Informations supplémentaires

The Beavertail Cactus is found in southwest USA, mostly in the Mojave and Colorado Deserts, and also in northwest Mexico. The Beavertail Cactus is a smaller prickly pear cactus growing about 60 cm tall. A single plant may consist of hundreds of fleshy, flattened pads. These are blue-gray, growing to a length of 14 cm and are maximum 10 cm wide and 1 to 1.5 cm thick. They are usually spineless, but have instead small barbed bristles, called glochids, that easily penetrate the skin. The rose purple flowers bloom from spring to early summer.
