tripsis Posted December 24, 2021 I've been after this species for years now, I know it's out there somewhere? Does anyone have a cutting they could spare? I'd give my right arm for a piece! Something much like the below: https://cactilicious.com.au/cactus-trichocereus-rg-rg1-glaukus-tacaquirensis02/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Humboldt Posted December 26, 2021 Looks very similar to one i have 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Humboldt Posted January 1 Happy to send you a piece when ready @tripsis. Assuming that it is the specimen that your after? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Micromegas Posted January 8 did you sort it out tripsis? I reckon I can sort you out with a bit of "Jess"/"Gherkin", i dunno tacq/werd differentiation. Spines go fluffy with age at top. Can send a pic of the bit I have if you're keen, about 20cm, bit crooked coz it's growing out from under anothe branch... might have an abg werd floating around I'd have to check.

Sorry Micromegas, only just seen your message. What are those photos of? The first one looks similar to what I'm after, but perhaps not with the stout spines (which I feel would be closer to chiloensis). The second one - is that the same plant? Looks almost like a skinny pasacana. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Micromegas Posted January 24 Same plant, goes fuzzy on top. It's a Trichocereus taquimbalensis/ Echinopsis tacaquirensis subs. taquimbalensis. v.diff to chiloensis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tripsis Posted January 24 That makes sense. Beautiful plant, but really after the stout-spined tacaquirensis. What's the ABG werd look like? Never seen any photos of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This stout-spined tacaquirensis is an elusive plant! I'm quite surprised it's not a more popular / sort after species. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm quite surprised it's not a more popular / sort after species. I've got a tacaquirensis and it's super slow growing and prone to rot. Nursing it through it's early years and hopefully it'll be good once established. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tripsis Posted January 25 Fair point about the slow growth, probably at least part of the reason why it's not more common. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
