Opuntia is a large genus of plants native to North America and South America. All have succulent stems, some of them becoming woody with age. Stems may be cylindrical or flattened pads. Tiny, succulent leaves may be present on the newest growth (see photo below.) Most species are spiny.
Carpobrotus edulis is native to South Africa. It is also known as Hottentot-fig, ice plant, highway ice plant or pigface and in South Africa as the sour fig (suurvy; earlier: hotnotsvy), on account of its edible fruit.ontrol of ice plants can be attempted by pulling out individual plants by hand, or with the use of earth-moving machinery such as a skid-steer or tractor, though it is necessary to remove buried stems, and mulch the soil to prevent re-establishment.
