Hi all. I want to get some thornless optuna to grow for my torts. I have prickly pear but it is a pain to remove the thorns (ouch LOL) I get them in me every time no matter how careful I try to be. Where do you get your starts? Thanks

there are some that are less prickly.. but you still have to burn/singe off the thorns .
easy to plant and grow as well.

Since it's too cold for my area to grow anything good... I usually get mine online. You can plant them too since I gave some away and people started planting them.

The grade D one is what I get and its... perfectly fine and my tortoises love it :)

I just had a box of Grade D delivered yesterday from Rivenrock. I highly recommend it.....as do my torts. Not a pricker to be had, I can't say enough about Rivenrock!

I will never use the Optuna with spines again.....I hate it too!
