Mine arrived today too.  Thanks!  They were large thick mature pads that filled the box.

Thanks for the positive feedback y’all.
I can fill about 10 more orders.
Packages have been averaging 7 big pads each.
I can add a couple other varieties if anyone is interested.

Your welcome Nick!
Yes I often have to cut them to get the biggest one’s to fit in the box.
I some times like carving faces or silly stuff into the growing pads for fun.

Thank you very much Jonah for everything, I received my order of opuntia cuttings and everything was perfect. I can't wait to grow your wonderful varieties 😉.

I am just working with Papaya, PCH, and Honeydew at this point.
The Yellow fruits are really good , but I changed the hardscaping in my backyard and the Yellow was super spikey and 15 feet tall and wieghing down on the roof every year. I’d have to climb on the roof to pick fruits and cut 40 pads out to reduce the weight.
I am counting on everyone I sent those to , to keep the genetics going ;)
What other varieties do you have jonah?
