Thanks palmbob,

First, much respect to all that post info in this forum. I have been a follower since 2009 since I re-landscaped/re-built after the 2007 Witch Creek Wildfire in San Diego. No sympathy requested. LOL While I am not an expert like you folks, humbly submitted, I am a quick study and greatly appreciate any info.

Specifically, I have a few pads that seem to be var. decumana and like the pics under that name, their seems to be be one tht has huge elongated very thick pads and one that has the same form but smaller and thinner. Any comments about attributes of the two are greatly appreciated. I eat the pads and fruit of the and lynnwood I have room for one more in ground. The other will go in a pot for later consideration.

The "Y" shaped piece is the samller/thin and the (2) single pads are the larger/thicker variety

Thanks in advance for any feedback.
