I was reading online about a variety of edible cactus (Opuntia
ficus-indica, cultivar 1308) that is spineless. It was developed at
Texas A&M University @ Kingsville, or so I read.

Anyone know where (or if) this type can be purchased? Alternatively,
know of any other edible cacti that are totally spineless (including
glochids)?

Thanks,

The nursery "It's About Thyme" in Austin has them, and I have one
growing here. :-)

I could callus off a couple of pads for you if you want to try cutting
propagation.

It's basically a spineless prickly pear.

Cheers!
