Benzito Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) So, I had some Trichs at my mum's place for about 4 years being somewhat neglected. They got pot bound and they got some calloused spots from bumping into each other, etc, but they grew freakin huge. She moved house a couple of months ago and I had to cut them all up to move them. I had grand visions of setting up a cactus plantation of my apartment balcony, but it's just not feasible. These cacti need some TLC, so I'm selling them cheap. I was tempted to put them on gumtree or ebay or something, but I would rather they go to some ethnoheads who will bring them back to their former glory. You can pick them up from me in Western Sydney, or I can ship them to you with a courier(I get good rates through my work) at your cost. First on the list is T. Bridgesii cuttings. 7 of them in total, 35-45cm each, 2-2½" diameter, 3 growing tips, 4 middle sections. $15 each o.b.o. ***SOLD*** Edited September 2, 2013 by Benzito Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rum and Monkeys Posted August 14, 2013 And the others? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benzito Posted August 14, 2013 Next up on the list is a T. Peruvianus I had to cut in half. 3" diameter, bottom half is 45cm(not including roots), top half is 40cm. $20 each o.b.o. I should also mention I'm pretty sure these ID's are all correct. These are plants that came from either SAB or Herbalistics, and that is what they were sold to me as. Everything for sale here is totally calloused up and some sections are even growing roots/pups. They are ready to go in the ground people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benzito Posted August 14, 2013 And the others? They're coming. This is a live feed my friend. An organic process, unfolding right before your eyes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rum and Monkeys Posted August 14, 2013 WoooO! lol, I will go back to back row and wait Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benzito Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Yes, if you please all take your seats this will flow much more smoothly. Got some Pachanoi pieces here, now before you click the thumbnail, remember I said some of these needed TLC. These are some sad examples of cactus. They did have black spot when first cut up, but they are thoroughly dried out now and quite firm. If anyone does have problems with any of these cuttings, I will be happy to issue refunds. They may look ugly, but they are quite healthy, and I know they will be fine. These pieces are 2" diameter, 28cm & 33cm. $10 each o.b.o. ***top piece, with pup SOLD*** Edited August 18, 2013 by Benzito Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rum and Monkeys Posted August 14, 2013 Put the Pach with the pup away for me, I will PM once all is posted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benzito Posted August 14, 2013 Cereus Peruvianus. I don't expect anyone to want these, but you never know. Probably not worth sending on a courier, but if you're local and can pick them up they might interest you. 4" diameter, 40cm lengths, too friggin many of them. $5 each o.b.o.

Benzito Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Alright, shit's about to get real people. Now we're getting into the big boys.Monstrose T. Bridgesii, or the 'penis cactus' as you lay people may know it.The box this is in is 55cm x 30cm x 30cm and it pretty much fills it! Seriously, this thing is huge. I can't do it justice in a photo.$70 o.b.o.(For ease of identification/ordering, we will refer to this as Penis A) ***SOLD*** Edited August 16, 2013 by Benzito 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benzito Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Next is Penis B. This one is about 45cm tall(not including roots), 20cm wide and around 4" diameter on the base piece. $30 o.b.o. ***SOLD*** Edited August 16, 2013 by Benzito Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benzito Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Penis C. Which was actually the top section of 'A' originally, so has no roots. This one is about 35cm x 20cm x 3" diameter at the base. $30 o.b.o. ***SOLD*** Edited August 16, 2013 by Benzito Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benzito Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Penis D. I forgot that 'A' actually had two top branching sections, this is the other one!40cm x 15cm x 2" diameter at base. Again, no roots on this sucker.$30 o.b.o. ***SOLD*** Edited August 16, 2013 by Benzito 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benzito Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Sorry for the delay, I had to eat some dinner. Hauling all these cacti around the apartment was making me hungry. Remember all those Bridge pieces in my first post? Well this is the base they were growing from. The 3 stem pieces are about 30cm x 2" diameter each, and the root ball is about 9-10" round. Poor thing really needed repotting. $45 o.b.o. Edited August 14, 2013 by Benzito Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benzito Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) And now the moment you have all been waiting for! The crowning piece of my collection! I'll need my beautiful assistant, Kate, to provide some uhh assistance. This Scop had to be cut in half to fit in my car. I didn't mind so much, cutting up the rest of the collection, but sawing through this bad boy brought a tear to my eye. I really wanted to keep it for myself and have an 8' tall cactus on my balcony but I realised it would just be impractical in a 3rd floor apartment. The bottom half is 80cm(not including roots) x 4½" diameter. $50 o.b.o. ***SOLD*** The top half is 90cm x 5" diameter. $70 o.b.o. ***SOLD*** Thankyou everyone for your patience, that is everything I've got for sale at the moment. Please PM me for details or to arrange a purchase. Anyone who picks up will get a special gift that can't be sent on a courier service. -Benzito Edited August 23, 2013 by Benzito 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benzito Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) Whoa, frenzy of bids here! I'm jus going through my messages and working out what is sold and what isn't. I'll update the thread in a second. It's first in, best dressed, so I'm just going off message times. Andy and Naja, thanks for the kind words guys. It's nice to hear from you two again. Being on here brings back so many good memories. **UPDATE** Okay, at the moment, this is what is/isn't available: Bridge cuttings: all spoken for Peru: still available Pach: still available (Rum & Monkeys, PM me if you still want that piece) Cereus P: still available (of course) TBMs: all spoken for Bridge rooted base: still available Scop: bottom spoken for, top half still available I have kept a list of who PM'd about what, in order of their message times, so it will just go to the next person who asked if a sale falls through. I will also update this list if anything gets sold or becomes available. Thanks for the great responses people. Edited August 15, 2013 by Benzito Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naja naja Posted August 15, 2013 make sure ur not a stranger bro, even if u can't actively grow ur ethno's doesn't stop u from researching them for when u can grow them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benzito Posted August 15, 2013 Thanks Naja. I've still got some shits growing here, don't you worry about that. These just aren't practical to keep because they are big, and multiples of what I already have. Sadly, I kind of forgot more about ethnobotany than I ever learnt thanks to alcohol and weed, but I'm past that now(after far too long) and feeling very clear headed. I have been lurking on here, but don't have much to contribute these days. All these young fellas know more than me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benzito Posted August 16, 2013 I've updated the original posts to show what has been sold. The Peruvianus, Pachanoi, and Bridgesii rooted base piece are all still available. As well as the top half of the Scop. How can you not want a Scop club? It would be great for self defence! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
