Opuntia grow in the wild in Wisconsin, usually on the top of dry hillsides. They withstand those kind of temps but I assume they survive because of the dry location. I remember my surprise the first time I stumbled upon them when I first moved to Wisconsin. If you have ever driven cross country you can tell where you are by the signs at the entrance to towns: date founded (east), population (midwest and plains), elevation (rockies etc).
