Hello I'm looking for Opuntia ficus/Prickly Pear cuttings to grow my own.

Preferably in southern Thailand.

I saw them growing once in north-west but i was on a bus and couldn't stop.

Thanks in advance.

I live outside of Nakhon Sawan in Central Thailand, Have prickly pear growing in my yard, I do not know about the Opuntia Ficus, but it is prickly pear.

As I was born and raised in the Sonoran Desert area of North American, The Castus is like having a little bit of Sonora in my home in Thailand!

Cheers

No, we have not had any Cactus pears (tuna's in Mexico) as of yet , I was also wondering if the young tender pads were eatable as the one I have eaten in Arizona and Sonora, I believe all species are eatable!

You are welcome to drop by and get some cuttings of my cactus, to bad you could not come now as I have Two 3 pad cuttings I just cut off, as it was growing over the walk way. I could not give you more then 3 or 4 (2) pad cuttings until they grow a lot more. That is what I started with.

Contact me, before you can make the trip.

Cheers
