OH1 - Opuntia humifusa [native] - (Michigan) plant -X- O. phaeacantha (Enrico) pollen

Seeds extracted from fruit collected prematurely in order to avoid being consumed by the rabbits.

The flower of the O. humifusa I manually pollinated with pollen from the O. phaeacantha. This yielded the largest fruit of all the fruits on my O. humifusa.
