Narrative

Obtained by Peter Felker from Maria Elena Torres. Collected near Santiago, Chile in 1980. In Chile, the light green fruit was used for commercial production. Light frosts of -2 C are common to the area around Santiago. The cladodes were nearly spineless. In Texas, this plant produced a low yield with sweet fruit, small seeds, and thick rind.
