As an Australian I find the idea of growing prickly pear in your backyard hilarious. It's an incredibly invasive feral species.

However, since I also have bamboo growing in my backyard here in Australia, I can't throw stones, can I?

It would be very hard to hit Wisconsin with a stone from Australia!

Do you guys eat them? They are delicious in salsa and salads.

It's going to be time to make some jam in a few weeks!

Don't pick these by paw, try to use the claw.
