The year 2025 began with severe damage from a winter that saw temperatures dipping to 12° F, which caused extensive damage to the spineless opuntia ficus indica orchard. Most of the pads rotted on the plant, were covered in a black mold and clearly could not survive. I cut most of the pads off down to one (or no) pads connected to the main trunk pad. I believed that most of them would die from their cold winter injuries eventually. As you will see later, I was wrong.

Cactus pears or prickly pears (Opuntia spp. Cactaceae) are omnipresent plants of the Mexican landscape and have great historical and ethnobotanical significance. Ripe fruits and tender cladodes (pads), have been collected from the wild since pre Columbian times, and the mature cladodes are used as a forage for livestock. Opuntia originated in Central Mexico and some parts of the Caribbean region (Benson 1982; Russel and Felker 1987). Today cactus pear is a well recognized fruit crop in Mexico cultivated throughout the central semiarid highlands.
