This was amazing! This cactus was very bushy and only about waist high, and just choc-full of fruit. It must have been a beautiful sight when it was blooming.   |

How unusual, I wonder if it is edible?

Oh, yes. I bought some once, but it was a job trying to skin them with those prickles jabbing me all the time. I should have worn leather gloves! ;D
A long time ago in Arizona, I tried both jelly and jelly candies made from them and they were very good.
