Yes......it makes a great fence for the property.....and that's one benefit of having cactus as a cash crop. I have started the expansion of the thorn-less cactus, soon it will be along 989 lineal feet of the exterior fence area. The second benefit is that this planting area was considered to be wasted land. Total land gain will be around 5500 square feet of farm yard...that "popped out of the sky" :-)
