Native to central Mexico, Aaron\u2019s beard cactus is a multi-stemmed shrub growing up to 2.5 m tall. The light green to grey-green egg-shaped pads grow to 30cm x 26cm and contain multiple white spines to 4cm long. It reproduces by stem fragments, which are spread by becoming attached to animals, footwear and vehicles; and from dumped garden waste. If permitted to spread, Aaron\u2019s beard cactus could invade vast areas, much like prickly pear. <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV>", "summary": "Map layer extracted from Biosecurity Queensland pest distribution survey displaying distribution of individual invasive weed species.", "title": "Prickly pear: Aaron's beard cactus", "tags": [ "weeds", "pests" ], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": 0, "maxScale": 0, "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "© State of Queensland (Department of Agriculture and Fisheries), 2023", "licenseInfo": "" }
