    Hey all,

     

    So the debut LP has just come out from my Sacred Alchemy project, its on my own record label Sonic Alchemy... I thought y'all would appreciate having a listen, the LP draws a lot of inspiration from our plant allies, travel and living with indigenous peoples all over the world. It is journey and healing music, yet its banging outdoor festival dancefloor orientated... I won't go in to too much detail, but the work took avery long time to get all the recordings from Australia, the Amazon, the Himalayas, and the middle east. The first track is in Djabuguay language, of far north QLD and I was honoured to get the opportunity to record men in corroboree and their sacred songs...

    the best fruits ("tuna" in spanish) that i've come across are robusta, torrence and cow's tongue (engelmannii). I've heard that the absolutely best is the Burbank's eating one, its a spiny bugger - not the spineless, but i haven't yet tried it... hopefully it'll fruit this season...  

     

    Also, the ficus indicus has decent fruits, huge pads, and is relatively common... but the fruits aren't in the same league as the one's i first mentioned...

    I’ve got a huge pach monstrose up for grabs. Growing on own roots, but only has about 2 months worth of roots. $120 plus $25 for postage. First in. Payment needs to be done in 3 days or I’ll offer it to the next in line.

    cheers,

    mg

     

    p.s this plant was on eBay a month back but was never paid for,  so order was cancelled...

    I would suggest tracking down the most northern varieties as they are generally regarded as the most ethnobotanically interesting. Big Bend, to my knowledge, is the most northern locality. And the northern forms are self pollinating. Also, when you say 'varieties', you mean localities of williamsii? or are you meaning species (fricii, willi. etc)? I know I have seen a detailed map on SAB somewhere years ago...

    I also like Cereus as a stock, I've had lophs do well on them, and 4 years later still growing.

    The problem with cereus is that cuts take forever to root.

    Hey Glauc, any chance on some pics? I had probably a dozen lophs on huge cereus that just didn't seem to go anywhere in the last several months so i just assumed that they didn't work real well... Maybe if you have had good results I should try again... Its by far the best stock up here in the tropics. Oh, the other downside to cereus is that it is much more susceptible to scale, if it wasn't for the cereus i don't think i would see it in my gardens...

    wow Z, 30 years on a stock. thats amazing...

     

    I really like cereus for trichos. Nothing grows faster or hardier for me. Its about 4 times the speed of trichs as stock. Downside is that i haven't had lophs grow on cereus even when the union is perfect...

    yeah, i think its an insect getting into the new growth. does the older leaves have the same issue, or just the new growth? Try eco-neem or some other water soluble neem oil... Leave the plants in the shade for a day after applying...
