Description: Ferocactus histrix, also known as “Acitrón barrel cactus” (Biznaga barril de acitrón) is a species of Ferocactus native to central Mexico. It is a large barrel cactus that can be commonly found throughout all the Central Mexico matorral. It produces an edible fruit appreciated for its sour taste. This cactus grows as an unbranched spherical globe and can reach more than 1 meter (3.3 ft) in height after several years. Mature plants can have their stem divided into 25 to 40 ribs. The epidermis is blue-green in mature plants. As in other cacti species, when the apical meristem is damaged, the plant produces new shoots from the areoles close to the tip of the stem. Spines are light yellow and turn brown as they age. There are one to four protruding central spines that are straight or slightly curve, flattened or angular and up to 9 cm (3.5 in) long. The six to nine radial spines are slightly curved, round and up to 8 cm (3.1 in) long.The plants pictured is what will ship.I ship all plants bare root and use USPS Priority or Ground Advantage depending on the weight and destination.
