golden barrel cactus

Question

I live in SW Kansas. I have a golden barrel approximately 35 years old and it has always been in a pot. It has become too large for me to move outside, but can I plant it in the ground without it freezing in the winter? Thank you.

Answer 1

Golden Barrel Cactus is hardy in zones 9-11. It would not be hardy outdoors in your growing zone.

Perhaps you could donate the Cactus to a business or Library that may have a larger space for the plant.
