I found these while hiking? squaw peak.
nice? collections
Yes. tastes like a strawberry/kiwi mix to me. very? tasty. Neighbor let me pull one off her plant in her front yard.
Hey there. Thank you for posting pretty much the ONLY video on the nipple cactus on the web. Not even wiki mentions the fruit being edible! Do you have any updates on the seeds you collected from the fruit and placed in the baggie to germinate? I would like to try this as well. heading up to the plant nursery tomorrow to buy? one of these. what a great plant!
Great video. I like the way you innocently pull the cactus cuttings with your fingers and plant it. Just don’t try that with a jumping cholla? cactus cause you’ll regret it.
Could you upload? a video of the seed and cuttings from the nipple cactus please?
Your videos are cool keep doing em! I really love to eat? that fruit. I’m from Cabo, Mexico and in my school there’s the same kind of cactus and I eat its fruits when it has them. I’ll try to grow my own in my house next time I see it has fruit. I’m also trying to grow garlic and avocado. I have a lemongrass and a basil plant that are doing well too.
there are many species that cover a variety of climates, anything from? tropical to temperate(there are a few that are nativie to Alberta in Canada
But doesnt the (Prickly Pear) cactus come in several varietie’s! Mine is a (Opuntia Monacantha Monstrose). I aint eatin it!? You dudes should be careful about eating these things!
is the? fruit edible?
The fruits look like a chill? but when you cut it looks like a piece of Mellon
Thanks. Yea, like I said, with cacti and succulents, let it dry for a bit. You’re on to it :). I have never used rooting hormone for cacti or succulents before. I have mainly only grown succulents from cuttings? though, not much cacti. Thanks for the comment 🙂
just a tip, but if you actually cut it with a knife, you should wait for the stump to dry out before you plant it so that it doesnt mold. i also put rooting hormone on them after i cut them. you might already know this but? yea!:)
Haha, yea it does a? bit 🙂
Loooks like a chilli pepper lol
?
Oh right, thanks, I will have a look on? Ebay though!
Hey Huw. I actually bought it off Trade Me, which is basically a New Zealand version of? Ebay. 🙂
Hey! I was wandering how did you get? the Mammillaria prolifera cactus, did you grow it from seed? Thanks
could be the same. I know there is quite a few differnt cacti plants that have very simalr fruits. that name you said describes it? well though 🙂
this looks like strawberry pincushion.? maybe the same plant, just called differently??
haha i know right! And since i removed the fruit and replanted it,? that little peice is flowering again! Thanks for watching and good luck growing your own cactus fruit!
I can’t believe that little nugget had fruits growing on it! My grandmother had so many cacti growing in her garden and when I would visit I would always go hunting for those little pepper fruits as a kid. I loved the taste of them and now I’m actually craving? some. I’m gonna have to go raid Home Depot for some cactus plants to grow my own fruit.
Cactus slime??? lol
Can you drink? the Cactus Slime?
