Opuntia treleasei
Opuntia treleasei Bakersfield Cactus.
Opuntia treleasei, Bakersfield Cactus used to cover an area that was about 15 miles square, maybe bigger. Now it's rare.
Description
Bakersfield cactus covered large areas of the Southern San Joaquin Valley. Our plants came from Jack Zanivich who had a little nursery that grew plants for the Kern chapter of California Native Plant Society back in the 1970's and 1980's. The cactus has survived here for decades. Bakersfield Cactus grew from Arvin to Edison and up to the western edge of Tehachapi. Cactus cannot tolerate fire, the alien annual grasses moved in and then burned. So, now the cactus only exists where fire can't reach it.
