The vigorous and highly productive Opuntia cactus that Burbank distributed to India in the early 1900's, and is still found widespread there. It is one of his best types for vegetative pad production, and may be the "Texas Feeder" variety. This specimen shows an impressive 2.5 seasons of growth from a single pad at LBCAS. Collected at Meherabad, Maharashtra, India.
