Peter, OF. phaeancantha works but I find them less sweet and I would imagine adding some Agave nectar or other sweetener would be needed. The same goes for O. ficus-indica fruit. Tasty, mild and less sweet than O. engelmannii I'm not certain on the Mescaline in Opuntia but would not be at all surpri...

I'm not stating that as fact only from what I have heard. I enjoy them as napalitos (small slices of the cladode) as one ingredent in S...

Alex, The Opuntia cladode must be young to be tender and before they develope a high level of oxalic acid. Any Opuntia can be used but O. ficus-indica is the easiest to prepare. My next door neighbor comes out in the morning and cuts a couple young pads, cooks them on a George Forman Grill for break...

Bachs Nursery
I live a couple of blocks from Bachs. They get plenty of my business. I love their potting soil though I amend it with about 1/4 more pumice (from Backs too) than they use because I still tend to be a bit liberal with the spring water I use on my collection. I've been in Tucson one year and have bec...

The curator af plants at Tohono Chul Park ( a must see if you get down this way) warned me to protect the plant from rabbits and rodents. Anybody have any trouble with critters with t...
