recent t. peruvianus huancabamba seedling grafts

[2XB]

HI all;

I thought I'd share some nice looking grafts I did recently with a t. peruvianus huancabamba seedling or two. I chopped em up and put them on cereus, super pedro and pc pach. I like the results at only a few months.

2 different cereus species too.. unsure what they are

I remember now, it was one seedling, the one in front of frangapanni leaf is the tip, the other 3 were the shaft split 3 ways. Pic2 and last pic are the same plant.

Plus a couple months

Here are my own seed grown T. peruvianus Huancabamba from Mesa Garden. Seems to be a bit of variation in it, or at least the seed I got.

Huancabamba is one of my favorite Trichos! Gotta check out the MG catalogue to see if they still have some in stock. Don´t know any sources of this type.

Succseed has it as peruvianus huancabamba. I havnt had any luck looking for short spines with Mesa and SS, I get long spines, and cusco looks from them. I recently germinated some sucseed and believe will get short spines.This pic was posted by AZS

Here's a couple of Succseed Huancabamba's I planted in my yard last year. They are doing OK in the Phoenix summer sun in spite of

daytime temps over 115F. I water them 2 or more times per week and spray them occasionally when it's this hot.

Beautiful cacti Michael, love the second shot. :-). Thanks for the input. As well as the grafts I have several that I let grow naturally around the 200mm mark. They are all showing pretty similar form with slight variation in spine length. Such a lovely cactus :-)

Beautiful specimens man :-) thanks for sharing.

I'd love to see more if anyone's got them.

Michael do you have any shots of yours full length?? Love to see the base spineage

I've had copious amounts of rain here for weeks and temps that had reached 90 only once, mostly upper 70s and lower 80s, and my plants look so incredibly healthy and happy with it. If I was in Phoenix (I went to high school in Mesa) I would probably water my Trichocereus at least once a day.

As for viewing the base spines, well these are all relatively recent clippings and show no difference at the base.

Here's a pic of two others showing slightly larger spines. The seedling batch showed only slight variations in spine length. These are two of the longest spined specimens.

Gotta say it again. One of my favorite types. Very nice plants! I guess they are more capable to deal with humidity because it´s so close to Ecuador. The plants remind me a lot about the Ecuadorian San Pedros.
