Hardy cactus with edible fruit?

(1/3) > >>

Mangifera08:
Are there are any cactus species, wich are hardy in zone 7 and produce (good), edible fruits?

nullzero:
Look up Maihuenia poeppigii

Mangifera08:
Very interesting, thanks for your help!

nintendere:
I haven't yet tried it myself but I remember reading that Opuntia engelmannii produces edible fruit.

Mangifera08:
Thanks for your information. I`ve done a lot of research myself and found out that all true cactus species are edible, of course there are some more suited for eating then others. But all are edible. So if you want to know wich cactus species produce edible fruit in your cold climate, all you have to know is which species are hardy in your zone.
