Amazing. What size is this cactus ?

Terratoonie,
Probably about 3 feet/1 meter tall and close to that wide.

Wow. :o)
I guess this is quite an old cactus ?
Took a long while to grow to that size ?

I think this Barrel Cactus grow moderately fast. I have seen larger ones in the desert. This cactus is not like the Saguaro cactus of the S.W. Desert..which only grow about 3 to 4 inches a year. Large Saguaro are very old.
I'm not sure how old these Cacti are though.

I imagined all Cacti grew at the same rate.
Thank you. I learn so much from your photos and comments. :o)
