Desert Cactus Guide
Barrel Cactus
Ferocactus cylindraceus var. lecontei

The accordion ribbing of this cactus can expand or contract with the amount of water it is holding. These ribs are covered by numerous red spines. The barrel cactus will grow from one to four feet tall and live anywhere from 20 to 30 years. The taller barrel cactus tends to bend toward the south.

Yellow flowers, about two inches in diameter, appear in late spring and early summer in a ring around the top of the cactus.
