The name "barril amarillo" comes from how the plant looks as it is somewhat barrel shaped with an intense yellow color (Amarillo mean yellow in Spanish) it grows with a shorter stem or trunk below, with a rounder, fatter shape to its body but the same bold green bloom on top. This is a classic of the broad Agave karwinskii family.
