Where in Africa is the prickly pear cactus found?

Answer 1

Prickly pear cacti are natives of the American deserts and not found naturally in the Sahara. Any prickly pear that might be found there had to have been planted by man. They quickly become a noxious invasive species becuase they have no natural enemies to control them.

Answer 2

Prickly pear cacti are not natives to Africa. They are strictly New World species. If any prickly pear are in Africa they got there through the intervention of man and are not natural. They can quickly become a noxious invasive species.

Answer 3

They are found in South Africa and Lesotho and have been there for centuries. I'm sure other African Countries also has them so is not new in Africa at all as our great grandparents have been eating them in the 1800s
