Prickly Pear Cactus 'Flame Thrower'

Opuntia humifusa x

Live Cuttings (6"-15" pads) & Live Plants (3" & 6" pots) - Cold Hardy -20F!


Prickly Pear Cactus 'Flame Thrower' (Opuntia humifusa x) is a rare and beautiful accidental hybridization of Opuntia humifusa and an unconfirmed variety that we suspect to be O. woodsii, giving this hybrid a vivid flower that mimics a flame as the flowers change color from red, to orange, to finally to yellow and cream. A truly spectacular opuntia hybrid that every serious cactus collector would want in their garden! This variety grows very large, bright green (almost lime colored) pads that are nearly spineless and edible and delicious once cleaned and cooked. This variety also produces "wet fruit" or edible fruit that once cleaned can be made into jelly, juice, and jams. This variety seems to be more tolerant of moisture as well, so much so it's as if they prefer it. Reaching approximately 2-4 feet tall by 3-5 feet wide (if kept unpruned). This is one the larger variety of prickly pear cactus we grow and has been growing completely unprotected for decades in the cold high desert region of central Oregon, zone 6b/7a, repeatedly seeing temps below zero and single digit degrees F! These have been planted as far north as Canada and as far east as Maine, surviving temps below -20 degrees F!!

Rooting or Planting instructions included.

Great but Pain
It’s alright, does the job as it is supposed to. It’s easy to use and helped fix my Uniqlo jacket that was all matted. It didn't restore it to it's original form however it did unmat it. If I bought this way before and touched up the jacket, I think it would of been perfect to this day still. Maintenance of those jackets are a must! The brush is strong and works well for fluffing it up because of the metal wiring. The only bad parts are that it can hurt if you accidentally poke or scratch yourself, I actually got cut by it when I quickly was brushing. It’s kind of hard to get the lint off the brush but it's better than others and might hurt because of the metal. But overall, it’s a cool tool that makes my jacket fluff again!

Works well, however…
Purchased this to give life back to my Sherpa backed blankets. This is a well made brush handle is comfortable. The teeth are strong and durable. They did not bend around while I used it and maintained its shape. The problem I guess I’m seeing is that it doesn’t get deep down into the fabric to it’s just a surface “petting”. Maybe if the teeth were further apart or something. But does seem to provide some form of fluff.

Very useful
Works great on polar fleece. I also use it gently on. My jeans to get rid of dig hair. Speaking of dog hair, I have been known to run this gently over the dog's coat.works great for that too.

Works great, faux fur blanket is like new again!
Just used this on a faux fur pet blanket that I have had for 2 years and never brushed. It worked amazingly! Since it was so matted it took a bit to do the whole blanket (50” x 40”) but short strokes got it looking like new very easily. Some fibers came out in the brushing along with pet hairs, but the rug shedding was minimal.

O. M. G. It worked so great!
First, let me say, I'm not getting paid for this. This is personal experience. I was about to discard this rug. 1. It's old, like 13 years old. 2. It's been in storage for 4 years. 3. It's matted, as you can see in the pictures. 4. It's brown. Them I saw how much rugs are!😳So I had to come up with something. This was cheap to see if I could salvage it and not spend over $100 on a new rug. The dirt and lint that came out was gross. But as you can see, I was able to make it look new-ish again. I'm keeping the rug and this brush! I have other sheepskin rugs that are smaller and brand new, so this will come in handy.
