TheExplorer Posted July 14, 2011 I went to Hamiltons this afternoon and they had one available on the shelf for $80. It was larger than the ones that have been on ebay as well at ~30cm across the bottom. The lady there was also potting up another one when I was there, so they may have more available.

Evil Genius Posted July 14, 2011 Pachanoi/Peruvianus Crests of that size go on ebay germany for like 20 bucks max. I´ve bought a huge one for 50 bucks. Commercial growers are mass producing them and im sure that the Australia prices will soon drop too. Hundreds of bucks isnt a fair price though its a very cool and interesting clone. bye Eg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shroomeup Posted July 14, 2011 I won a decent sized hamiltons one for $26 a while back. I think I remember reading PD saying that that they showed cuzco characteristics after grafting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
