What is the basic difference between O. stricta and O. anahuacensis? In Greece there are many records of Opuntia humifusa, very few of O. Stricta and none of O. anahuacensis. I believe the three are much confused in my area.
Thank you

The cuttings were roughly 10-12 in. tall and 5-7 in. wide. The areoles appear to be brown with large, painful glochids. It has about the same number of spines per nopal as O. anahuacensis, the spines are light yellow color. The base of nopals often appear to be a yellow color as well. The innards of the nopals have a bizarre and nauseating odor and are slimy as you described. The tuna are red and look just like O. anahuacensis. But the only thing preventing a match is that I obtained the cuttings in zone 6 in an unprotected area of Cincinnati. Are there any Opuntias that match this description?

Hi J.R.,
I don’t know about the fruit of O. anahuacensis. I’ve never tried to taste it. But, I can assure you it is very slimy when you cut into it.
