smooth rounded dark glossy green pads with very few, if any, spines. Orange-red flowers. We now think that this plant is OPUNTIA COCHENILLIFERA. Makes very good grafting stock. Sometimes purchased for feeding to tortoises so these plants are pesticide free!
Tall growing and vigorous, eventually tree like, few spines. Large orange-red or yellow flowers. Sometimes fed to tortoises and therefore the plants are pesticide free!
rapidly growing clustering columns, reaching a metre and more quickly. It makes a magnificent candelabrum if the top is cut off and the branches are allowed to sprout, will grow into a massive specimen if bedded into a glasshouse; red flowers.
We are delighted to say that we are now re-open for business!
So sorry we did not open in February but we have had cold weather which meant the plants were slower than usual to come out of winter dormancy. But spring is now here!
