Originally from Mexico but now widely distributed throughout the arid regions of the world, where it is the host plant for the Cochineal scale. It also provides the juicy pippy prickly pear fruit.

They need full sun and a minimum of 18 degrees in winter. Are amazingly drought tolerant but unlikely to fruit in the UK.
