A relatively small pad for the 'maxima' variety, about 14 inches tall. I've seen much larger pads. A new clipping for my garden. Photo in the shade

Notice the scars from heavy pruning. If not pruned they have a tendancy to collapse from over weight.

The seeds in this "tuna" are a bit large and hard for eating out of hand. It makes wonderful Jam. Beautiful color.
