We love nopales. We DON'T love prickly pear thorns which is why we don't buy fresh pads here. I had read some time ago about thornless varieties. Given that <ahem> some garden catalogs and websites can be a little heavy in their claims of a plant's good points, and gloss over the bad, can anyone comment on thornless prickly pear?
Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.
