No thorns, no drama — the Thornless Tuna Cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica 'Burbank Spineless') is the laid-back legend your landscape’s been waiting for. With broad, paddle-like pads and juicy, edible fruit (called "tunas"), this cactus brings serious Southwest style without the stabby attitude. Ideal for USDA zones 8–11, it loves full sun, thrives in well-draining soil, and doubles as a drought-tolerant showpiece AND a conversation-starting edible. It’s a cactus you can actually hug (though we still don’t recommend it after a margarita).

As for care? It’s as chill as it looks. Water deeply but infrequently — let the soil dry out completely between soakings, and cut back in winter when it's resting. Whether you're creating a desert-inspired garden, feeding the local wildlife, or just want something bold, edible, and thorn-free, this cactus is the cool, calm, and collected addition you didn’t know you needed.
