Tom White's new friend is 91" = 7.6 feet = 2.30 m tall, since he is 69" tall. If this barrel grew at 1 cm / year, similar to the documented growth in Deep Canyon, this barrel cactus is 230 years old.

tchesterDescripción
This is my first observation of this plant. This is the only plant of this species in the Arroyo Salado anywhere near this location. This species normally grows in more rocky, steep areas to the north of this location.
Follow-up observations:
Three months later it was covered by insects:

Ten years later:

Alas, 14 years later it appears to be dead:

But in the desert, plants can appear to be dead and then resprout from their roots.
