"Prickly fruit" in the context of gardening can mean different things depending on whether you mean real gardening or a game like "Grow a Garden" on Roblox.
- In real gardening, a classic example of a prickly fruit is the Prickly Pear Cactus fruit. The prickly pear cactus produces edible fruit that has tiny spines called glochids, which require careful handling. The fruit tastes somewhat like a mix of watermelon and pear with a citrusy tang. Growing prickly pear cactus involves planting pads in well-drained soil under full sun, and the plant is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance. Fruit appears a few years after planting and can be harvested with gloves to avoid the spines. The cactus pads themselves can also be eaten as a vegetable called nopales.
- In the game "Grow a Garden," prickly fruit refers to a category of fruits with spiked or spiny surfaces. The prickly fruits in this game currently include Cactus, Dragonfruit, Durian, and Pineapple (with Durian sometimes unobtainable). These fruits tend to be rarer and valuable in the game and have special interactions with certain pets that increase fruit size. Cactus and Dragonfruit are the most prominent prickly fruits available to grow in the game.
So, if you mean growing prickly fruit in a real-world garden, the prickly pear cactus is a straightforward and popular example. If you are referring to the Roblox game, prickly fruits like cactus and dragonfruit are the relevant ones in the game's farming system.
