Spineless Cactus Carriers and Breeding Prospects
A bulletin from the United States Bureau of Plant Industry notes spineless cactus varieties have been developed since 1907 with 25 introductions and 10 promising. Free distribution of cuttings is limited to growers in suitable regions. Spineless types may develop tiny spines under poor soil or drought and must be farmed like other crops. Breeding options include hybridizing with hardier forms or selecting for rapid growth and resilience.
