hostilis Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) So koehres has some Trichocereus scopulicola seeds. Have any of you grown these out? I'm not sure how long they've been listed. I do remember looking for them several times and not finding them. I hope they're legit because I ordered 1000 of them! I will update with pics once they're germinated. Going to graft one or two and see if they're legit (virtually) spineless scopulicola. Oh yeah, here's the link: http://www.koehres-kaktus.de/shop/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=trichocereus+scopulicola&categorie_id=0&x=0&y=0 Edited November 30, 2014 by hostilis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice Posted December 1, 2014 thanks! yes Scop seed has been hard to get in the last few years. I like Koehres, its a pleasure to deal with real professionals. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caudata Posted December 1, 2014 I ordered 200 and plan on sowing them soon. Someone on the fb page reported really good germ rates on these a couple of weeks ago. SS is also offering scopulicola seeds right now, but theyre a lot more expensive. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zelly Posted December 1, 2014 Köhres Scop Seed is very fresh and pure! Just asked them about them! does this mean scopulicola is self fertile? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halcyon Daze Posted December 1, 2014 A mate of mine has just crossed 2 different spineless scops and the fruit is forming. One parent is fat, the other is super fat. There should be plenty seed to go round in a few weeks. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caudata Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) Yes, I believe scops may be self fertile. I got some seed from a guy in Germany who confirmed he had no other trichs blooming at the time Edited December 6, 2014 by Ohlone 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hostilis Posted December 1, 2014 Haclon Daze, would you please contact me when those seeds are available? I thought all trichs were self sterile? And zelly, there's a few different spineless scop clones floating around I believe. I was just talking about this with somebody over at STS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manic Posted December 2, 2014 I have recently seen heaps of scops for sale in at bunnings and saw a couple dozen in at a kmart a couple of weeks ago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zed240 Posted December 2, 2014 Yes, I believe scops are self fertile. I got some seed from a guy in Germany who confirmed he had no other trichs blooming that season The ones I own that have flowered don't seem to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hostilis Posted December 2, 2014 I wish they sold spineless scops in stores here in the US. I have so much trouble finding legit spineless ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
franky Posted December 2, 2014 Collecters corner/ paradisia always had heaps of scop seedlings available down in vic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philocacti Posted December 2, 2014 Yes, I believe scops are self fertile. I got some seed from a guy in Germany who confirmed he had no other trichs blooming that season Maybe some bat/moth carried pollen from another tricho nearby and pollinated it?

Philocacti Posted December 2, 2014 I thought I read that scoplicola has no records in the wild But I got a few trichocereus species from koehres that weren't as list, so now I want to order a pack to see how it will grow to be 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caudata Posted December 2, 2014 Hmmm, wild collected? Maybe these turn out as some nearly spineless pach. Anything but cuzcos again, koehres :/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caudata Posted December 2, 2014 Naw, I think Ben usually notes when it's an open pollination. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hostilis Posted December 2, 2014 Kinda wishing I didn't get 1000 of those Koehres T. scopulicola now. Seems like they really have no clue if the seed is pure. Maybe I'll order some of the SS seeds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zelly Posted December 2, 2014 I hope they're legit because I ordered 1000 of them! Köhres Scop Seed is very fresh and pure! Yes, I believe scops are self fertile. they are wild collected We can rely on our supplier,I already contacted him,maybe he got some plants in his garden,I don't know "Our Trichocereus bloom profusely every year. This has gifted us the opportunity to experiment with hybridizing by hand pollination.The following seed is the result." so from fresh & pure to maybe collected from the guys garden, who really knows? and if scops are so supposedly self fertile, and Ben knowing pure strain scop seeds are so highly demanded, dotcha think he would have selfed his scop many times over? a few pics aimed at hostilis..... scop open pollinated (last yrs seeds) does one look variegated? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hostilis Posted December 3, 2014 I ordered some scop hybrids from you recently zelly, but I am realy wanting to find some pure spineless scop seeds. Haclone daze's seeds sound like the best bet so far. Even if I could find 10-20 pure bred spineless scop seeds I'd be super happy. I just want to get a couple more clones of spineless scop floating around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zelly Posted December 3, 2014 raining big time here atm, but in a day or so I'll post up pics of several scop x huancabamba seedings I've got growing that are spineless, or very near spineless. Biggest is around a meter tall, very scopish looking and a very tiny yet maturing fruit of scop x huarazensis should surely result in fat scop looking spineless plants as well hopefully HD's friend has taken pics of his two scops flowering & mating and can share them with us 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
