BJ says... If you want to grow them, get the Indian Fig. Its not a registered weed, and is a hell of a lot less spiky than the weed ones you find by the side of the road everywhere. I've got a few stands across the road and harvest the unripe fruit before the critters get a chance to spread them. That said, the Indian Fig reproduces whenever a pad hits any ground, so will probably be on the weed list in the future as well. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 29th January 2011 11:25am #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

Steven says... If you want to grow a prickly pear in your backyard they can be easily controlled. Things like that get out or control because people are either careless or they simply dont know it can be a problem. They can grow vigorously but they will probably only have to be cut back every few years or so. The best way to get rid of the leaves is to cut them up with a shovel and put them into your compost bin. The worms absolutely love them. many times ive seen thousands of worms eating a rotting prickly pear leaf. With that said every year youll get a bounty of fresh prickly pears :) | About the Author Steven Eastern Suburbs 1st February 2011 11:27pm #UserID: 704 Posts: 325 View All Steven's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... Does anyone in Brisbane want a domesticated Prickly Pear plant? I've got one that I need to dig up and give away. Its about 1.5m tall. Was planted in a bad spot and has to go. I also have a Peruvian Apple Cactus in the spot next to it that needs to go - It was grown from a cutting of an improved cultivar - 'wonder white' i think it was. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 23rd November 2011 11:05am #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

A.C says... Im reflecting on a past experience and would gladly send some paddles if I was growing them which unfortunately Im sorry Im not.It was a plant growing on a friend of ours property which the plant was removed for new housing constructionmany years ago. Im just looking back at this type of prickly pear I havent seen any plants with similar size and colour fruits which also included red and red/yellow, yellow, and orange ones too.But those purple ones were something to behold. | About the Author AC1 Cowandilla S.A 20th December 2014 10:06pm #UserID: 8055 Posts: 103 View All AC1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Naykin says... Hi, we have been trying to find a prickly pear plant or leaf that will carry the green/white fruit. So far we have only found plants that will carry the yellow or red/pink variety. Does anyone know if the green/white plant can be found in Australia - and preferably in Victoria?

mark says... You can also get them from http://www.poppysgc.com.au/ They have smaller ones for about 45 and 75. Can anyone tell me if these still have the of finely barbed, yellow bristles - even if they don't have the spines? The little bristles are worse than the spines. | About the Author mark Cordeaux Heights 14th November 2017 10:48am #UserID: 16772 Posts: 2 View All mark's Edible Fruit Trees |

Steven says... Hi Abi, Id give you some but im located in Melbourne. Do you know any Italians? Most, especially the older generation will either have them growing in their backyard or know someone who does. After they immigrated they used to plant them along the train tracks too (at least in Melbourne they did) so you may find some along old train lines. | About the Author Steven 82113308 24th April 2018 10:08am #UserID: 704 Posts: 325 View All Steven's Edible Fruit Trees |
