Title: Re: [NAFEX] Opuntia?

There isn't a group for it, partly because the ones that exist were developed by Luther Burbank and they aren't cold hardy.  25 F will damage or kill many of them.  The California Rare Fruit Growers  http://www.crfg.org  does work with them, and there are a number of people working with several types of edible cactus on Leo Manuel's Rare Fruit newsletter.  Look for Pitaya.  Leo's e-mail to get on the mailing list is:  "Leo Manuel" <leom@rarefruit.com>
