Love a weirdo cactus! I was wondering if you can explain why some columnar cactus are thinner at the bottom and bulge at the top as they grow? My Polaskia chicipe is doing that and I thought I was doing something wrong

Thats not ripe the pink fruits are commonly red inside not green thats why prickly pear jam has a vibrant red and or magenta color to it the red can also come out pretty dark
@CactusUncle4 күн бұрын
Technically they are ripe when they go from green fruit to red (seeds are viable and ready), but you are correct that if left on the plant longer more of the flesh would have turned red which is better for eating.

Mexico is apart of North America, so it can naturally be found outside of Mexico. It is a prickly pear, it is also tuna.
