It's easy to see where the Fishhook Barrel Cactus gets its name. The long, red, curved thorns produced by the Fishhook Barrel Cactus give this specimen a unique look that carries throughout its lifetime. The spines can be yellow, red, or brown, creating a beautiful appearance. During late spring, the Fishhook Barrel Cactus will bloom with orange-red blooms during spring, followed by round, pear-shaped fruit that turns yellow when ripe.
Native to the Sonoran Desert, the Fishhook Barrel Cactus pairs perfectly in the southwest and will thrive in the full sun. A fairly fast-growing cactus, the Fishhook Barrel Cactus is most known for keeping its rounded, symmetrical shape throughout its life. Well suited for desert gardens and xeriscapes, it requires full sun and well-draining soil. The Fishhook Barrel is drought-tolerant once established, but like most cacti, it requires occasional watering.

"Planted 3 of these in the front yard. Sick and tired of the people walking through my yard and kicking my rocks. I asked the guys over at the nursery what I could do and they sold me these and few Ocotillo trees and some agaves. Gotta say, it's reduced the amount of people that want to try and venture through my property and destroy my front yard rocks. Guys did a good job when they planted, they were professional and quick."
