Six bridgesii
Two peruvianus
&
Six pachanoi

[Jesús Malverde]

Are those all San Pedros?

[Roots]

The six pachanoi are San Pedros......All 14 of them but the TBM are columnar, come from South America and somewhat look the same to an untrained eye.
Once it warms up and they go outside I’ll post a picture.

I ordered one of these today.....technically it can be used as medicine.

Trichocereus panchanoi variegated
Cactus species Trichocereus Panchanoi-variegated Crest Is a crested and variegated form of the species Trichocereus Panchanoi which unlike the true species form has interesting even intriguing dark green-yellow colored, twisting, crested type stem growth that can slowly grow up to 3' to 5' ft. if grown for many years, most of these variegated forms grow much slower than green crests and are often seen no larger than 18" to 2' ft. usually, due to the variegation or lack of chlorophyll on one side this variety is a very slow grower. This particular variegated T.P. crest usually only shows variegation on one side of its stem but not 100% of the time, more so the case in large specimens. Trichocereus Pachanoi -Crested is the crested form of the species, this variety is crested but also is variegated. Each individual crested plant is unique in its own shapes and twists, no two are alike.

This crested form of Trichocereus Pachanoi-variegated crest takes similar care as the un-crested true species, to see more details about care, fruit, flowers produced, native habitat etc. simply click the link below to see

if your into cacti be sure to get straight into grafting,
takes years off your accomplishments...

[Roots]

I’ve done some grafting, put a few Lophs on San Pedro in the past.....For ornamental plants I don’t like the looks of grafted cactus and for medicinal plants they grow too quick for alkaloid production.....On that variegated crest you posted in the picture above there is enough green to grow on its own roots but it will be much slower than a non variegated crest.

What I’m more into right now is grafting stone fruits and apple trees....I have two cherry trees with four types of cherries, a plout with four pluots, a mixed stone fruit with a peach, nectarine and apricot and a 4 in 1 apple.....next year after I prune them I’m going to add more if I can find some good spots to add to.

The label up there “PC” is probably the root stock used in 90% of these grafts....I don’t live in a place where I can grow a stand outside so even the rootstock can take time to grow....I can grow a good root stock called golden torch but those grafts even look dumber than the ones in the pic.

Not my pic.
