Prickly Pear is a bit like morning glory - revered here in Thailand as an incredible nutritional food (and soooo yum! and yet classified as a noxious weed in Australia. Had Australia all along been able to use, enjoy and benefit from this amazing and abundant food, it would never have become so invasive. It's the Aussie reluctance, methinks, to embrace difference that has caused it to become the environmental pest it is. Ironically, pineapples (originally central american) are equally invasive here in Thailand, NOT native and yet were embraced and have become "local" and appreciated.
