| Is anyone growing Opuntia ficus-indica in Albuquerque? Just curious. I know it's not really hardy for that zone, but I know some adventurous gardeners like to push the envelope sometimes. I think it might work in the right microclimate. Thanks-

| Albuquerque is such a diverse place with a 1,000 ft. plus variation in altitude, I wouldn't be surprised if there were some choice locations that might work out. Valley, no. Foothills, possibly in a courtyard. I have seen ficus-indica sold here, but haven't seen them in the ground anywhere. |
