How long does a prickly pear take to produce?

Generally, the Prickly Pear Cactus, a member of the Opuntia family, will need to be at least 3 years old before it will begin to produce flowers. These will usually be bright yellow, depending on the variety of Prickly Pear and the climate. Sometimes, even an Opuntia that is of adequate age and maturity will fail to produce flowers, such as if there hasn't been enough moisture for the year, or if it receives inadequate sunlight.

When the Prickly Pear does bloom, the small, thumblike protrusions that the flowers grow on will become the fruit, the "Prickly Pear", for which the Cacti is commonly named. These fruits generally take 3 to six months to fully ripen, again dependent on the species. Usually, a healthy, mature plant will produce flowers in early Spring, with the fruits being ripe and ready to consume by late Summer to early Fall.

It's worth noting that cuttings from a mature plant will mature and produce flowers much more rapidly than growing from seed, in fact the Prickly Pear I am currently caring for was cut from the mother early March, and by May had already produced flowers, and the beginnings of fruits. This is because the cacti I took my cuttings from was already older and mature. I placed "my" cactus in direct, all day sunlight. Although my Opuntia is well on it's way to producing fruit, the mother plant has yet to produce a single flower. This is proof of the importance of climate, as even a mature plant may not flower if the sunlight is inadequate.

So, basically, your Prickly Pear will produce fruits as soon as it is old enough, which may be immediately if grown from cutting, and the fruits will begin to form in early Spring, maturing by Fall. Again, the climate and sunlight will have a HUGE effect on the timing, so make sure your Opuntia receives as much sunlight as possible, and don't over-water. Try to find a wild cacti from your area to take a cutting from, as these will already be acclimated to your environment, and will grow more vigorously.

What country does brambley apples come from?

Bramley apples (not Brambley) are a British apple first grown about 1809 and first commercially available about 1850. In my view, the Bramley is easily the best cooking apple in the world. Raw, it is so sour as to be inedible - but mellows considerably when cooked and develops a very sophisticated, and unique, flavour and texture. Bramleys are very large apples and contain so much juice that there is no need to add water when cooking in pies, crumbles, sauces etc. Sugar and a little lemon juice is almost mandatory in these dishes, however. The only other countries to grow Bramleys in any quantity are the Irish Republic and the United States. Something I find totally inexplicable!

Thirteen plums weigh as much as two apples and one pear Four plums and one apple have the same weight as one pear How many plums have the weight one pear?

So let apples be A. Plums are B. Pears are P.

13B=2A+1P

4B+1A=1P

So 13B=2A+(4B+1A)

Lets subtract 4 plums from both sides. 13-4=9 and 4-4=0. Then we add up the apples, so 2+1=3. 3 apples equals 9 plums . So 1 apple equals 3 plums. Then the problem states four plums and one apple equal the weight of one pear. So 4+(1x3)=7. So the answer is 7 plums equals 1 pear.

Is carving on the tree trunk harmful to the tree?

Any "attack" on a tree is harmful, much like cutting your arm with a knife. It won't kill you but it will hurt, but eventually it will heal - much like a tree.

Cutting any part of the bark removes the ability of a tree to "pump" water from it's roots to the furthest leaves, so any incision will affect a trees growth.

How long does it take for an apple tree to grow?

If you mean from seed to fruiting size, then it takes between 6-10 years. If you plant a grafted tree purchased from a nursery, it will fruit in 3-4 years. The tree itself would take longer than this to reach full size.


from a nursery it would take 3-4 years and from a fruit it would take 6-10 (from nursery it costs allot of money trust me it does)
