Description

This species is a tree-like cactus in the Opuntia family, known for its flat, paddle-shaped cladodes (pads) stacked on top of each other. Unlike typical prickly pears, Consolea grows upright like a small tree, often reaching 6–15 feet (2–5 meters) in height outdoors in the right climate. The plant has a sculptural, architectural look and can form a striking silhouette in xeriscapes or desert-style gardens.

In hot summer, water every 2–3 weeks; reduce in fall and winter.

Overwatering leads to rot.

Minimal pruning needed.

Remove damaged or crowded pads in spring.

🌸 Flowering:

Produces orange, red, or yellow flowers in spring or early summer.

May be followed by small fruit (not always edible).

🌿 Fertilizer:

Not required, but a cactus fertilizer (low in nitrogen) once in early spring can encourage growth.
