What is your fastest growing Trichocereus?

[zelly]

My fastest growing Tricho is a variegated TBM grafted to a pereskiopsis

Isnt that cheating? Would love to see it though, any pics?

I'd have to agree with Bluntmuffin, my pachanoi grows really fast here. Have it in a few different locations but that doesn't seem to matter.

Even some I have in pots outgrow my bridgesii, spachianus and cereus that all grow reasonably quickly as well.

It may be because I got quite a few pach's from a nearby enthusiast that has probably used generations of seed grown to acclimatise them to this area.

I have a fairly high clay content but that doesn't seem to phase them.

Since the thread title didn't specify non-grafted trichs, how is grafted trichs cheating?

As for pics.....

^^^

whatever the case, I don't believe it's the fastest growing tricho in your collection. I am sure it was just a shameless excuse to show off your ugly , sick and lacking own roots TBM.

Bump*

[interbeing]

This pachanoi along with psycho0 and yowie are my fastest growers

[mac]

Thought Id update on my terscheckiiXpsycho0 =]

This picture was taken a week or 2 ago and its already grown a few cm bigger!

My fastest growing was a T. pachanoi.. it was the genetics of my very first Trich given to me by an old punk dude in my hort class years back. The type of really nice blue tinged strain that you often see in T. pachanoi's. Once it got a root system developed on it boomed - nice 8-9cm width and saw it throw half a meter on it's arms in a year in a pot without breaking a sweat.

Norma, easily.

[mutant]

not the peruvianus

the kk339 is one of the fastest

ozzie omar [pachanoi] is fast too

not sure about the bridgesii's though...

Tig is a killer. and some seed-sown ones are very fast too

Great thread!.

For me its definitely nitrogens psycho0 X cuzco, it can easyly do 50+ cm per season in right conditions. Hardware store bridgesii is a close second, but only by lenght (~40 cm), p0 X cuzco is one fat and heavy beast!

[Strontium Dawg]

I put hb04 (pachxbridge) up there, I got a tiny cut maybe 5cm in march, it's now close to 50cm, and it took around a month to take root. That's 7.5 cm a month through the cold months, and it's really picking up the pace now it's warm. I'm expecting at least 2 feet in its first year.

^^ yeah they're quickies alright, although a snail chewed the top off mine so it pupped but they got to two 15-20cm pups plus another 5cm one or so

either that or this "spineless" bridges i have put on 30+cm + a 10cm pup in a season in a pot which isn't too bad i don't think

then psycho0 i got off interbeing put out two 20cm pups in half a season, which is odd because i have another psycho0 clone that only put on 10cm or so in a whole season

Well after a lot of my seedlings got established, this bridgesioid got to be the fastest in my collection so far. It's mid-season now and the bigger limb has grown 36 cm (14 inches), while the smaller on has grown 32 cm (12.5 inches). Most of the other juveniles and adults have grown an average of 15-20 cm.
