Prickly Pear Cactus

The Prickly Pear Cactus is a plant $$

Gameplay
Found throughout the Mojave Wasteland and Zion Canyon, it produces Prickly Pear Fruit that can be harvested from the cactus. Some plants found throughout the Mojave are withered. When harvested, the plant appears differently, with the fruit missing. The fruit will regrow over time, upon which the plant can be harvested again.
