Opuntia in Alberta?

Post by NM »

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.

Opuntia polyacantha, most likely.

Look at this topic.

If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.
°C = (°F - 32)/1.8
