BOTANICAL SAMPLE - NOT GERMINATION TESTED

Life cycle: Perennial

We really love prickly pears. While they can be annoying — the tiny barbed spines on the outside of the fruit, known as glochids, are truly horrible — they are delicious, refreshing, and beautiful. The plants are useful both as a fruit and a vegetable, since the young pads can be harvested and eaten (known as nopales in Mexico). The taxonomy of the prickly pear genus — Opuntia — is complicated, so we don't actually know the species name of any of the prickly pear accessions we offer, but we are excited to be offering this third cold-hardy prickly pear from our friend and longtime collaborator Andy Hahn in Colorado. He believes there's a good chance this is Opuntia macrorhiza. Andy found this cactus growing in the wild and reports that it has great-tasting fruit, though it's seedy (like most of them). Prickly pear fruit makes a tasty jam or syrup, but most people simply eat it raw. In our experience the seeds germinate best when planted on the surface of sandy soil given a dusting to cover them. They should be kept wet, but can be allowed to almost completely dry out between waterings. Heat helps them germinate, as does patience. The tiny cactus seedlings are adorable, at first resembling fleshy little squash seedlings, before a tiny spined tuft appears in the middle. They should be treated with care while young, but once they reach maturity they are very hard to kill, and a single pad can be removed and rooted simply by lying it on its side on the ground.

these incredible aggressive chew toys – they've seriously been a game-changer for my pups! I know it's a bit late, but better late than never, right? I've got a couple of power chewers at home, a Rottweiler and a Labrador, and anyone with big dogs knows the struggle of finding toys that actually last. These bad boys have been in constant rotation for over a year now, and I'm genuinely impressed by their resilience. They're incredibly tough! Funnily enough, we originally had three, but now we're down to just one. The others aren't broken, though – I'm pretty sure my dogs just loved them so much they've hidden them away in some secret stash, as they tend to do with their favorite treasures! Beyond just being durable, these toys have been a massive help with their training. They’re fantastic for redirecting all that enthusiastic chewing away from my furniture and shoes, which, let's be honest, is a huge win for any pet parent! Considering how long they've held up to some serious chomping, the price point is absolutely spot on. You definitely get great value for your money.watch your toe they are heavy. If you've got a dog that's a champion chewer, you absolutely need to try these out. They're a lifesaver!

Durable chew toy.
Color: Blue
My dog loves these. She chews on them a lot. She seems to like the different shapes. She is part Pit and an aggressive chewer. These chew toys last a long time. And I love the three pack so if we lose one, we always have a spare.
