Grusonii barrel!

This grusonii golden barrel is about 8-9  inches in diameter. You will love the heft and presence of this barrel.

There are six species in Echinocactus, they develop a dense, fuzzy wool at the apex which gives rise to the flowers in mature plants. This can be a wide, flat area covering almost the whole top of the plant in E. grusonii . Other similarities in this genus are an overall barrel shape and well-defined ribs. All species have robust spines and produce yellow or pink funnel shaped flowers.

The 6 remaining species are indigenous to the Southwestern United States and Mexico. In cultivation, the species E. grusonii - commonly referred to as the "Golden Barrel" - is easily one of the most popular of all cactus species grown. It has a striking appearance due to its golden-yellow spines. Ironically, it is nearly extinct in the wild and exists in only a very small area geographically Your plant will ship bare root (unpotted) unless otherwise requested or specified.
