| Nopal cactus growing at the Orchard. Copena V1 and F1 have different shaped pads, different flower and fruit colors. |
Q. I’ve been having a difficult time acquiring these two
varieties of nopal. Do you know how I might find them?
A. They are not really varieties but selections. Varieties
in the horticultural sense meant to be cultivated varieties. I have them at our
facility in Las Vegas but they would have to be propagated from a couple of
pads. The only other source I know of would be in Hermosillo, Mexico. You could
try contacting Everardo Zamora at the University of Sonora, Hermosillo, Mexico,
but getting across the border into the US might be a bit difficult or time
consuming.

There are other selections/varieties available online that
you could look at being grown in southern California and Arizona. There are
some with some huge tunas (fruits) that are very eye-appealing but I have never
grown them, only the Copena’s which are grown commercially in Sonora.

Hi, I'm in Santa Rosa, CA and am interested in buying some copena f1 and/or v1 pads to propagate and grow here. I would be willing to come to Las Vegas if you have any available to sell. Please reach me by email if possible. Thanks. [email protected]
