Golden Barrel is a cactus with a unique & rounded symmetry. These cacti make excellent, small landscape elements of texture, form and color! They transplant easily (wear thick leather gloves when doing so). Golden barrel cacti are great for small to medium sized rock gardens with filtered western shade, e.g. a palo verde tree. Evergreen, succulent perennial, rounded barrel shaped stem very slowly expanding to 3-feet tall by 2.5-feet wide, ribs 21 to 37, occasionally branching. Protect from hard freezes.
