0 M S Smith Posted November 3, 2012 Thankfully not a T. cuzcoensis. Looks like a proper sort of T. peruvianus to me. ~Michael~ 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Getafix Posted November 3, 2012 Awesome specimen. That's a pretty lucky find at a Bunnings. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. I have shopped at this Bunnings many times and always have a quick look at the cacti section but first time I have seen anything like this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Sallubrious Posted November 3, 2012 How much did it cost ? I've never seen a Trich that big at my local bunnings, I did see one about 2/3 of the size but they had it inside in full shade and it was etiolated from the torture. I think they had $60 on the one I saw. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 GoOnThen Posted November 3, 2012 Great looking plant I am with Michael on the ID defiantly don't look like a cuzco It is a beast for a bunnings plant the closest we get to any thing like that over here is the 6 inch scop's Cheers Got 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they had $60 on the one I saw. Yeah it is super fat, can't join 2 hands around it. I paid $59.00 for it. Not cheap but I was reasonably sure it was a beautiful Peru and for the size of it thought worth paying $60 for it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 TheExplorer Posted November 3, 2012 That's a nice find for Bunnings. The only Trichos they have at my local Bunnings are small seedlings. I sometimes check in at Hamiltons (where a lot of Bunnings stock comes from) and I've only ever found a nice mature one like that once. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
