Opuntia consolea Size:13cm This species thrives in conditionsOpuntia consolea, commonly known as the Roadkill Cactus, produces tall, flattened pads that grow vertically in a stacked, tree like form. The pads are thin and elongated rather than round, giving the plant an unusual, almost two dimensional silhouette when viewed from the side. Small spines and glochids dot the surface. It is a fast grower for a cactus and develops a genuinely architectural presence with age. Origins Native to the Caribbean,
