opuntia humifusa prickly pear cactus Opuntia humifusa (Eastern Prickly Pear) – Unity Church Hill Nursery, LLCOpuntia humifusa, also called eastern prickly pear or low prickly pear, is an evergreen perennial cactus species native to sunny, dry areas with sandy soil across much of the eastern United States.

Opuntia humifusa, also called eastern prickly pear or low prickly pear, is an evergreen perennial cactus species native to sunny, dry areas with sandy soil across much of the eastern United States. Noted for its attractive yellow flowers from late spring to mid-summer, eastern prickly pear is one of only two species of cactus found in the eastern United States, and can be found near beaches on the Delmarva peninsula, as well as in more upland shale barren-type areas in western Maryland. 

Eastern prickly pear typically grows to about 10-18" tall and up to 3' wide in sprawling clumps, and does excellently in barren locations with sandy or rocky soil that many other plants cannot tolerate; though it prefers sandy sites, any location with drier, well-draining soils can support this beautiful plant. As a stereotypical cactus, Opuntia humifusa requires areas with a lot of sun, and can tolerate extended periods of drought and incredibly nutrient poor soils. Though this plant's flowers are attractive to a number of pollinator species, and its fruits and peeled pads are both edible to both wildlife and to people, prickly pear is also covered in small bundles of spiny, barbed bristles which can stick in the skin and cause discomfort, so careful preparation and careful planting locations are required.

As a bonus, one of the creatures that feeds on eastern prickly pear is box turtles, meaning that eastern prickly pear is one of the only selections at Unity that can be used to attract reptiles to the backyard too!

Great quality, comfy fit, and perfect for active toddlers
Size: 8 Wide Toddler, Color: White, Size: 8 Wide Toddler, Color: White
These toddler sandals are very well made and feel high-quality right out of the box. The material looks like leather and has a smooth, slightly matte finish. It feels soft to the touch, doesn’t rub the skin, and at the same time seems durable enough for everyday wear. The sole is sturdy with good grip, and overall the materials used feel reliable and easy to clean. The wide toe box gives plenty of room for natural movement, and the fit is true to size. They stay securely on the foot, and the adjustable straps make them very easy to put on and take off, even with a wiggly toddler. They are lightweight and flexible, so they don’t restrict movement and are comfortable for all-day wear. The sole provides a good balance of flexibility and grip, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Overall, a great combination of quality, comfort, and practicality — highly recommend!

Great Sandals for Toddlers
Size: 6 Wide Toddler, Color: Brown
I love this brand of shoes, all the shoes are very flexible and easy to get on my toddler. They've help up well for us and should easily last to the next kid, if not more beyond as well. These shoes are cute and great gender neutral sandals that don't break the bank for the quality. My son loves them too, and he is very ready to make his opinions known.

Cute but runs big and made for high volume feet
Size: 8 Wide Toddler, Color: Brown
Cute shoes, otherwise they would only get 3 stars. Do not recommend using the size chart. I used the size chart and tried to measure carefully, yet the first ones we got were literally several sizes too large for my daughter. I returned them and sized down 2 sizes, and they are workable but still on the big side. Beware. They are also extremely high volume. If my daughter wears them barefoot, there is quite a gap between her foot and the top of the sandal. If she wears socks, especially her thick winter socks, it’s closer to a decent fit. Again, beware. I would buy again…not sure. My daughter is very fond of them, and that says a lot. She’s three and has very strong opinions about things😅
