Trichocereus Crowdfunding Success!!

Trichocereus Crowdfunding Success!!


Trichocereus San Pedro Group


Hi guys, it´s been one month since I started the crowdfunding campaign for my book TRICHOCEREUS: THE SAN PEDRO GROUP and it´s been a wild success! Though there is still one month to go, the campaign already reached more than 80% on Indiegogo…and I wanted to thank you all for that! I draw my hat to everyone who bought a book, donated or shared the link in his Facebook profile. Thank you all for making the past month one of the best months in my life!


With that said, the campaign has not officially reached the goal of 10.000 Euro yet, so please check out our campaign on Indiegogo and buy a copy of this extremely limited book! Also feel free to share our link with your friends!


TRICHOCEREUS: THE SAN PEDRO GROUP: https://igg.me/at/2h2Jsr6XawQ/x/13533390


There is also a hardcover Connoisseur edition that is made using the thread stitching technique to make sure your book looks amazing. But don´t get me wrong; the standard edition of my book has a great quality as well. I made sure of that and the whole book will be FULL COLOR. I actually wanted to stop at 300 pages because the costs are substantial, but I just want to make the best book possible and now you will get a book that has 350 – 400 pages!


Let me just give you some info on the content. The whole book is NOT a cheap attempt to grab some money, but a really professional collection of original descriptions and photos showing rare Trichocereus species in their natural habitats. Almost all photos show adult plants in nature, including extremely detailed flower pics and comparisons.

It contains all the rare species that were originally described and fills that up with detailed information about the situation and the climate in the habitats and shows how to tell those rare species apart.


There are never before seen photos from all kinds of South America Field Trips, including photos of Trichocereus santaensis, Trichocereus knuthianus, Trichocereus schoenii, Trichocereus bridgesii, Trichocereus cuzcoensis  and so many more.

There are separate chapters of historic sites like Chavin De Huantar, the Isla Del Sol, Cusco and many other places that are known for their breathtaking Trichocereus populations. It also has separate chapters about the San Pedro cactus in Bolivia, Chile and its original type locality in Ecuador.


So long story short, this book is serious business and a good read! It´s about nothing but botanic and taxonomic facts and does NOT contain anything about borderline legal stuff like cactus ingestion and stuff like that. I want you to know that this is not a book that you need to hide on your bookshelf.


TRICHOCEREUS: THE SAN PEDRO GROUP is available exclusively through this campaign and is only available in a very limited crowdfunding edition. This is NOT a risky crowdfunding campaign and this book WILL BE PUBLISHED. Don´t miss out on it, because you will absolutely love this book and regret it if you don´t get yourself a copy. There only are about 400 books available through the campaign and almost half of them are already sold out! This campaign goes into its final month and I guess you could call it a mid season Finale. I know that it´s not exactly cheap, but all the money goes directly into the quality of the printing and is not made to grab some cash.


So yeah, get it while you still can! Let´s get this baby printed!

Crowdfunding Campaign TRICHOCEREUS VOLUME 1

Crowdfunding Campaign TRICHOCEREUS VOLUME 1



Hi guys, I just wanted to take the time to let you all know about the status of my crowd funding campaign for the printing costs of my book TRICHOCEREUS VOLUME 1: THE SAN PEDRO GROUP. I´ve been working on this book for a few years now and it´s finally getting close to a release date. It´ll have more than 400 all-color pages and will contain hundreds of color pics showing plants from the genus Trichocereus in the habitat, botanic gardens and collections worldwide. There were dozens of well known people helping me with photos for this book and I am extremely proud that I was given the chance to write it! I´ll make sure it´ll be a high quality book that will look awesome on your shelf! There will be descriptions, photos and cultivation advice as well as a detailed guide on how to germinate difficult seed. The book takes a close look at flowers, fruits and old names that are no longer valid. This book contains a whole lot of different species and commercial varieties like Trichocereus pachanoi, Trichocereus peruvianus, Trichocereus bridgesii, Trichocereus scopulicola, Trichocereus tarmaensis, Trichocereus cuzcoensis, Trichocereus huanucoensis, Trichocereus pallarensis and many, many more!

The printing costs are somewhere between 10.000 – 12.000 Euros and that´s why I started the campaign on Indiegogo two days ago. Now after just 2 days, the campaign already reached 50% of its goal and is getting new supporters every single day.


My thanks go out to everyone who supported my campaign…either by buying a copy or just sharing the link or talking about it. I wrote a lot more about the creation process of my book on the campaign page on Indiegogo. You can also buy a copy of it through the following link:

https://trichocereus.net/product/trichocereus-book-vol-1-patrick-noll-buch-cactus-echinopsis


There also are package deals and re-seller packages to make it easier for shops or group-buyers to buy it. The books will be printed in June and the shipping phase begins in June or July. If you are not able to participate in the campaign due to whatever reasons, just let me know and I´ll try to find a way to make it work. It´s important to me that everyone who supports this project will actually get one.

Alright guys, it counts now and if I can´t get the campaign funded, the books won´t look as brilliant as they will when it reaches its goal. So please support this amazing Indie Trichocereus book. The crowdfunding campaign will run for 60 days and I hope to reach the goal within the first 2-3 weeks. If you have any questions or just want to get in touch with me, you can reach me through EG [ät] trichocereus.net. You can also get in touch with me through our Trichocereus Facebook Group!

Trichocereus Books

TRICHOCEREUS VOLUME 1 

Trichocereus Volume 1 aka the Trichocereus book. 





I always felt that there just weren’t enough books on the genus Trichocereus or certain species in particular, which is why I started this project couple years ago.

I spent the past year in a dark chamber and did nothing but writing; and I am seriously thrilled that the release date of this book is finally getting close now! For this book, I was able to source a large number of interesting pictures from habitats, botanic gardens and collections and combined them with the original or self-made descriptions of all the plants related to the San Pedro cactus to make it easier for you to ID plants on sight. Not only does the book include pics and descriptions of Trichocereus pachanoi, but also of all the related species such as Trichocereus peruvianus, Trichocereus bridgesii, Trichocereus scopulicola. It also contains pics and descriptions of the more obscure and unofficial ones, such as Tr. huanucoensis, Trichocereus pallarensis or Tr. huarazensis. And there is a whole lot more, including some never-before-seen pictures from the Sacred Succulents Field trips.

The first edition of TRICHOCEREUS: THE SAN PEDRO GROUP will be published in April 2016! 

400+ pages

Cover: Design not final yet.



KAREL KNIZE TRICHOCEREUS INDEX


newbook

Karel Knize is a well known seed collector and cactus wholesaler from Peru. Though there are no definite numbers, he is probably the biggest source of Trichocereus types available on the market. And not only that. He has a huge list of plants or seeds that were once offered through his seed list or his mail order business and his KK242 Trichocereus cuzcoensis is probably one of the most common types of Trichocereus.

His list is so big that it took me years to source all the pics or cuttings of all those KK Trichos that are or were once offered by Karel Knize. Not only was it difficult to find a complete list, but also impossible to navigate myself through all the interesting types that he had available. I spent years trying to organize and catalog them all, and this book is the result of my (still ongoing) work. If you are buying bulk Trichocereus seeds, this book might be a great help.

The list of Trichocereus species offered by Knize is endless:

Tr. peruvianus, Trichcoereus pachanoi, Trichocereus puquiensis, Trichocereus tulhuayacensis, Trichocereus glaucus, Trichocereus taquimbalensis, Trichocereus validus and many more. Karel Knize´s plants come from Peru, Bolivia Chile or Argentina and I am really happy to have all the Trichocereus species or collections in one book.

I was able to source more than 150 pictures for the KAREL KNIZE TRICHOCEREUS INDEX and I am happy to share them with you in this book. I also got a whole lot of help by Mr. Knize & his family and I am really happy about the outcome of this project.

The KAREL KNIZE TRICHOCEREUS INDEX will be released as a digital ebook once we got all the photos scanned.

160 – 200 pages.



TRICHOCEREUS VOLUME 2
A selection of hybrids,clones and cultivars



What originally started as just one chapter of my first Trichocereus book, really got a life of its own and turned into a huge project about Trichocereus hybrids, and hybrids involving certain species and well known Trichocereus clones.

For this book, I collected 200- 300 photos and descriptions about the countless clones and hybrids passed around in the Trichocereus growers community. Most of those pics will be shown exclusively in this book and I am really proud to share them here with you.

This book is the outcome of over 20 years of hybrid breeding. From Australia to the United States and Europe. Many of my friends donated pictures for this book, and it´s a great privilege that I was able to make this book.

TRICHOCEREUS VOLUME 2 offers origin stories, pics and information about crosses and parents. Info about crosses that turned out great; and crosses that mostly produced monstrose offspring. It shows pictures of parents and their F1 offspring as well as a guide that helps you to ID your plants.

Release Date: Dec 2018 - February 2019

TRICHOCEREUS VOLUME 3:

THE GENUS TRICHOCEREUS


The Genus Trichocereus

TRICHOCEREUS VOLUME 3: THE GENUS TRICHOCEREUS is the final chapter of my Trichocereus series and the result of my ongoing work as a cactus grower, with focus on the genus Trichocereus.

I was working on this book for many years now and it will finally be published around 2020! It´s just a vague estimate, so don´t be surprised if it takes longer than this. The book includes all the descriptions, pics and information about the genus Trichocereus. I dug myself through hundreds of books, including all the early descriptions and added context about whether or not those descriptions are still valid today.

THE GENUS TRICHOCEREUS comes with never before seen pictures of rare plants and is a healthy mix between classic descriptions and new high quality pictures.

Release date: The digital edition (ebook) will be released in late 2020. 

Cover: Jason Hollinger & Micromegas. Design not final. Early promo cover.
