Opuntia in Alberta?
Opuntia in Alberta?
While watching Dino Hunt (in Alberta) on Netflix, I spotted an Opuntia. It was in a rugged area. Does anyone know the name of that Opuntia. I assume that cactus tolerates wet soil and cold winters.
Living at the extreme limit of the Sierra Nevada Mts. where cactus can still grow.

I believe opuntia compressa is one of the hardiest opuntias and can grow in snowy regions.NM wrote:While watching Dino Hunt (in Alberta) on Netflix, I spotted an Opuntia. It was in a rugged area. Does anyone know the name of that Opuntia. I assume that cactus tolerates wet soil and cold winters.
There are more cacti in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

There are several Opuntia cactus that grow in Alberta and British Columbia. Do a search on Google ans you will see them.

I always thought of Canada as arctic-like.

Yes, but naturally O. humifusa (= compressa) grows only in Ontario. In Alberta most abundant and seen in countryside is O. polyacantha.elieestephane wrote:I believe opuntia compressa is one of the hardiest opuntias and can grow in snowy regions.NM wrote:While watching Dino Hunt (in Alberta) on Netflix, I spotted an Opuntia.

If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.
