3 Invasive cacti facts Austrocylindropuntia, Cylindropuntia and Opuntia species Invasive cacti impact on Australia environmentally, agriculturally and aesthetically, as well as posing a risk to animal welfare and human safety. Invasive cacti are drought resistant and hardy, surviving in low rainfall environments. They spread easily by seed (in some species only) and by stem segments (fragments) that root readily to form new plants. Opuntioid cacti vary significantly in their form and habit, ranging from low-growing shrubs under 50 cm to erect trees up to 8m tall. Species are found throughout most Australian states and territories and there is potential for further spread. Australian rangelands are especially vulnerable to cacti invasion. The cost of control often exceeds the value of land infested. All cacti are exotic to Australia. ShAUna Potter Opuntia tomentosa 02 03
4 Austrocylindropuntia, Cylindropuntia and Opuntia species The problem Three types (genera) of opuntioid cacti have naturalised in Australia and are now considered Weeds of National Significance: Austrocylindropuntia, Cylindropuntia and Opuntia. Dense infestations compete with native vegetation, limiting the growth of small shrubs and groundcover species. The plant s sharp spines or barbs can cause injury to stock and native animals and contaminate wool and hides, reducing or preventing grazing activities and productivity. Large stands of cacti provide harbour for pest animals, such as foxes and rabbits and, due to their spiny nature, can limit access for stock mustering and recreational activities. The spines are capable of causing serious injury to animals and humans. Plant segments kept in sealed containers have been known to survive indoors for three years without soil or water, demonstrating their ability to persist even in severe conditions. Opuntioid cacti are very adaptable, growing in a range of soil types and areas that receive above 150 mm of rainfall annually. Opuntia robusta Henry Rutherford 04 05
5 Austrocylindropuntia, Cylindropuntia and Opuntia species The weed Opuntioid cacti are a group of plants that belong to a sub-family of Cactaceae. Originally from the Americas, some species were introduced into Australia to support cochineal dye production, while others were planted as garden ornamentals or hedges. One of the most well-known opuntioid cacti is common prickly pear (O. stricta), which covered some km 2 before the introduction of the Cactoblastis moth, a highly successful biological control agent, in There are around 30 species of opuntioid cacti that have naturalised in Australia, with infestations in all states and territories except the Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania. Henry Rutherford Henry Rutherford Opuntia tomentosa Plants have jointed stem segments, also known as pads or cladodes. These segments, which can be flat or cylindrical, contain the green tissue of the plant where photosynthesis occurs. Leaves are small, and typically drop off when segments are young. Opuntioids often have large, colourful flowers that are white, yellow, orange, pink, red or purple. Most produce fleshy fruit which ripen red, purple or yellow. Some species produce viable seeds that are bird and animal dispersed. Varying in form and habit, opuntioid cacti range from low growing shrubs under 50 cm to erect trees eight metres tall. They are distinguished from other Cactaceae sub-families by the presence of glochids small, detachable barbed bristles. Glochids grow from areoles, the small circular or elongated woolly cushion areas on the surface of segments. Areoles are also the points from which flowers, new shoots or spines can grow and are present on both cacti segments and fruit
6 Austrocylindropuntia, Cylindropuntia and Opuntia species Weed identification The appearance of opuntioid cacti can vary significantly, from the more familiar tall, erect and flat segmented common prickly pear (O. stricta), through to small shrubs with narrow, flattened, rope-like segments such as Hudson pear (C. rosea; C. tunicata). O.stricta, Prickly pear C. tunicata, Hudson pear A. cylindrica Cane cactus C. prolifera Jumping cholla O. robusta Wheel cactus Austrocylindropuntia originate in South America and are shrubby with cylindrical to club-shaped segments. They differ from Cylindropuntia species in that their spines lack papery sheaths. Of the 11 species worldwide, two have naturalised in Australia A. cylindrica and A. subulata. These species are popular in cultivation in other parts of the world. Cylindropuntia are native to south western USA, Mexico and the West Indies, have cylindrical segments and spines with papery sheaths that separate from the spine in their first year. Many species have easily detachable segments, such as C. prolifera, commonly known as jumping cholla due to its ability to seemingly jump onto passing animals, humans and vehicles. Opuntia extends from North America through central America, the West Indies and Galapagos Islands to Southern South America. They are branched shrubs, typically up to two metres high, though they can grow taller. They have flattened stem segments, commonly referred to as pads, which are usually round or ovalshaped. The most well known Opuntia species is common prickly pear, introduced to Australia in the 19th century
7 Austrocylindropuntia, Cylindropuntia and Opuntia species Growth pattern in suitable conditions Opuntioid cacti are perennial plants that are generally long-lived. Flowering typically occurs from spring through to summer, with fruits forming in late summer and into autumn. Not all species develop mature fruit, but those that do can produce numerous seeds, with a hard seed coat enabling longevity. Seed can germinate year round depending on rain, though seedlings are not likely to survive if they are in exposed conditions. Seedlings can be difficult to detect when small.

28 Austrocylindropuntia, Cylindropuntia and Opuntia species How they spread Vegetative spread is the most common form of dispersal, and can occur year round when segments, immature fruit or flowers detach and make ground contact. New shoots then grow from areoles on the upper surface of the segment. Segments of many opuntioids will attach easily to clothing, footwear and the fur and limbs of animals, aiding their spread. New growth (and spread) can also occur from flowers, from which new shoots or roots can grow. Seeds are a less common form of spread as not all opuntioid cacti produce viable seed. Species such as wheel cactus (O. robusta) and common prickly pear (O. stricta) produce bright, large fruit that are attractive to birds, aiding dispersal. Other animals, such as foxes, also spread the seed. The spread of cacti is aided by the movement of water; hence distribution often occurs along watercourses, drainage lines and across flood plains. Where they grow Opuntioid cacti grow throughout a wide climatic range, from arid, semiarid environments to warm temperate, sub-tropical and tropical areas. In Australia they appear to have no preference for soil types and are found growing in calcareous loam, shallow granite, red earths and clay soils. Cacti flourish around old homesteads, dumps and mine sites. What to do about them While there are several options for managing opuntioid cacti, the most appropriate method will depend on the size and age of the infestation, site access, resources and the species being managed. For large infestations, integrated weed management approaches will be necessary, using a combination of biological control (if available), herbicides and or/ manual removal. Follow-up is essential in any control program, particularly given the ability of cacti to reproduce from segments or fruit. Spread prevention Opuntioid cacti are spread from the movement of seeds, fruit and segments via birds, animals, water, vehicles, equipment and people. Good hygiene is essential when working in infested areas, including staying on tracks. All segments and fruits should be removed from an area as they are capable of regrowing, even under very harsh conditions
29 Austrocylindropuntia, Cylindropuntia and Opuntia species Chemical control The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) regulates the use of chemicals in Australia. For more details on herbicide registration and permits visit the APVMA website, Registration of herbicides varies across states and territories. You should always check the product label and seek advice from your local council or state/territory weed management agency for information on spray rates and adjuvants. Opuntia species respond well to stem/ pad injection, while many Cylindropuntia species require overall spraying. When using herbicides, care must be taken to ensure adequate coverage of the plant (all sides of the segments) to prevent regrowth. In the case of foliar spraying, the addition of a marker dye will assist with identifying any missed plants or segments. Plants should be actively growing and not under stress from heat/drought or cold conditions. Plants may die quicker as a result of warm weather spraying, as cooler conditions can slow the uptake of herbicides. Herbicides may not result in a complete kill. Control sites should therefore be monitored for regrowth and follow-up activities applied if necessary. Cylindropuntia prolifera Shauna Potter 54 55
30 Austrocylindropuntia, Cylindropuntia and Opuntia species Fire Hot fires can kill plants, although regrowth may occur. Burning can also assist in providing access to sites so that other control activities can take place. Removing the bulk of the plant through burning can also reduce the amount of herbicide required for follow up control. Advice should be sought and permission may be required in areas of native vegetation. Check with your local council or state/ territory weed management agency. Grazing The spines on opuntioid cacti prevent grazing in most instances, however, stock and other animals sometimes feed on less spiny species in times of drought. In most instances the presence of opuntioid cacti limits or prevents grazing activities. Cylindropuntia imbricata Shauna Potter 56 57
31 Austrocylindropuntia, Cylindropuntia and Opuntia species Mechanical control Care must be taken when mechanically or physically removing opuntioid cacti due to their spiny nature. Small, isolated plants are easier to remove than large, dense infestations and some species, such as Hudson pear and devil s rope, can pose significant risk of injury when handled. Physical removal can be difficult as any segments detached in the process can regrow to form new plants. Material must be disposed of appropriately via deep burial. Biological control There are two main agents used in the biological control of opuntioid cacti Cactoblastis cactorum, a moth with stem boring larvae, and several Dactylopius species, cochineal scale insects. Cactoblastis has been extremely successful in controlling common prickly pear (O. stricta) in most situations, although it is less effective in cooler, wetter areas or very dry locations. Cactoblastis larvae feed on segments, resulting in the collapse of plants. They can feed on a range of opuntioid cacti, but are only effective at controlling common prickly pear. Henry Rutherford the effectiveness of cochineal. However, successful control is possible for tiger pear, common prickly pear, drooping tree pear, devil s rope and velvety tree pear. It is relatively easy to infect vulnerable cacti species with Cactoblastis and cochineal by re-distributing the agents either as eggs (in the case of Cactoblastis) or by placing infected segments on unaffected plants (in the case of Cactoblastis larvae or cochineal). Researchers are investigating potential cochineal strains for the control of Hudson pear and trials are underway for the use of cochineal on wheel cactus. Opuntia robusta There are several Dactylopius species (cochineal) present in Australia. The species look similar to the naked eye so it is important to use the correct cochineal. For example, cochineal that is effective on tiger pear will not work on common prickly pear. Heavy rain and cold weather can inhibit 58 59
32 Austrocylindropuntia, Cylindropuntia and Opuntia species Legislation Opuntioid cacti are declared weeds in Australia. Opuntia ficus-indica (Indian or Barbaryfig) is generally excluded from declaration (except in Western Australia) as it is a commercial food crop in parts of Australia.
