prier Posted April 21, 2007 Short spine peruvianus is available here, I have a couple of little ones. Although I'm not sure if it's the same cactus as MS Smith calls short spine peruvianus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strangebrew Posted April 21, 2007 So were these all salvaged from your glasshouse mishap Osprey? Your lumberjackus is the most normal looking one I've seen a pic of, it looks just like a fat bridgesoid. What's the width of it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gusto Posted April 21, 2007 Not sure I would have recognized that Lumberjack clone either. Its spine development seems particularly variable depending on environment. Mine haven't settled in well enough to get a good feel for em yet, but the original cuttings from full California sun had very heavy spines. If that 'HD' peruv is the one I'm thinking of, it's proven completely non-bitter for me. A bit of a surprise, as it looks like a fair candidate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Osprey Posted April 21, 2007 That was a bad picture of lumberjackus.It's still pretty much dormant,so the colors haven't come out yet. I watched JRL cut this off a big plant a few years ago,so I'm totally sure it's the real deal. here's some more pictures of the lumberjackus and 2 more HD plants. I never checked them for bitterness Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Osprey Posted May 17, 2007 (edited) Here's a comparison of two cuttings of the same clone(lumberjackus)grown under different conditions. I just got the one on the left.It's been grown in harsh hot California conditions.Rootbound in full sun on a concrete patio. the one on the right came from the same place a few years ago,same exact clone,but with lot's of root room,since then.feeding during growth,and less intense sun in the pacific northwest. when I got it,it looked just like the other one. I find it really interesting how these plants change with their environment. In some ways,the one on the right probably looks more"unnatural"than the other 'hard grown"one that hasn't been pampered. it would be interesting to grow some plants trying to simulate natural growing conditions,soil composition,etc. by the way,to the guy who traded me this new jackus,all I have to say is MANY THANKS!! She's a beaut! Edited May 17, 2007 by Osprey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neonaut Posted May 17, 2007 (edited) Such lovely growth on the plant you have been growing Osprey. Hope she loves her new home;) Much fatter in diameter and greener than the new growth on mine. Here are some comparison pics, these are over a year long period of growth. Not much dormancy here in Northern California. Summer 2006 Feb 11, 2007 Tip Pup April 10,2007 Same pup from 4th pic.
