Cactus fruit

 

 

 

 

I don’t know all the different kinds of cactus that can grow here in Texas.  This looks like it might be a Peruvian Apple Cactus (Also known as Night Blooming Cereus).  We had a small one in our yard for a few years.  It really does only bloom at night, and each bloom only lasts for one night.

 

I read that the fruit is edible and tasty for humans or wildlife.  The cactus gets really big, and this fruit is way out of reach for me though.
