Not yet edible but in a month or 2 those Indian fig fruits will become delicious.

Re: Fruits
We call those Prickly Pears here in Texas. They make a wonderful jelly, when you can find it. John
If the last thing you remember hearing is somebody yelling 'CLEAR!!!', assume you've had a problem!!

Re: Fruits
After keeping them in ice for some time we devour them...
Re: Fruits
I've heard of Prickly Pears, but never seen one growing. Interesting pictures Doc.

Re: Fruits
I never knew Prickly Pear had fruit before, very good photos Doc, I remember it got loose here at one time, probably from someones garden and they had a big eradication program too get rid of it, it ran rank in our type of climate and soil conditions covering whole districts.

Re: Fruits
I have heard about them but never tasted. Excellent photos Doc.
Re: Fruits
Unbelievable, Dr. Harout!
Unbelievable, because I see these fruits since my babyhood, yet never have I tasted it! My mother put me off as a child because of the spiky bristled skin. Maybe I'll have go next time I see it lying in ice somewhere around the market...
Thanks for the reminder!

Re: Fruits
I had one once a trip thru Peru in the '80's, but don't remember the taste. I do remember the story that they will stop you up if you eat too many, and how my host knew that to be true!
