Hello Debi, The Opuntia stricta is the old "prickly pear" that covered large areas of NSW and QLD early last century and almost ruined the grazing industry. It is a declared pest species in both states and anyone found growing it can face a fine. The cactoblastis moth was introduced to controll it and has done so to a great extent.
Sorry about that Debi.
Bob.
