In Calabria Ultra often come across the street of the prickly pear. I think it is a wild plant, that does not require any treatment. Sprouting here and there as if they were mushrooms. The fruit is good, but to remove the thorns and is a big job. I find they are beautiful and very picturesque. Whenever I meet someone, I try to photograph it, if I'm the technical possibility. I offer below a selection of pictures of prickly pears which I think are more beautiful. The tracking is anonymous: they can grow anywhere as long as the weather permits. Calabria is certainly not the only country where there is the prickly pear, but I have seen only here and it seems a typical feature of the landscape of Calabria. The fruit he meets along roadsides. The captions to individual photos, I will try to collect all the interesting facts of historical and botanical gradually that I find on other sites, which give the Link, if just seems to me worthy of reporting. The photos below are my originals and may be used by anyone who wishes, with the only prayer to indicate the source. The original images are "heavy" (over 2 MB are taken by a camera calibrated to 5 mega pixels: those who want the heavy files only have to ask).
