Pacha Posted May 6, 2011 If anyone wants a cutting please PM me, this collection is more than 40 year old, all seed raised by a collector which is long dead and the son wants to sell all of his cacti, there are many other interesting plants there, problem is how to handle them, they are HUGE..: Ferocactus horridus f. brevispina Stenocereus? Any ID on the magnificent crest? Trichocereus peruvianoid, any positive ID? Stetsonia coryne forming a crest on one sterm Stenocereus? Arrojadoa aureispina? Any ID on this would be very helpful Cereus monstrous Needs ID Trichocereus pasacana? Trichocereus taquimbelensis or is it not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bit Posted May 7, 2011 Wow, what a mad collection. Very impressed by the taquimbelensis, i had no idea what their mature adult growth was like Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hellonasty Posted May 7, 2011 Nice looking plants there. Last one looks like a T.Chiloensis to my untrained eye ;) I believe that crest which needs the id is Carnegiea Gigantea what a beauty, I would snap that up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PD. Posted May 7, 2011 Youll need a shovel, some hessian bags, a trailer, a few mates and lots of beer. Get em all pacha, you will find room to store it all even if its all cuttings. The variegated arm on the pachanoid plant is very nice! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Im assuming its O/S though?) Sorry guys but that's far from Australia, it's too bad most plants will probably get destroyed since no one is interested in cacti in my country.

Pacha Posted May 7, 2011 I am from Israel, shipping these huge columns overseas will be costly. This is not my collection, the guy who collected it is long gone and his son wants to sell everything or sadly demolish it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hutch Posted May 8, 2011 OMFG......what a shame it has to come out....one old mans legacy...reminds me of this "For not a child would claim the gift he had" so sad....wish it was on Aus soil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bℓσωηG Posted May 8, 2011 Pacha take a cutting from each plant and some seed from the ferocactus , at least you'll be saving the genetics... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dude Posted May 8, 2011 Who would want to get rid of all that? Couldn't he make money selling individual cuttings over the years? I mean that's a nice investment, to have them destroyed is a tragedy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
