Many cactuses are native to the Eastern U.S. We don't know if this is one of them. We have two cactus species. The pictures here are all of the fruit producing type. Its leaves can be eaten, but why would you bother, when we have a thornless type you could grow also. The thornless one is O. cochenillifera. It is much easier to eat, but the fruits are undesirable.
