You may remember me posting some pictures of a suspected T. macro a couple of months ago. (see attached photos below), there were 2 plants with 10 huge trunks, the tallest was about 3m high. anyway Today i went to visit the house to ask for some cuttings. My heart sank when i saw that they had been cut down. I was upset that i couldn't get any nice big tip cuttings. But I rang the doorbell and spoke to the owner/renter and she said they cut off the trunks and still had them in the yard! there was a slight catch, they had tried to burn them there were lots of big thich branches left that were still green but they all had lots of patches of rot. So i wiped off big chunks of slimy cactus booger and loaded up the car with it all. I cut out the rot out with a knife and a spoon, taking big chunks out of some pieces. there was rot all the way to the core in places. So have loads of logs ranging in size from 10cm to 1.5m but now i need some advice should i cut the bigger sections down to a smaller easy to handle bits, or do i leave them big so cutting will be availible in a few weeks when they have caluosed off, and there is no sign of rot

errr, TBM on ebay. man I ripped myself off

oops have I inadvertently trolled? good luck to him though. I mean if he can actually sell at that price, well...

I've just pulled out some 3 year old hop rhizomes. One very big goldings and one smaller piece, (only about a meter), And big coloumbus. I harvested around 1 1/2 shopping bags of hops off each bine only a month or so ago. Asking $35 for the big golding, $30 for the coloumbus and $10 for the small goldings. I can post photos if anyone is interested.

gloves are good but they don't stop all the spines. I wrap the cactus in crumpled newspaper, packing more around stems/joins, then wrap more newspaper and into the box. copped a big splinter in the finger last time about 8mm. That was painful. I use a towel to move the big cactus around, especially usefull when they weigh a few kilo's

Glad the bogan made it over to you Eluna. I pack them the way I want to recieve them oh and if anyone knows how to reduce the amount of spiking incidents while handling cactus let me know.

Licence to grow hops.... never heard of that before.

ballzac, the colder over winter the better, well maybe if it get down to -20'c then you might have a problem. hops like cold winters and hot summers. The derwent valley where they grow them down here gets very heavy frosts during the winter and over the summer its hot and dry. They produce pretty much ALL of australias hops. oh and the bines die back every year. cut the stems off at or above ground, if there are some shoots cut just above them. psylo. thats very odd 3rd year it should be producing bags loads of flowers. the ones for sale here produced about 2 shopping bags full season past. It won't do much harm to dig them up to have a look at them to see if there is no rot. if your mates area doesn't get too cold put them in the fridge over winter. Dug

Just for you E.G. The two big ones are more like trunks than rhizomes. they have fat roots that are full of starchy goodness, (don't taste of anything though). big goldings little goldings, you can see the shoots near the roots. You can plant a very small section,(10cm), and still get a plant. mind you bigger the cutting the bigger the plant and more hops you'll get. Coloumbus

bump... anyone interested? willing to take offers.

Its been ages since I've been on the forum and well things are changing so I need to clear out a few cactus. All have been in pots for a few years now so they might be a bit root bound. Some of these plants are quite big and heavy, (those fat bogans ), so postage will be expensive, well maybe not it was only $16.40 for one of the big bogans. They will all be sent with clean bare roots, and I will take my care when packing them so the side shoots don't break off. Any questions just ask. I will add more cactus when I get a chance to. More added 13/4. #1 T.bridgesii "UT" 25cm $23 #2 T.bridgesii "UT" 19cm $17 #3 T.bridgesii "UT" 10cm main with 8 & 10cm side shoots $20 #4 T.bridgesii "UT" 12cm main 10cm shoots $20 spoken for #5 T.bridgesii "UT" 25 & 24cm $40 #6 T.bridgesii seed grown not sure varity 24cm $20 #7 T.bridgesii "UT" a little messed up from slug/snails at an early age 5cm $2 bye bye #8 T.bridgesii "eileen" 27cm $27 #9 T. macro "bogan" 18cm & 19cm stems $27 doing a deal #10 T. macro "bogan" 16cm main 8cm shoot $20 #11 T. macro "bogan" 20cm main 6cm shoot $20 #12 T. macro "bogan" 25cm main 15 & 20 shoots $30 #13 T. macro "bogan" 19cm main 16 & 23 shoots $30 #14 T. macro "bogan" 25cm main 40cm shoot $35 on hold #15 T. macro "bogan" 17cm main 22 & 23cm shoots $35 #16 T. macro "bogan" 62cm $40 bye big girl #17 T. macro "bogan" 30cm main 37 & 35cm shoots $40 SOLD #18 #19 T. macro "bogan" 69, 61 & 80cm main stems 7,16,15cm shoots on one stem. $120 This is a big mother of a plant so pickup only.

ring Quarantine tasmania, they'll be able to tell you exactly what to do. Most likely you'll have to do is remove all the soil

Just wondering How everyone's bogan cactus are going? Mine are going well, even the smallest (ex)rotted cutting sprouted roots and are growing. Post pics if you have 'em, I'll put some on when the sun is out btw Its been a long time since I've been on the forum, I'm glad to see its still going well. DuG

driving on salvia don't know if this is a repost but it gold

Photo taken today

Try here bogan The bogans are mostly on the right hand side of the pics.

Its been a long time since my last time on here. Good to see there are more tassie people hanging round! anyway, went for a walk with the dog today and found a few brand new patches! I will get out the camera tomorrow, maybe ;) keep your eyes on the ground guys and girls!

went for a walk today and met up with an old friend of mine. Guess she liked the weather.

I've had some cuttings that have taken up to 2 years to send out roots. and other in exactly the smae condidtions take only a couple of weeks! Actually I have some cuttings that have spent the past two years in the ground and haven't grown roots yet!
