Opuntia ellisiana (Spineless Prickly Pear) Medium water use Water use Medium to highOpuntia ellisiana is a spineless form of Opuntia cacanapa. It is derived from cultivation in the United States. Spineless Prickly Pear is a great addition to the landscape for those seeking a cactus form, showy blooms and bright red fruits (tunas). Beware, although it doesn't have long sharp spines, the tiny glochids (slivers) are very irritating to the skin if the plant is not handled correctly. Grab the pads between the glochid "dots".
