I wanted to know a few more varieties, except small ones, or ones that don't yield much. If you know about some good books on the matter i'd appreciate as well.

My Puruvian Apple makes kiwi size fruit... look like dragon fruit, taste sweeter, and produce like crazy! Gorgeous flowers. I'll post pictures later.

Those are the Columnar ones... Do you know about anything else beyond the ones I mentioned?

I purchased some fruiting cacti arms at the CRFG meeting this year. There was a "blueberry" cactus, "raspberry" cactus", and a hybrid "raspberry / plum" cactus. The blueberry is quite unique and makes a small blueberry sized fruit that has a taste of raisin, the raspberry is a very small prickly pear that is spherical and quite tasty, the raspberry/plum I haven't had fruit from, but appears the same as the raspberry just a bit lighter color, and I also purchased one of the peruvian apple as well, but also haven't had fruit. Hopefully that is enough information to chase them down.

They are rooting now.
