Greg,
Opuntia cactus can be grown in most of the US and much of Canada if you choose the right species. I have an experimental bed of a couple dozen types. Most of these have thrived here in northern Iowa. The secret is very good drainage. On the hardy ones the winter cold is no problem, spring moisture can be a killer though.
