# This guy just keeps throwing out these pink things. I’m use to Cati…

This guy just keeps throwing out these pink things. I’m use to Cati flowering but these are unusual. Anyone have any input? They’re like a fruit with seeds inside but they’ve never flowered.

No clue, but it sure is cool looking!

Eat them. It’s little fruit - the darker the sweeter.

Wow i had no idea you could eat them. I was just YouTubing it. Thanks 😊  
Definitely going to collect some seeds as well!

I am certain Home Depot has so much footage of me sampling all the cactus fruit.

My daughter has a friend who makes jam with big Prickly Pear fruit. The taste is almost its own thing (sweet, salty, umami, cactus fruit ha).

Adorable! Is it like a tiny elongated dragonfruit? I assume the bright color is to attract animals to eat and spread the seeds.

Mine fruits like crazy too!! I didn’t know what they were supposed to be!
