Echinocactus grusonii - Golden Barrel
Echinocactus grusonii
The golden barrel cactus is short and rounded. It grows in a globe-like formation, like a barrel, hence the name. As with many barrel cactus plants, the stiff yellow needles grow in clusters along the ribs of the cactus. As it grows, it can develop pups, which create a cluster effect.
Exposure Full to part sun
Grows to 1-3 feet high and 1-4 feet wide
Hardiness Zone 9-12
*Plants ship bare root* Why bare root?

DOMESTIC USA SHIPPING
Our horticulture experts will determine if the plant needs to be shipped in soil, based on the particular species, size, and your hardiness zone. In general, agaves, cacti, and succulents will be shipped without soil, called “bare root.” (see below) We will find the best freight carrier to your address. While our top priority is a healthy, happy plant delivery, unfortunately, we have no control over how carriers handle our packages, nor where they are dropped off.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
All plants shipped beyond the USA mainland, including Alaska and Puerto Rico, will be shipped “bare root.” (see below) All plants shipped internationally, including Puerto Rico, require a Phytosanitary Certificate from the US Department of Agriculture.

Please check with your local customs department to see if you need any additional certifications, such as import permits. Note: while we have extensive experience and a track record of successful international plant shipments, we are unable to guarantee the plants' condition upon arrival.
BARE ROOT SHIPPING
This process simplifies shipping by dramatically decreasing the package weight, which keeps the cost of shipping as low as possible.
Customer Reviews
Everything was perfect! Cactus was even bigger than I expected
Gorgeous barrel, am getting more!
Shipping is fast and the cactus is healthy and wrapped well. Thank you 😊
Beautiful, if a little painful, Golden Barrel cactus! Nice size, too! I had my tongs ready to place it into the pot with but I got scared they would crush some of the thick, perfect golden spines so I picked it up by two particularly long spines and fit it into its hole VERY GENTLY. Looks lovely. Was delivered so fast! Thanks! A beautiful cactus!
You literally cannot get a better price for the size. I hope to have this Cactus for a long long time!
