Grown up opuntia megacanthus I posted around a year ago, getting a few lbs a week from this guy in my front yard 😋

That's big, I am curious how old it is?

Holy #cactus! 😲

@kylers about a year and a half ; they can easily grow 25’ w/ a 15’ x 15’ canopy

@KariSamuel hehe 😉 one of the young ones ! The ones at my house would be 25’ y’all but I eat so much cacti 🤣

You should post a recipe or two when you're preparing it! 🌵 I have never had cactus before!

Oh, @KariSamuel is right, you should post a recipe. 💓

@lovestogarden @KariSamuel sans spines, of course. Lol😊

@KariSamuel most people haven’t! Or don’t know it’s edible. I’ll post up a few recipes this weekend if I get a chance 🤙🏽 I’ll make sure to tag you too

@lovestogarden I will ! Going to write down how I use it the next few days and show you all some cacti recipes 👍

@kylers 🤣 ofcourse! You know what I’m going to maybe make a YouTube video of me cutting, destining, peeling and cooking a few of the species; will post photos here but YouTube will show it off visually 👍
