Description

The listing, HUGE Purple Prickly Pears (15+ seeds) has ended.

There's a huge old prickly pear clump down near the hardware store that has the biggest fruit on it that I've ever seen. Round, and about baseball size -- waaay bigger than the normal little oval fruits on all the other prickly pears in the neighborhood. (Just for comparison: the little fruit in the upper left-hand corner of the picture was taken from a plant just down the street -- and that's a quarter in the pic, not a dime!).
And the fruit is a really deep purple, juicy, not too many seeds.
Interestingly, the pads on this one plant tend to be thick and round (ping pong paddle shaped) rather than flat, sort of pointed ovals, like you usually see. The pads do have spines, but are not insanely prickly.
In this climate (northern California) the fruit ripens in mid fall and hangs on well into January (or until someone comes along and takes it all!).
So here's the offer: 15 (at least) fresh seeds.

I do have more seeds, and there seem to be a lot of folks out there who want them, so yes, I'll be doing at least a few more auctions
