Opuntia monocantha (?) are you referring to Eastern Prickly Pear, aka O. vulgaris?
The purple fruits of Western Prickly Pear (O. humifusa) are prized by my middle-aged customers who are 1st or 2nd generation Mexican immigrants.

I spelled it wrong meant O. monacantha, its from South America. Its called the common prickly pear also. It has a distinctive bright green pads with long 2" spines. Its my most vigorous Opuntia, the mother plant was amazing with vigor, fruit size, and production. I intend to use it as a primary Opuntia grafting stock.
