Barrel cactus are the classic desert denizens of lore. There are a number of barrel cactus varieties within two genus types, the Echinocactus and the Ferrocactus. The Echinocactus has a fuzzy crown of fine spines, while the Ferrocactus are ferociously thorned.
Barrel Cactus: The Barrel cactus usually grows along desert washes, gravely slopes and beneath desert canyon walls in all of the hot desert of North America from the Mojave, Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts of southern California, southern Arizona west to Texas and south into Baja, California and central Mexico.rgan Pipe Cactus: The Organ Pipe Cactus is found in a small area of the Sonoran Desert only from southwestern Arizona to western Sonora, Mexico. It is found on south facing, hot, sunny slopes. The Organ Pipe Cactus is able to survive in the desert because its tall trunk stores water for droughts.
