The cactus I have growing in the yard for my torts has been flowering. My questions, do these fall off and die? Is this the fruit of the cactus that I hear people talk about? It looks like new sprouts of cactus, but instead of being flat they grow round with a flower on the end. I know the flower dies and falls off, but do the little round cactus parts fall off? If they do, I want to tear them off and feed them to the torts before the fall off. If they don't, I want to leave them on to grow. Thanks for your help.
