety for use as edible fruit or pads (nopales). Fast grower.
We do not ship pads during excessive summer heat.
