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.

News flash: The treadmill and the bench press aren't the most exciting ways to pass the time. With a partner, you can get your heart racing in more interesting ways (yes, we're still talking about the gym).
