Popular Post Evil Genius Posted December 22, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) Hi guys, I´ll be giving away some free seeds to my SAB family members here! I´ll limit this giveaway to one type to reduce the the workload for labeling and packing. I´ll give away seed bags of my new Trichocereus pachanoi type from my shop on Trichocereus.net which you can see here. There will be another giveway with Trichocereus tulhuayacensis soon.It´s a beautiful type of Trichocereus that is very variable and can be totally spineless or very spiny. The seeds are fresh from 2015 and I´ll give away one bag per SAB family member. Everyone interested, please send me a pm with the title "Pachanoi giveaway" and your address, including the complete name and the country. I know that most are from Australia but I just want to make sure I dont accidentially send it to some missionaries in Yemen. Please write your address in a way that allows me to print the address on a printable sticker, so I can process this giveaway faster! With that I mean, just write it how you want it to be written on the letter and I´ll copy and paste that.I´ll label the seeds "Trichocereus pachanoi" and declare it as a "cactus seeds" and "gift". Which it is. I cannot use a different label, but it´s a permitted import and all the seeds I send are according to AQUIS and CITES. It´s very possible that seeds are opened, but that´s totally fine as they are perfectly labeled. Shipping can take up to 6-8 weeks because I´ll have to pack these in between processing my orders and doing EG-stuff. So expect 1-2 months delivery time. If nothing shows after that, just let me know and I´ll send you a replacement.So yeah, bring on the storm. Merry Christmas SAB! bye EG Edited December 22, 2015 by Evil Genius 34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysubtleascention Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) The seeds are not wild collected but from private culture plants in Peru. Hey EG.. still a lot to guess about the genes combined ..Hand pollination between favoured pachanoi parents? Open pollinated pachanoi plants in a garden in Peru?

Evil Genius Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) Hi guys! Open pollinated pachanoi plants in a garden in Peru?Those are hand pollinated and the parents are both from the same type / population from south Peru. It´s not an open pollination and some of the parents can be seen on the pic. That said, the seeds are from more than one seed pod, so it definitely is a mixed bag. But all plants involved are from the same type and that´s how pretty much all seeds coming from Peru are if they aren´t OP-ed.And just another word about the type. Those are somewhere between Tr. pachanoi and Tr. peruvianus. The plants may look spineless at older age, but they can in fact be very spiny and have a dark blue epidermis. This type is very variable and some young plants look more like peruvianus but show a rather typical pachanoi spination later on. This is important to me and I want everyone raising them to know that this is absolutely not what is currently understood as a pachanoi, but something in between. It´s the type of plants that end up causing arguments about what they are. Long spine pachanoi, short spine peruvianus, etc. You get what I´m saying. If I´d have to guess, I´d say that they are probably a bit closer to Tr. peruvianus than to Tr. pachanoi. But we shall see.Oh, and the are awesome. I´ve been trying to get some of those type for a long time, and I am really glad I ended up getting some that are actually fresh.

Evil Genius Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) Hi guys, just a short note to everyone who joined! It will take me weeks to respond to anybody who wrote but I´ll be shipping them out within the next week. Everyone who messaged me until today will get seeds. Again, this is a thanks to all my friends and this great community here. Would be great if you could post pics of the plants in the future. Alright, as of this moment, this giveaway is closed and I´ll start a new one with Tr. tulhuayacensis soon. Anyone who comes across this post too late can always message me and buy some in the shop. That said; everyone who once sent me seeds or plants can ALWAYS contact me and I´ll send sth over! I always remember my friends.

Evil Genius Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) Hey Guys, glad to hear some of them have finally arrived. I also got 2-3 letters back due to incomplete addresses but I´ll send those out again next week. As a surprise, I sent the Tr. tulhuayacensis seeds with every single letter that I sent. On top of the Pachanoi seeds! I only got those seeds 4-6 weeks ago, and I was not able to test them yet. And I wont stock it until I see germinations in my test containers or hear sth positive from you. Just in case those seeds have a shit germination rate, I just want to say in advance it does not represent what I sell in my shop. I test all my seeds before I sell them. So yeah, please test that Tr. tulhuayacensis seeds and let me know how it is. And apart from that I hope you´ll have fun growing them!
