Love the work of the blokes on ebay that show pictures of both parents, as opposed to the sellers who show single tricho pictures with their seed. 

 

Mad props

Can anyone confirm this claim? 

Extremely rare, Trichocereus hybrid 'Brutus', originating from collection of Lismore connoisseur and said to have been blessed by Terence McKenna on his tour down under in 1997, which took him through NNSW on a spoken word tour.

Was also wondering about the "brutus". Couldn't find anything with Google. Would be a cool addition to the collection if true.

thanks for the heads up sppoge, i saw that plant... no wonder he doesn't know "what it is worth"...

 

I was questioning the "around 15 years old" statement too...

It's a beutiful plant, I offered 250 when the ad went up last week.

messaged again this morning with a better offer in case the plant is still available.

good size to go in the ground.

i thought about it as well and did some research, big gamble for me i reckon the cold would knock the top off every year, or one year, $500 gone. in your location though spooge i reckon it's good to go.

I've a 30cm pachycereus pringeli, seed grown, that's lived here going on 2 years now.

Shes potted,  outside in the elements and has done fine through the winters so far, more spikey than this biggun is so I presume this big one will do fine here Micromegas, thanks for the reassurance but, be very sad to kill the plant.

i do have trouble with some forms of pilocereus and azurocereus hertlingianus sure don't like the hail we get here.

 

Thanks Nrivers, the plant would look very nice in your wonderful garden also.

i got her for 300 and some trade plants.

The person selling the plant has a cactus shop in a town bout 25 mins from where I am, some nice plants there, not many trichs but, lots of ornamentals and some nice pillars.
