Fruiting times depend upon the particular cactus. Some don't bear fruit at all. There's quite a bit of variability among those that do fruit. For example, the old man cactus [Espostoa melanostele] takes 15 years to bring forth pale yellow flowers and then yellow to red berries. Other cactus plants flower, fruit, and seed upon becoming a certain size, instead of a certain age. In the way of another example, the candy barrel cactus [Ferocactus wislizeni] bears lemon, orange or red bell or funnel shaped blooms, which are followed by small yellow berries, upon reaching a 12 inch/30 centimeter diameter.
