These opuntia cacti will survive outdoors year-round throughout much of Canada. Cold Hardy to around -23 C.

This variety of Opuntia grows mostly without spines. The outermost pads grown in natural conditions will have the occasional spine long the top of the pad. The prickly pear is one of the only two native cactus species in Canada and is considered endangered, with only two small populations known to be persisting today. It produces juicy and edible red or purple fruits.
