The plants we grew from those seeds looked 100% like a plant from the Tr. taquimbalensis group and it´s a common thing that plants related to Trichocereus taquimbalensis are labeled as Trichocereus validus. That is because Trichocereus validus probably came from Bolivia and both are probably very similar at an older age. At a younger age, that is definitely not the case.

Trichocereus Parque de las Leyendas. Peru

Trichocereus in Parque de las Leyendas. Peru

Trichocereus Parque de las Leyendas:

The Parque de las Leyendas is located in the San Miguel district of Lima and was founded as the first Zoo of Peru. Peru is one of the most biologically diverse countries in the world and the park is home to countless amazing plants and creatures, including some interesting Trichocereus species.

There are many cool Trichocereus in the Parque de las Leyendas in Peru. Ben Kamm and his friends from Sacredsucculents.com visited the park during various field trips, collected some seeds and made some photos. Here are some of the pics:

Another Trichocereus Pachanoi from the PARQUE DE LAS LEYENDAS in Lima Peru! Same Location, different Plant.





And this is a plant that was grown from the Sacred Succulents Field Trip seed. Copyright: Stillman.

The very long spines are really interesting because they are nothing like the almost spineless appearance of the mother plant. Nonetheless, it´s actually quite common for old plants to be pretty spineless. It´s also interesting because the plant has very few ribs and a large distance between the areoles.



Where to buy seeds or plants of the BK08611.5?: Well, the plant was visited during a field trip and Sacred Succulents sold seeds coming from that plant for a while. So far, the plant shown in the picture above is the only plant I saw so far and it´s definitely very spiny if you compare it with the almost spineless mother plant. Every now and then, someone (mostly from the USA & Australia) is giving away a cutting of this type in our Trichocereus Facebook group, because there were quite a few people who were able to get their hands on seeds. If you are looking for this type, I´d recommend you to send a message to Sacredsucculents.com, because it´s possible they still have some available. Apart from that, you need a lot of luck to find one of them on the open market. But even if you shouldn’t manage to get one, you can get a Trichocereus cordobensis/Super Pedro, which is a very similar type that´s known from Australia. I sometimes have seeds available and if you are interested in getting some, let me know.

BK08611.6 Trichocereus pachanoi, Jardin Botanico, Parque de las Leyendas, Lima, Peru

As far as I know, Ben also visited those Trichocereus pachanois during the 2014 Field Trip! So in case you bought some Pachanoi seeds starting with BK14, it´s very possible those are the mother plants!

Trichocereus tarmaensis

Trichocereus tarmaensis Rauh & Backeberg – Deser. Cact. Nov. 20. 1956

Trichocereus tarmaensis is not an accepted species. It was described, but the whole species wasn´t really good to begin with due to the close relationship to Trichocereus cuzcoensis and other species like Tr. ...

Chavín de Huántar: Trichocereus

Chavín de Huántar: Trichocereus 

Chavín de Huántar is an archaeological site in Peru with a long history of Trichocereus & San Pedro cultivation. There are plants that can be found within the ruins of Chavin and those plants probably go back for many thousands of years. The ruins are thought to be from 1200BC and the age of this complex is energically discussed among archaeologists.

Chavin is located in the Ancash area and holds great religious as well as historic significance, which is why the center was in the midst of the Chavin culture. Chavín de Huántar is located near the important Peruvian city Lima and lies at the confluence of two large rivers: The Rio Mosnar and the Huanchecsa river. Chavin has a great botanic variety and is home to a large number of different plants and Trichocereus species.

Trichocereus sp, Chavin, Ancash, Peru 

The type that is usually known from Chavin De Huantar is probably somewhere between Trichocereus cuzcoensis and Trichocereus peruvianus. We saw plants that clearly belonged into the San Pedro & Trichocereus pachanoi group as well as other weird plants…some of which even look like Trichocereus huanucoensis.

Trichocereus bridgesii in Bolivia

Trichocereus bridgesii is probably THE dominant Trichocereus species in Bolivia. Yes, there are others but this species pretty much reflects the Bolivian counterpart of the Peruvian San Pedro cactus. The populations usually get up to 4-5 meters tall and form large groups. This plant is probably one of the most drought resistant Trichocereus species, which it manages to survive even the extreme temperatures in the Bolivian desert.

The Californian Nursery Sacredsucculents.com visited some regional populations of Trichocereus bridgesii in their Field Trips and I am extremely glad to have them here on the website. All photos are from Ben Kamm.


You can read the full version of this article on our page. It includes lots of photos:

BK08603.3 Trichocereus bridgesii & BK08603.2 Prosopis alba, Huachjilla

This plant is very similar to the ones labeled Trichocereus aff. pachanoi. You can definitely see why so many people say that Trichocereus pachanoi grows in Bolivia too. They are extremely similar and it takes a lot of time and effort to differentiate them. The plant grows beside Prosopis Alba!

BK08608.2 Trichocereus bridgesii, mutant Achuma, NE La Paz, Bolivia

Another plant from the Sacred Succulents Field Trip 2008. A mutated version of an Achuma cactus that is just mindblowing. This is the type of thing that you can only encounter in nature. Those amazing walls of cactus are probably some of the most impressive sights that you can come across.

BK08608.3 Trichocereus bridgesii,NE La Paz, Bolivia

It comes from the same site as the BK08608.2 Trichocereus bridgesii, but from a different Plant! The BK08 means that it was visited by Ben Kamm in 2008. The later numbers are either labeled BK09 or BK10. There also were some plants that were visited during the 2014 Field Trip, which were labeled BK14. Those plants are dark green and very similar to what is understood as San Pedro. The flowers are covered with white hairs, which is a great way to keep it apart from most of the Peruvian San Pedros.

Does Echinopsis pachanoi grow in Bolivia?

Does Echinopsis pachanoi grow in Bolivia?

There are many mentions of Echinopsis pachanoi cactus in Bolivia. But much unlike popular belief, most of those plants are actually spineless varieties of Trichocereus bridgesii. Though both species can be very similar under certain conditions, you definitely see the difference on flowering plants. Echinopsis pachanoi often has brown or black hairs on the flowers, while the hairs on the Bolivian species are often white. This is not always the case, but sometimes.

Here are some of the Bolivian Trichocereus populations that were visited during Sacred Succulents´Field Trips. Most of the plants are labeled Trichocereus aff. pachanoi, what stands for „affinity to Trichocereus pachanoi“. That means that those plants look similar to Trichocereus pachanoi, while they probably are more closely related to Trichocereus bridgesii. Don´t forget that Echinopsis pachanoi is widely cultivated in every South American country today. It´s just that the Bolivian version of it is Trichocereus bridgesii. It is sometimes called Cactus of the four winds. The latter has become a catchy marketing phrase for everything that has four ribs, but that has more to do with marketing than ancient history. Nonetheless, this phrase has been used for a four-ribbed Bridgesii type. With that said, many plants can temporarily have four ribs, but usually grow some later on.

Here I will show some photos from the Sacred Succulents Field Trips from Bolivia. All those pics are from  Ben Kamm and Sacredsucculents.com. Please support them to make more Field Trips like those possible!

 BK10512.11 Trichocereus aff. pachanoi, near Cuchucunata,  Cochabamba, Bolivia 

Those plants are relatively spineless, but look pretty typical for Bolivian plants between Trichocereus pachanoi and Trichocereus bridgesii. In my eyes, those are just spineless or relatively spineless forms of Trichocereus bridgesii but you would need to take a look at the flowers to verify. There certainly are some cultivated Pachanois in Bolivia, but they are grown as natural fencing or garden plants are did not evolve over time. Most populations of the San Pedro cactus in Bolivia are actually Trichocereus bridgesii.

Trichocereus aff. pachanoi, Arani, Cochabamba, Bolivia 

On this one, you can see the obvious relationship to Trichocereus bridgesii. I originally wrote that it might be related to Trichocereus scopulicola, but it could as well but just another type of Trichocereus bridgesii. But the labeling with aff. pachanoi fits pretty good, though those are all closer related to Trichocereus bridgesii than they are to Trichocereus pachanoi.

BK10508.5 T. aff. pachanoi, Tiatako, Cochabamba, Bolivia 

Another version of the San Pedro cactus in Bolivia. This one is the most interesting, because it might actually be a relative of Trichocereus scopulicola. But I would need to take a closer look at the rest of the plants. On the second pic, the ribs look very much like the ribs on a Trichocereus scopulicola.

Various populations of Trichocereus santaensis 

There are various populations of Trichocereus santaensis. The species originally occurs in the Santa Valley. It is HUGE and it covers and borders other historic cities like Huaraz, Olleros, Ancash and many more. In those regions, you can sometimes find this rare gem labeled as Trichocereus pachanoi or simply SAN PEDRO.

During the Sacred Succulents Field Trips, they visited various populations of Trichocereus santaensis and I want to combine them here on this page.

BK09511.7 Trichocerus santaensis, Rio Santa, Ancash, Peru

This one was visited during the 2009 Field Trip. Near Rio Santa, Ancash, Peru. Pic: Ben Kamm, Sacredsucculents.com! Support them to ensure their survival so they can go on more Field Trips in the future!

It is a super interesting plant that has the typical discoloration of the skin that this species is known for. Werner Rauh particularly mentioned it in his original description. This is probably the archetype of this species. But there are more and the variation among the other related types is HUGE.-Some have longer spines, while some others look more like typical Pachanois. When dealing with Pachanois from Huaraz, it´s sometimes not easy to keep them apart from this species and some people do not differentiate between the two.

BK09509.10 Trichocereus santaensis, Rio Santa near Olleros, Ancash

Another Pic from the same Location as BK09509.9 but different Plant near Olleros. Which is a hotspot for this rare Trichocereus. If you come across plants from this area, it´s probably Trichocereus santaensis. Note the weird spination which is really typical for this species. And once again, the discoloration of the skin.

BK09509.9 Trichocereus santaensis, Rio Santa near Olleros, Ancash, Peru

Another very cool and rare Trichocereus from the sacred Succulents 2009 Field Trip. A large population growing besides the Rio Santa, near Olleros, Ancash, Peru!

Trichocereus peruvianus from Matucana

Trichocereus peruvianus from Matucana

Trichocereus peruvianus from Matucana is one of the most sought after types. Matucana is the type locality of Trichocereus peruvianus, which means that in Matucana you can find the most typical plants according to the description. The description was originally made by the Americans Britton & Rose, and the described a plant that must have been somewhere between Trichocereus peruvianus and Trichocereus cuzcoensis. And yes, Trichocereus cuzcoensis plays a part in the history of Trichocereus peruvianus as well. Both are so closely related and exist with many intermediate forms in between that Britton & Rose´s decision to keep them separated from each other was not regarded without criticism.

One of the most typical Matucana Peruvianus types is the ICARO DNA Peruvianus. Icaro Dna made a name for themselves providing great quality seeds that are probably as true as it gets to the original description. To me, when I hear the name MATUCANA, I think of this remarkable type.

Some more Matucana Peruvianus types are the LOS GENTILES Peruvanus from Sacred Succulents and my own Matucana Peruvianus in my shop! Sorry for the promo, but it´s super high quality seeds that you will love!

But now back to the Matucana Perus. Sacred Succulents had the great luck to visit some of them during their South America Field Trips. Here are some of them:

Trichocereus peruvianus, Matucana, Peru

Trichocereus Peruvianus without a field number. Again in Matucana Peru. Very cool Glauceous Tricho, similar to the cultivar Trichocereus Rosei or Trichocereus Glaucus. Pic: Ben Kamm, Sacredsucculents.com! Please support them because they are awesome!

BK08612.4-A Trichocereus peruvianus, Matucana, Peru

Another frosted Peruvianus from the Location in Matucana. Very similar to the Plants that are labeled „Trichocereus Rosei“. Or Trichocerus Glaucus! Pic: Ben Kamm, Sacredsucculents.com!

Another type that is believed to be a Matucana type is the Australian Trichocereus rosei clone. It´s fabulous and one of my absolute favorites. Rosei 2 is DEFINITELY a Matucana…and Rosei 1 most likely. The alternative would be that it comes from Rimac, but I want to show it here too!

This is Rosei 2, just for comparisons:

Some of those plants are sometimes called Trichocereus santaensis, but those are usually thinner and overall closer to Trichocereus pachanoi or sometimes even Trichocereus bridgesii than they are to Trichocereus peruvianus.

Well, that was one of the more typical Trichocereus peruvianus from Matucana. This city in Peru is one of the historic cactus sites, especially for the species Trichocereus peruvianus. Matucana is the type locality of Trichocereus peruvianus, which means that in Matucana you can find the most typical plants. But there is more; many many plants with cuzcoensis genetics. For example, KK242 is from Matucana too! And due to the high number of intermediates between Trichocereus cuzcoensis and Trichocereus peruvianus, it´s sometimes not easy to draw a firm line between them.

This photo shows a fairly typical KK242 from Matucana. The photo comes from K.Trout and his website troutsnotes.com.

And now compare this to this other plant from Matucana:

It´s funny…but that one was sold as KK242 from Matucana too. Just to give you an understanding of what is actually out there.

Various Trichocereus Species from the Sacred Succulents Trips

On this page, I want to show some of the plants that my friends from Sacred Succulents visited during their Field Trips. I had those listed as separate pages, but it made the whole process to look at them a bit complicated. And that´s why I brought some of the species on one page. On this page, you can see some Trichocereus cuzcoensis, Trichocereus bridgesii, Trichocereus peruvianus and others.

 

BK08519.4 Trichocereus cuzcoensis, Pisac

This plant was visited during the 2008 Sacredsucculents Field Trip. It´s a beautiful Cuzcoensis that partially grows creeping. For some types of Trichocereus cuzcoensis and Trichocereus peruvianus, it´s definitely common that they can lean over and grow hanging down rocky slopes and cliffs. This Trichocereus cuzcoensis from Pisac is relatively typical Cuzcoensis that is not unlike the so well known and widely distributed KK242.

Ben from Sacred Succulents gave away a very limited amount of seeds to people who supported the Sacred Succulenst Field Trips with seed shares and this was one of them.

BK08521.12 Trichocereus cuzcoenis, Ollantaytambo

This one is another rather typical cuzcoensis, but that shows slight variation to what we usually know. This is a plant that is unlike the typical KK242, but which shows relationship to plants like the amazing cuzcos from the Bolivian Isla Del Sol. Definitely an amazing plant!

BK08526.4 Trichocereus cuzcoensis, Peru

Various Trichocereus Species from the Sacred Succulents Trips

Trichocereus peruvianus MATUCANA buy 100 seeds

Trichocereus peruvianus MATUCANA  

This super dark blue Trichocereus peruvianus is from Matucana. It is the archetype of an authentic Peruvianus and very much like the plants from Sacred Succulent´s LOS GENTILES or the very sought after  type from ICARO DNA. It is a NON-CUZCOENSIS Peruvianus that most people would probably call a Trichocereus macrogonus.  

TThis is a perfect Matucana with dark blue skin and beautiful spines. If you want to have a look at some Matucana pics in the habitats, check out those plants that Sacredsucculents.com visited during their Field Trips.

Trichocereus cordobensis (Scopulicola) 100 seeds

Trichocereus cordobensis (Scopulicola) 100 seeds

Trichocereus cordobensis is an extremely interesting plant that probably belongs into the range of the species Trichocereus scopulicola. This species is very rare in nature and there only were a few collections of it. When Friedrich Ritter discovered the species Trichocereus scopulicola, he labeled his collection FR991 and almost all Scops on the market go back to that one collection in the 50s. Now back to Trichocereus cordobensis. It is not an accepted name and there is not a description for it. The city Cordoba is in Argentina, which is far way from Bolivia where Trichocereus scopulicola is endemic. It probably came from an institution called NMCR, which distributed seeds and cacti in the past 20 years. They are the source of many interesting plants, including one very spiny type of Scop that was not identical with Ritter´s original FR991. And that is probably the original source of this plant.

Those seeds here are from an open pollinated fruit on one of those „spiny scops“. The father were probably the Australian hybrid Rosei or a Trichocereus bridgesii that was flowering at the same time. The seeds are extremely clean and viable. Up until now, I did not offer this type in quantities over 30 seeds and this is the first time I have it in stock. There only are a few hundred seeds left and I do not believe I will get fresh ones again. Get it as long as they are there. This is the first time in ages that this plant is available for sale and I am super happy I can offer it. The whole plant is definitely a Scop and I verified this by checking out the flower. It is not just a fat Pachanoi or just a weird plant.

Trichocereus peruvianus RIO LURIN

Trichocereus peruvianus RIO LURIN  

This amazing Trichocereus type comes from the Rio Lurin/Lurin Valley near Lima. The area is full of interesting Trichocereus species and judging by what we grew so far, it is closer to Trichocereus peruvianus than it is to Trichocereus cuzcoensis. But I am still waiting for the grafts to get a little bigger.
