In addition to producing food, the prickly pear cactus is also used in many types of commercial products, such as red dyes and hair conditioners. This versatile plant is also popular in southwestern landscaping since it is so hardy. Prickly pears have been known to grow everywhere from mountainsides to vacant lots.
